INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please read through
these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular
note of the safety precautions. We also recommend that you keep the
instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the
functions of the microwave oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General
• The microwave oven may only be used for its original purpose, i.e.
for preparing food for domestic purposes.
• The microwave oven is for indoor use only.
• Always follow the advice in "Tips for food preparation" and "Using
utensils when preparing food" sections.
• Do not switch the microwave oven on when it is empty. In order for
the microwave oven to be able to absorb microwaves, there must be
something in it (food), otherwise it may be damaged. If you would like
to practise using the various functions, place a cup of water inside
the microwave oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven without the roller ring and glass
turntable in place.
• Do not use the microwave oven if the door safety locking system is
not functioning, which means that the microwave oven could be
switched on even if the door is not closed. If the door is open, you
risk being exposed to microwave radiation.
• Do not use the microwave oven if there are cleaning agent residues
inside it.
• Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance when it is
in use. Children may only use the microwave oven under the
supervision of an adult.
• Never try to repair the microwave oven yourself.
• When the bulb inside the microwave oven needs replacing, contact
the place of purchase.
• If the microwave oven, cord or plug needs to be repaired, it should
be taken to an authorised service centre. Unauthorised repairs or
modifications will invalidate the guarantee. Please contact the store
where you bought the device for repairs under guarantee.
Positioning the microwave oven
• Do not block or cover any air vents on the microwave oven.
• Do not place the microwave oven or the cord near hot areas, for
example gas rings and electric hotplates.
• Do not remove the feet of the microwave oven.
• This microwave oven is designed to be free-standing. Always ensure
the air vents on top of the cabinet are not covered. If they are
covered while the microwave oven is in use, there is a risk of it
overheating. The microwave oven cannot then be used until it has
cooled down.
Using the microwave oven
• Do not use the microwave oven if the cord or plug is damaged, if it is
not functioning properly, or if it has been damaged by a heavy impact
or similar.
• The microwave oven can become very hot when the combination
cooking function is being used.
• Never cook food directly on the glass turntable; always use a suitable
container.
Fire hazard!
To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven compartment, please note
the following points:
• Do not cook food for too long or at too high a temperature, and do
not leave the microwave oven unattended if paper, plastic or other
flammable materials have been used in the microwave oven with a
view to reducing cooking times.
• Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can cause sparks
in the microwave oven and must therefore be removed.
• Never heat oil or fat in the microwave oven.
• If materials inside the microwave oven catch fire, leave the oven door
closed. Switch the microwave oven off immediately, and remove the
plug from the wall socket.
