INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please read
through these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. Pay particular attention to the safety measures. We also
recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference,
so that you can remind yourself of the functions of your
microwave oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES
• 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.
• 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 cord or plug must not be submerged in water, and the
microwave oven must not be used in a wet or damp
environment.
• Do not place the microwave oven or the cord near hot areas,
for example gas rings and electric hotplates.
• Do not touch the microwave oven when the grill function is
being used, as it gets very hot.
• Do not block or cover any vent holes on the microwave oven.
• Position the microwave oven so that there is sufficient space
on all sides.
• 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.
• The oven door safety lock system must not be modified in
any way. Do not use the microwave oven if the oven door
safety locking system is not functioning, which means that
the microwave oven could be switched on even if the oven
door is not closed. If the oven door is open, you risk being
exposed to microwave radiation.
• Make sure that dirt or cleaning agent residue does not collect
on the contact surfaces between the microwave oven’s front
and the oven door.
• Clean the microwave oven regularly and do not use it if there
are cleaning agent residues inside it.
• Never heat oil or fat in the microwave oven.
• Never store utensils or foodstuffs in the oven compartment.
• Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance
when it is in use.
• Always follow the advice in the ‘Tips for food preparation’
section.
• Never try to repair the microwave oven yourself.
• If the microwave oven, cord or plug needs to be repaired, it
should be taken to an authorised service centre. If the
appliance is subjected to unauthorised repairs, the guarantee
will become void. Contact your retailer if the repairs fall under
the terms of the guarantee.
Fire hazard!
To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven compartment,
please note the following points:
• Clean the oven compartment regularly. Grease and food
residues on the cover over the magnetron may overheat and
ignite.
• 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.
• Foods with a high fat content may ignite if the microwave
power is too high or if they are being grilled. Be careful when
preparing ribs, for example.
• Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can
cause sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be
removed.
• If fire or smoke occurs in the oven compartment, leave the
oven door closed. Switch the microwave oven off
immediately, and remove the plug from the wall socket.
