Safety instructions
Warning: this oven must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug socket is within
easy reach of the power cord.
Warning: only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of
improper use.
¾ Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance, and the
appliance and cable should be kept completely out of reach of young children.
¾ This appliance is not designed for use by children, or persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, and should not be used by such persons unless they can do so safely.
Where necessary, such persons (or anyone with lack of experience or knowledge) should
first be given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Warning: it is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
Warning: if the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a competent person. The door seals are located around the window on the inside of
the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves can be released; it is normal for
small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven is in use.
Warning: liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers, as they are liable to
explode.
¾ Do not operate the microwave if damaged or after it malfunctions. In the event the supply
cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service engineer, with a suitably
approved part.
¾ Keep the microwave, cable and plug dry, never immerse in water.
¾ When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition
¾ Only use the oven for preparing food. For example do not use for drying clothes, paper or
any other non-food items, or for sterilising purposes.
¾ To avoid damaging the oven, do not use the oven when the cavity is empty. The oven may
be empty (used as a timer) with the power set to zero – see page 8.
¾ Do not use the oven when it is empty. This could damage the oven.
¾ Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on.
¾ Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken
livers, ready meals and so on without piercing them several times with a fork.
¾ Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens
since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
¾ Never cover the air vents or put any objects into the openings in the outer case.
¾ Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on.
¾ Only use utensils recommended in these instructions – see page 12.
¾ Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven.
¾ Heat from the contents of a container may be transmitted to the container itself, so please be
careful when removing it from the oven. Please remember that the food or liquid inside will be
releasing some steam or will be spitting. Never cover any container fully, always leave a gap
for steam to escape.
¾ Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is
especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. You may
need oven gloves to handle the utensil.
