IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric shock and other warnings:

Listed below are, as with all appliances, certain rules to follow and safeguards to assure high
performance from this oven:

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than

food preparation, such as for drying clothes,
paper, or any other nonfood items or for
sterilizing purposes.

2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could

damage the oven.

3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of

storage, such as papers, cookbook,
cookware, etc.

4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray

in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the
rotating base.

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to

cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.

6. Do not put foreign material between the oven

surface and door. It could result in excessive
leakage of microwave energy.

7. Do not use recycled paper products for

cooking. They may contain impurities which
could cause sparks and/or fires when used
during cooking.

8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a

microwave approved popcorn popper or
unless it's commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave
ovens. Microwave popped corn produces a
lower yield than conventional popping; there
will be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not
use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a

membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes,
chicken livers, etc., without first piercing them
several times with a fork.

10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the

manufacturer's directions. (popping time is
generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking
does not yield more popped corn, it can
cause scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to
handle or may break.

11. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug

the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.

12. When heating food in plastic or paper

containers, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition.

13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby

food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature  checked before consumption, in
order to avoid burns.

14. Always test the temperature of food or drink

which has been heated in a microwave oven
before you give it to somebody, especially to
children or elderly people. This is important
because things which have been heated in a
microwave oven carry on getting hotter even
though the microwave oven cooking has
stopped.

15. 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;

16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.

Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth
after each use. If you leave grease or fat
anywhere in the cavity it may overheat,
smoke or even catch fire when next using the
oven.

17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you

cannot control the temperature and doing so
may lead to overheating and fire.

18. Microwave heating of beverages can result

in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.

19. a) Be cautions about touching parts other than

control panel during or immediately following grill
or combi cooking.

b) Always use hot pads or oven mitts when placing

or removing food and/or accessories from the
oven.
