CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Read these warnings carefully before starting using the oven for the first time. This will help to obtain the
best results and to avoid mistakes.
1) This oven has been designed to defrost, reheat and cook food in the home. It must not be used for any
other purpose, nor modified or tampered with in any way.
2) Before connecting the oven to the mains, check to be certain that the door closes tightly. Also check that
the metal frame is not warped and that the hinges and hooks have not loosened. In the event that these
parts have been damaged, the microwave oven cannot be used until a qualified technician has made the
necessary repairs.
3) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices.
4) Do not operate the oven if objects of any kind get stuck between the front panel of the oven and the door.
Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. Do not
allow dirt or food remains to accumulate between the front panel of the oven and the door.
5) Never place heavy objects on the door when open. Never force the open door downwards. Never place
hot pots/dishes on the open door.
6)
Do not operate the oven if the feeder cable or the plug is damaged, as this may result in electric shocks.
7)
Adjustment, repair and replacement of the feeder cable should only be carried out by personnel trained
by the manufacturer or by his Service Centre. Repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dan-
gerous.
8)
If the oven should begin to smoke as a result of food burning inside, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn
the oven off immediately or disconnect the plug from the power socket.
9) Children or infirm persons should not be allowed to use this product unsupervised.
Do not allow children near the oven when it is in operation, as this may result in severe burns.
10) In order to avoid overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to supervise the oven when
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other inflammable materials, and
when heating small quantities of food.
11) During use, the oven will become hot. Never touch the electrical element located in the oven cavity when
the oven is on.
12) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) the contents may suddenly start to boil and spill violently
as a result of delayed boiling, causing scalding. To avoid this happening, you should place a heat-resis-
tant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids.
13) Do not heat spirits with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire!
14)
After heating baby food (contained in feeding bottles or small jars) ALWAYS check the food before it
