SAFETY INFORMATION
•
WARNING:
If the door seal is damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired
by a competent person trained on the appliance.
•
WARNING:
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service
repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
•
WARNING:
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable
to explode. Eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after heating has ended.
•
WARNING:
Children should not be allowed near the oven when it is in operation, as this may
result in severe burns.
•
Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices.
•
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 clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive
detergents.
•
Do not allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate between the front panel of the oven and the
door.
•
The following warnings must be observed when the door is open:
a)
Do not place heavy objects on the door or pull the handle downwards any further as the
appliance may tip over.
b)
Never place hot containers or pans on the door.
•
If the power cable becomes damaged, this must be substituted only by specialised personnel
authorised by the manufacturer.
•
If smoke is seen, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED in order to
stifle any flames.
•
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. 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.
•
Never place the turntable in water after it has been heated for a long time. The high thermal shock
resulting would break the glass turntable.
•
Do not preheat or operate the microwave oven in any way without food in the oven. Sparking can
occur if this warning is ignored and damage to the magnetron.
•
Before using the oven, make sure that utensils and containers are suitable for microwave ovens.
•
During use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.
•
When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk), it is possible that the contents may suddenly start to boil
and spill violently as a result of delayed boiling, causing scalding. To avoid this happening, place a
heat resistant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids. Care
should be taken when handling the container.
•
Do not heat spirits with high alcoholic content, not large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire.
•
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the
temperature should be checked before consumption in order to avoid burns. It is also advisable to
stir or shake the food in order to ensure it is an even temperature.
When using a commercially available bottle steriliser, before turning the oven on, ALWAYS
make sure the container is filled with the quantity of water indicated by the manufacturer.
•
NOTE: When the oven is used for the first time it is possible that for a period of
approximately 10 minutes it may produce a 'new' smell and a small amount of smoke.
This is only a result of protective substances applied to the heating element.
