_ safety instructions
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;
Also do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars,
containers, nuts inshells, tomatoes etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. They may
catch fire as hot air escapes from the oven. The oven may also
overheat and switch itself off automatically, and will remain off
until it cools sufficiently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the oven to
avoid unintentional burns.
Do not touch heating elements or interior oven walls until the
oven has cooled down.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and
allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to
prevent eruptive boiling.
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to
avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.
Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty. The
microwave oven will automatically shut down for 30 minutes for
safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water inside
the oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in case the
microwave oven is started accidentally.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances stated in this
manual. (See installing your microwave oven.)
Take care when connecting other electrical appliances to
sockets near the oven.
