leave the appliance unattended when using the microwave, light-wave or combination
functions, or any of the automatic cooking programmes.
●
This microwave oven is intended for the defrosting, heating and cooking of food only. No
responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these
instructions are not complied with.
●
This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
●
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
●
Caution: The use of the microwave oven by children without supervision must not be
permitted, unless specific and clear instructions have been given prior to use, allowing
the child not only to operate the microwave oven in a safe manner, but also to
understand the dangers resulting from improper use or non-compliance with the
instructions.
●
Warning because of the high temperatures that occur during operation in the
combination functions, children must not use the appliance unless they are properly
supervised by an adult.
●
Do not touch the water container of the steam generator while the appliance is in use.
●
Caution : the base plate is very hot during and after use. Do not touch the plate; there is
a risk of burns.
●
If the water container needs to be replenished during a cooking cycle, the programme
must be stopped before it is refilled; restart the programme afterwards.
●
Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket:
- before cleaning,
- in case of any malfunction.
●
Caution : the exterior surfaces of the appliance may become hot during operation.
There is also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots, with a
consequent risk of scalding.
Keep small children well away from the appliance at
all times.
●
Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or come into contact
with any heat sources. Do not let the power cord hang free, and keep it away from any
hot parts.
●
It is important that the appliance is thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals and that any
food residues are removed. Excessive wear may otherwise be caused to the exposed
surfaces and the life expectancy of the appliance considerably reduced. In addition, its
safety and proper operation may also be affected.
