To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power
levels that are too high or cooking times
that are too long may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.
This oven is not designed to fit into a kitchen unit.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so
that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with
a minimum 16 A distribution line fuse, or a
minimum 16 A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional
oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to smoke,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and
unplug the oven and wait until the food
has stopped smoking. Opening the door
while food is smoking may cause a fire.
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page 22 - 23.
Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity and the turntable after use. After
cooking fatty foods without a lid, always
clean the cavity and especially the grill
heating elements thoroughly. These must
be dry and free from grease. Built-up
grease may overheat and begin to
smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation
openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from
food and food packages. Arcing on metallic
surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and
the oil may catch fire.

To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a)The door; make sure the door closes properly
and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b)The hinges and safety door latches; check to
make sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure
that they have not been damaged.
d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make
sure there are no dents.
e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that
they are not damaged.
Never adjust , repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone
other than a competent person to carry
out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of a cover
which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or
alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up
on the door seals and adjacent parts.
Follow the instructions for “Care and
Cleaning” on page 20. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to a deterioration of the
surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result
in a hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker
for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
