XXXXXXXXXXXXX IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.
3.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature
and stir before serving and pay special
attention to the temperature of food and
drink given to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink; always
check the food temperature.
4. Always stand back from the oven door when
opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and
heat.
5. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
To avoid misuse by children
1. Do not lean or swing on the oven door.
2. Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal
of food coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
Other warnings
1. Never modify the oven in any way.
2. Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
3. This oven is for home food preparation only and
may only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable
for commercial or laboratory use.
To promote troublefree use of your oven and
avoid damage.
1. Never operate the oven when it is empty except
where recommended in the operation manual.
Doing so may damage the oven.
2. When using a browning dish or self-heating
material, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and turntable support due
to heat stress.The preheating time specified in the
dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.
3. Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves
and may cause electrical arcing.
Use only the turntable and the turntable support
designed for this oven. Do not operate the oven
without the turntable.
4. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
NOTE:
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please
consult an authorised, qualified electrician.Neither the
manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability
for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting
from failure to observe the correct electrical connection
procedure.Water vapour or drops may occasionally
form on the oven walls or around the door seals and
sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not
an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.
5. Do not allow the power supply cord to run
over any hot or sharp surfaces, such as
the hot air vent area at the top rear of the
oven.
6. Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the
oven of 13 cm.
7. Securely connect the plug of the oven to a standard
earthed (grounded) household electrical outlet.
1. Remove all packing materials from the inside of
the oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet
from between the door and cavity. Remove the
feature sticker, if attached, from the outside of the
door.
2. Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage.
3. Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough
to support the oven’s weight plus the heaviest item
likely to be cooked. The oven rear surface should
be placed against the wall.
This oven is designed for countertop or built-in use.
Do not place the oven in a cabinet. When building
the oven into a kitchen unit, see IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS No. 1 on page GB-6.

cooking. Place or mount the oven so
that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or
