IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use. The safety precautions enclosed
herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to.
Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference, along with the
completed warranty card, purchase receipt and carton. Note the product serial
number on this manual, so you always have it ready at hand. If applicable, pass
these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy
• Do not tamper with the safety locking mechanism, and do not attempt to use
the microwave oven with the door open. The door needs to be tightly shut to
prevent harmful exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow any object to prevent the door from closing. Also, do not allow
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not use the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that there is no
damage to the oven door (bent, warped or otherwise damaged), hinges and
latches (broken or loosened), door seals and sealing surfaces.
• Warning!
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
• Warning!
Do not attempt to repair the oven or adjust it yourself. Any repair
must only be carried out by qualified personnel. It is hazardous for anyone else
to remove a cover which protects against exposure to microwave energy.
Precautions to avoid the risk of fire in the microwave interior
• Keep an eye on the microwave oven when heating food in plastic or paper
containers as these could ignite.
• If you detect smoke, switch the oven off immediately, unplug it, and keep the
oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• WARNING! Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying as its temperature cannot be
controlled.
• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the oven.
• Do not overcook food.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the interior, and do
not use the oven for storage purposes when it is not in use.
• After use wipe the waveguide cover first with a damp, then a dry cloth, to
remove any food splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and
begin to cause smoke or catch fire.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote control system.
