MICROWAVE OVEN
Please acquaint yourself with these instructions before using your microwave oven.
If these instructions are strictly adhered to, your microwave oven will serve you trouble-free for many years.
Store these instructions in an easily accessible location
PRECAUTIONS, WHICH MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF MICROWAVE ENERGY
EXPOSURE
1. Do not attempt to use the microwave oven with the door open as you will risk exposure to harmful microwave
energy. It is very important that you do not damage the internal latches and door blocking mechanism.
2. Do not place foreign objects between the door and the front of the microwave oven and do not allow food or
cleaning liquid remnants to build up on the screening grill or on the inside of the door.
3. Do not use the microwave oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. It is especially important that the door always
be closed and that the following parts are not damaged:
• door
(bent)
• hinges and latches (broken or weakened)
• screening grill on the inside of the door
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: While the microwave oven is operating in combination mode (MIC GRILL) or being operated by
children, an adult should always be present to supervise in order to prevent the children from burning themselves.
WARNING: Do not use the microwave oven if the screening grill on the door is damaged.
WARNING: Repairing a microwave oven always presents danger to any person conducting the repairs if it is neces-
sary to remove the metal housing that provides protections from microwave radiation. Do not repair the microwave
oven yourself.
WARNING: Do not forget to open products packaged in hermetic or vacuum packaging before heating or cooking.
Otherwise, pressure could grow within the package and cause it to explode, regardless of whether or not the food
was prepared earlier.
WARNING: Children may only use the microwave oven by themselves after they have been acquainted with these
instructions and understand the dangers associated with operating a microwave oven.
• Use only microwave-safe dishes. Do not use metallic dishes in the microwave oven as microwaves reflected off
the dish may cause sparks and fire.
• In order to avoid overheating and burning food, constantly supervise the microwave's operation if you are heat-
ing food in disposable plastic, paper or other similar containers or if the oven is heating only a small amount of
food.
• When heating any kind of liquid (water, coffee, milk, etc.), keep in mind that it can suddenly start to boil and
splash on your hands while you are removing it from the oven. To avoid this, place a heat resistant plastic spoon
or glass mixer in the container and stir the liquid before removing it from the oven.
• Infant feeding bottles and jars of baby food should be heating without lids or nipples. Their contents should be
mixed or periodically shaken. Test the temperature of the food before feeding in order to prevent burns.
Important information
• ALWAYS check to make sure the food is not too hot before giving it to a child. We recommend shaking the bottle
or jar to make sure the heat is distributed evenly throughout the volume of the container.
• Do not cook an egg in its shell or reheat an egg in its shell in MICROWAVE mode as they can break from the
internal pressure.
SAFETY MEASURES
1. Install the oven on a flat, stable surface. Choose a place that will not be accessible to small children.
2. Install the oven so that the distance between the wall and the back of the oven is no less than 7-8 cm and the free
space above the microwave is no less than 30 cm.
3. The microwave door is equipped with a blocking system that turns off the power when it is open. Do not make
changes to the operation of the door blocking mechanism.
4. Do not turn on the microwave while empty; operating the oven with no food inside can lead to malfunction.
5. Preparing foods with extremely small moisture contents can lead to burning and fire.
If a fire occurs:
• Do not open the door.
• Turn off the microwave oven and disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.
6. When preparing bacon, do not place it directly on the glass tray; localized overheating of the glass tray can cause
it to crack.
7. Do not heat liquids in containers with narrow openings.
