1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Read these instructions carefully and keep for future reference.
N.B. This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the home.
It must never be used for other purposes, modified or tampered with in any way.
1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, do not use the appliance until it has been repaired by
a qualified service engineer (trained by the manufacturer or by the dealer's Customer Service).
2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified service engineer to carry out any service or
repair operation involving the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave
energy.
3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
4) WARNING: Do not allow children to use the oven without supervision unless they
have been adequately instructed in how to use the oven safely and are aware of
the hazards of improper use. Keep children away from the oven while in opera-
tion (risk of burns).
5) WARNING: when operating in combi mode, the oven becomes extremely hot.
Do not allow children to use it without adult supervision.
6) Do not tamper with the safety devices in an attempt to operate the oven with the
door open.
7) Do not operate the oven if objects of any kind become lodged between the front
panel of the oven and the door. Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean,
using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. Do not allow dirt or remains
of food to accumulate between the front panel of the oven and the door.
8) When the door is open, do not place heavy objects on the door or pull
downwards excessively on the handle as the oven could tip over. Never rest hot
containers or pans (eg. just taken off the stove) on the open door.
9) Do not operate the oven if the power cable or plug is damaged as there is a risk
of electric shock. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, an authorised technical service centre or a qualified electrician in
order to avoid all risk.
10) If smoke comes out of the oven, switch off and unplug immediately. Keep the
door closed to stifle any flames.
11) Use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens only. To avoid overheating and
the consequent risk of fire, you should check the oven when cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other inflammable mate-
rials and when heating small quantities of food.
12) Never place the turntable in water after it has been heated for a long time. The
resulting thermal shock would break the turntable.
13) When cooking in "MICROWAVE ONLY" and "COMBI WITH MICROWAVE"
functions, you must on no account preheat the oven (without containing food).
Never operate the oven when empty, as sparks may be produced.
14) Before using the oven, make sure the utensil and containers chosen are suitable
for microwave oven use (see the section on "Ovenware") .
15) The appliance becomes hot when in operation. Never touch the grill elements
inside the oven.
16) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.), a delayed action may cause the
contents to boil over unexpectedly with a risk of scalds. To avoid this happening,
you should place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container
before starting to heat liquids (fig. 4).
Always take extreme care when handling the container.
17) Do not heat spirits with a high alcohol content, or large quantities of oil. Both
types of liquid are flammable!
