CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference
1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repai-
red by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).
2) WARNING: 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.
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 hea-
ted in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave hea-
ting has ended.
4) WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when
adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the
oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. Do not
allow children near the oven when it is in operation, as this may result in
severe burns.
5) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the
safety devices.
6) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck 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 on the door.
7) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this may result in electric shocks.
8) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED in order to stifle
any flames.
9) Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to avoid overheating and the con-
sequent risk of fire, it is advisable to supervise the oven when cooking food in disposable containers
made of plastic, cardboard or other inflammable materials, and when heating small quantities of food.
10) Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time.
The high thermal shock resulting would break the turntable.
11) When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and "COMBINED WITH MICROWA-
VE" , you absolutely must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it) and
you must not operate it when it is empty, because you might cause sparking.
12) Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers
chosen are suitable for microwave oven use (see the section on "OVENWA-
RE TO BE USED").
13) During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements
inside the oven.
14) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is possible that the contents
may suddenly start to boil and spill violently as a result of delayed boiling,
causing scalding. To avoid this happening, you should place a heat-resistant
plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids.
