CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Read these warnings carefully before starting to use the oven. This will help to obtain the best results and
to avoid mistakes being made.
1) This oven has been designed to defrost, reheat and cook food in the home. It must not be used for any
other purpose, nor modified or tampered with in any way.
2) Before connecting this oven to your electrical system, check to be certain that the door closes tightly. Also
check to see that the metal frame is not warped and that the hinges and hooks have not loosened. In the
event that these parts have been damaged, the microwave oven cannot be used until a qualified techni-
cian (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service) has made the necessary repairs.
3) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices.
4) Do not operate the oven if objects of 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 and the door (fig. 1).
5)
The following warnings must be considered when the door is open:
•
do not apply excessive pressure by placing heavy objects on the door or
by pulling the handle downwards, as the appliance may tip over.
•
never place hot containers or pans (e.g. just taken off the stove) on the turn-
table.
6) Do not operate the oven if the feeder cable or the plug is damaged, as this
may result in electric shocks.
7)
Adjustment, repair and replacement of the feeder cable should only be car-
ried out by personnel trained by the manufacturer or by his Service Centre
(fig. 3). Repairs carried out by unqualified personnel may be dangerous.
8) If the oven should begin to smoke as a result of food burning inside, DO
NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn the oven off immediately or remove the plug
from the power socket.
9) The oven must only be used by adults.
Do not allow children near the oven when it is in operation, as this may
result in severe burns.
10) In order to avoid overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisa-
ble 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.
11) Please remember that the walls of the oven and the door heat up when in
operation. Never touch the electrical element located inside the oven.
12) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is possible that the con-
tents may suddenly start to boil and spill violently as a result of delayed boi-
ling, causing scalding. To avoid this happening, you should place a heat-
resistant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container (fig. 4) before star-
ting to heat liquids.
13) Do not heat spirits with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil,
as these could catch fire!
