INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please read
through these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. Take particular note of the safety precautions. We also
recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference,
so that you can remind yourself of the functions of the
microwave oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General
•
The microwave oven may only be used for its original
purpose, i.e. for preparing food for domestic purposes.
•
The microwave oven is for indoor use only.
•
Always follow the instructions in the "Tips for food
preparation" and "Using utensils when preparing food"
sections.
•
Do not switch the microwave oven on when it is empty. In
order for the microwave oven to be able to absorb
microwaves, there must be something in it (food), otherwise it
may be damaged. If you would like to practise using the
various functions, place a cup of water inside the microwave
oven.
•
Do not use the microwave oven if the turntable ring and glass
tray are not installed.
•
Do not use the microwave oven if the safety locking system is
not functioning, which means that the microwave oven could
be switched on even if the door is not closed. If the door is
open, you risk being exposed to microwave radiation.
•
Do not use the microwave oven if there are cleaning agent
residues inside it.
•
Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance
when it is in use. Children must not be allowed to use the
microwave oven unless supervised by an adult.
•
Never try to repair the microwave oven yourself.
•
When the light bulb inside the microwave oven needs
replacing, please contact the dealer.
•
If the microwave oven, cord or plug needs to be repaired, it
should be taken to an authorised service centre.
Unauthorised repairs or modifications will invalidate the
guarantee. Please contact the store where you bought the
device for repairs under guarantee.
Positioning the microwave
•
Do not block or cover any vent holes on the microwave oven.
•
Do not place the microwave oven or the cord near hot areas,
for example gas rings and electric hotplates.
•
Do not remove the feet of the microwave oven.
•
This microwave oven is not suitable for integral installation,
and you must check that the vent holes on the rear, side and
top of the cabinet are not covered. If they are covered while
the microwave oven is in use, there is a risk of it overheating.
The microwave oven cannot then be used until it has cooled
down.
Using the microwave oven
•
Do not use the microwave oven if the cord or plug is
damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been
damaged by a heavy impact or similar.
•
When using combination cooking the microwave oven can
get very hot.
•
Never prepare food directly on the glass tray; always use a
suitable container.
Fire hazard!
To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven compartment,
please note the following points:
•
Do not cook food for too long or at too high a temperature,
and do not leave the microwave oven unattended if paper,
plastic or other flammable materials have been used in the
microwave oven with a view to reducing cooking times.
•
Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can
cause sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be
removed.
•
Never heat oil or fat in the microwave oven.
•
If materials in the microwave oven catch fire, leave the door
closed. Switch the microwave oven off immediately, and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
