Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in fi re and damage to prop-
erty.
■
To ensure suffi cient air circulation, it
is imperative that the instructions in
the “Start-up” chapter are followed.
■
Do not cover the appliance with blan-
kets, cloths or similar, as these objects
may become hot and catch fi re.
■
When heating food in plastic or pa-
per containers, keep an eye on the
oven due to the possibility of ignition.
■
The microwave oven is intended for
heating food and beverages. Dry-
ing of food or clothing and heating
of warming pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar may lead to
risk of injury, ignition, or fi re.
■
Do not place any objects in the cook-
ing chamber (recipe book, oven
gloves, etc.). Accidentally switching
on the appliance can cause damage
or even ignition. Do not use the cook-
ing chamber for storage purposes.
■
Never heat fl ammable objects or
dishes containing alcohol.

Never deep-fry or heat oil! The oil
temperature cannot be monitored.

If smoke is emitted, switch off or un-
plug the appliance and keep the door
closed in order to stifl e any fl ames.
■
If a fi re starts, keep the cooking cham-
ber door closed, immediately pull the
plug out of the socket or switch off
the automatic circuit breakers and/or
unscrew the fuses.

General risks when cooking food
Health hazard!
Improper use of this appliance can lead
to damage to health.

The oven should be cleaned regularly
and any food deposits removed.

oration of the surface that could ad-
versely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous sit-
uation.
