ENGLISH
The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance
is operating.
CaUTION
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens;
DO NOT use any metallic containers, Dinnerware with gold or
silver trimmings, Skewers, forks, etc.
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags.
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may
damage the oven.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye
on the oven due to the possibility of ignition;
Do not use your microwave oven to dry papers or clothes.
Use shorter times for smaller amounts of food to prevent
overheating and burning food.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and
keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames;
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits
removed;
Do not immerse the power cable or power plug in water and
keep the power cable away from heat.
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; Also do not heat airtight or vacuum-
sealed bottles, jars, containers, nuts inshells, tomatoes etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. They may
catch fire as hot air escapes from the oven. The oven may also
overheat and switch itself off automatically, and will remain off
until it cools sufficiently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the oven to
avoid unintentional burns.
Do not touch heating elements or interior oven walls until the
oven has cooled down.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and
allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to
prevent eruptive boiling.
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to
avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.
Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty. The
microwave oven will automatically shut down for 30 minutes
for safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water
inside the oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in case
the microwave oven is started accidentally.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances stated in this
manual (see Installing Your Microwave Oven)
Take care when connecting other electrical appliances to
sockets near the oven.
