ENGLISH
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.

adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least
10 cm (4 inches) of space behind and, on the sides
of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above.
