Moulinex COMPACT GRILL MW221031 - Manual (Page 14)

Important safety instructions
Read carefully and keep for future reference.
1. Your appliance is for domestic use. It is intended only for cooking, hea-
ting and defrosting foods and drinks. Use it only for these purposes.
2. This appliance is not designed to be used by persons (including children) of redu-
ced physical, sensorial or mental capacity or persons with no experience or knowled-
ge, unless they are instructed and supervised in the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety, supervision or instruction prior to use of the appliance.
3. Young children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. Only allow children to use the oven without supervision
when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use
the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
Beware of the risk of burns.
The accessible parts may become hot during use. It is recommended
to keep them out of reach of young children.
4. During use, the appliance becomes hot. Be careful not to touch the heating
elements inside the oven. The same also applies to the door, the grill element,
the inner (cavity) walls, the top surface.
In order to avoid burns when removing containers and accessories
from the oven, always use oven gloves.
5. This appliance is not intended to be operated using an external timer or
separate remote control system.
6. Do not operate your appliance when empty. This can cause damage. To try
out programming the appliance, place a glass of water in the oven. This will
absorb the microwaves and protect your oven against damage.
7. The door must be free to close properly :
Do not obstruct the door in any way (with oven cloths, oven gloves, over-size
dishes etc.). If the door of your appliance is not properly closed, a safety
mechanism will prevent its being turned on.
8. When cooking in grill mode, any fat splashing the grill element may
catch fire. These flames will extinguish themselves and will not have any
adverse effect on your appliance if it is regularly maintained.
To avoid fat spitting during cooking, especially when cooking meats
and poultry, use dishes in glazed earthenware. Always maintain a
minimum gap of 2 cm between the food and the grill element.
9. Never obstruct the ventilation holes. This can cause the oven to over-
heat. If this happens, your appliance will stop automatically and will not
start again until it has cooled sufficiently.
10. Precautions against exposure to microwaves :
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any
service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
• Never attempt to operate your appliance with the door open, to interfere with
the safety door-locking mechanism or to insert anything in this mechanism.
• Never place anything in the way of opening and closing the door.
• Never allow food or cleaning product residues to accumulate on the
door seals. Ensure that the door and its seals remain clean. After use,
wipe them with a damp cloth and dry them carefully.
• It is particularly important that the oven door should close correctly and
that there is no defect in :
- the door, the seals, the hinges,
- the supply cable.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be opera-
ted until it ha benn repaired by a competent person.
If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufac-
turer, its after sales service or some other competent persons in
order to avoid any hazard.
11. For your safety, this appliance is compliant with the applicable stan-
dards and regulations (Low Voltage, Electromagnetic Compatibility,
Materials in Contact with Foodstuffs and Environmental Directives).
Never use your oven if it is damaged.
In no case should your oven be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a
qualified microwave appliance repair technician, trained by the manufacturer.
These instructions have not been devised for the UK market. The reci-
pes have also been devised using flour, yeast and food ingredients not
available in the UK. Recipes made using flour and yeast available in the
UK may give significantly different results and be unsuccessful.
The following recommendations will help you get the greatest benefit
from using your oven. Please read them carefully.
Foods
Forbidden foods
You should never :
• Attempt to fry food – it is impossible to control the temperature of the
oil and other fats – fire-risk,
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave hea-
ting has ended.
• Attempt to cook food in an intact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin
(tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) – always make a slit.
Food temperatures
The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The
container may, therefore, remain cold or cool while the food that it
contains is burning hot.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken
and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to
check the temperature.
Preparing food for cooking
Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers.
Remember to cover the food in order to :
• Avoid any splashing of the oven cavity,
• Retain sufficient moisture for cooking.
