1. Read this manual before using your oven.
2. As with all electrical appliances, it is wise to have the electrical connections inspected
periodically.
3. The oven interior and door seals should be cleaned frequently, following the
instructions described in the CLEANING section.
4. There is no need to switch off your oven after each function but remember to switch
off at the end of the day or period of operation.
5. Microwave energy should not be used to dry linen or warm plates.
6. As with any cooking appliance, care should be taken to avoid combustion of the
items within the oven.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED
7. Ensure food is placed in the centre of the oven cavity for best results.
8. When using the microwave only function, cover the food to prevent splashing the
walls of the cavity.
9. Food in combustible plastic or paper containers should only be used in microwave
only function and checked frequently to avoid the possibility of ignition.
10. Items should be unwrapped when using convection and combination functions.
11. Eggs and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated using the microwave or
combination function as they may explode.
12. Food with a skin, e.g. potatoes, apples, sausages, etc. should be pierced before
heating.
13. Food should not be heated in a completely sealed container as the build-up of steam
may cause it to explode.
14. Excess fat should be removed during ‘roasting’ and before lifting heavy containers
from the oven.
15. In the event of glass breaking or shattering within the oven, ensure that food is totally
free of glass particles. If in doubt, dispose of any food that was in the oven at the
time of the breakage.
If smoke is observed:

Switch off
 Isolate from the electrical supply
 Keep the door closed to stifle any flames
