• Do not use plastic containers for microwaving
if the oven is still hot from using the grill, dual
and automatic operation (exept auto defrost),
because they may melt. Plastic containers must
not be used during above modes unless the
container manufacturer says they are suitable.
• If you are unsure how to connect your oven,
please consult an authorised, qualified
electrician.
• Water vapour or drops may occasinally form
on the oven walls or around the door seals and
sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence
and is not an indication of microwave leakage
or a malfunction.
• The electrical outlet must be readily accessible
so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
• Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional
oven.
• Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity
and the turntable after use. After cooking fatty
foods without lid, always clean the cavity and
especially the grill heating elements tho-
roughly. These must be dry and free from
grease. Built-up grease may overheat and be-
gin to smoke or catch fire.
• Individuals with pacemakers should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pace-
maker for precautions regarding microwave
ovens.
• Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug
in water or any other liquid.
• Do not let the power supply cord hang over
the edge of a table or work surface.
• Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces, including the rear of the oven.
• Always open containers, popcorn makers,
oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face
and hands to avoid steam burns.
• Always stand back from the oven door when
opening it, to avoid burns from escaping steam
and heat.
Danger: Only permit children unsupervised
use of the microwave oven when they have
received adequate instruction in its operation.
Children must understand the dangers from
improper usage.
• To minimize the risk of fire in the microwave:
When heating food in plastic or paper con-
tainers, always keep an eye on the microwave
when it is in operation, as these materials can
catch fire.
• Remove closures containing wire from paper
or plastic bags, before placing them in the
microwave.
• Should you notice smoke, switch the appliance
off or pull the plug from the socket and keep the
door closed to suffocate any possible flames.
• Do not use the interior of the microwave for
storage purposes. Do not leave paper items,
cooking utensils or food in the microwave
when it is not being used.
Important: Liquids and other foods must not
be heated in airtight containers, as these may
explode and damage the appliance. When
heating beverages in the microwave, bubbling
may be delayed when the drink boils. There-
fore, be careful when handling the container.
• Do not fry in the microwave. Hot oil can
damage parts of the appliance and utensils
and even cause skin burns.
• Eggs in their shells and hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in the microwave, as
they may explode, even after completion of
the heating process.
Food with thick skins, such as potatoes, whole
pumpkins, apples and chestnuts must be
pricked before cooking.
The content of babies’ bottles or jars of baby
food should be shaken or stirred.
