ATTENTION!
In order to avoid burns, electrical
shocks, fires, the effects of microwave radiation
leaks and not harm your health:
1. Carefully read all the instructions before using the

appropriate instructions so they understand the dan-
ger of using the device improperly and you are sure
that they can operate the oven and follow all safety
measures.
7. In order to avoid the risk of fire in the microwave
cooking chamber:

tainers in order to avoid the possibility of the packag-
ing starting on fire.
- Before heating food in plastic or paper containers, be
sure to remove any metal parts.

thick skins, like potatoes, squash or apples.
12.Before feeding children, in order to avoid burns, mix
the contents of the bottle well and check the temper-
ature of its contents.
13.Dishes can heat up significantly due to the heat of
the food they contain, so always use an oven mitt or
towel to remove them from the oven.
14.Dishes should be checked first for their compatibility
with microwave ovens.
ATTENTION! It is dangerous to attempt repairs or
servicing yourself due to the removal of the housing
that protects against dangerous microwave energy.
Do not repair the oven yourself!
