2. Read and follow the specific "precautions to
avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave
energy" above.
3. The oven must be placed on a countertop which
is a minimum of 920mm(36 inches) from the
floor. For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient air flow. Allow 20cm (7.8¨) of space
above the oven, 10cm (4¨) at back and
5cm (2¨) at both sides.
Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance. Do not remove feet.

containers, for example, closed glass jars may
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
