INTRODUCTION

To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please read

through these instructions carefully before using it for the first

time. Pay particular attention to the safety measures. We also

recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference,

so that you can remind yourself of the functions of the

microwave oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES

•  

The microwave oven may only be used for its original

purpose, i.e. for preparing food for domestic purposes.

•  

The microwave oven is for indoor use only.

•  

Do not use the oven if the cord or plug is damaged, if the

oven is not functioning properly, or if it has been damaged

by a heavy impact or similar.

•  

Do not block or cover any vent holes or outlets on the oven.

•  

Do not use the microwave oven when it is empty. In order

for the microwave oven to absorb microwaves, there must

be something in it (food), or it may be damaged. If you

would like to practice using the various functions, place a

cup of water inside the oven.

•  

Do not use the microwave oven if the safety locking system

is not functioning, which means that the microwave oven

could be switched on even if the door is not closed. If the

door is open, you risk being exposed to microwave

radiation.

•  

Do not use the microwave oven if there are cleaning agent

residues inside it.

•  

Never heat oil or fat in the oven.

• 

Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance

when it is in use.

•  

Never try to repair the microwave oven yourself. 

•  

If the microwave oven, cord or plug need to be repaired, it

should be taken to an authorised service centre. If the

appliance is subjected to unauthorised repairs, the

guarantee will become void. Contact your retailer if the

repairs fall under the terms of the warranty. 

Fire hazard!

To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven space, please note

the following points:

•  

Do not cook food for too long or at too high a temperature,

and do not leave the microwave oven unattended if paper,

plastic or other flammable materials have been used in the

oven with a view to reducing cooking times.

•  

Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can

cause sparks in the oven and must therefore be removed.

•  

If materials in the oven catch fire, leave the door closed.

Switch the oven off immediately, and remove the plug from

the wall socket.

PREPARING THE MICROWAVE OVEN

Each individual microwave oven is checked at the factory, but for

safety’s sake, after unpacking the oven, you should check

carefully that the microwave oven has not been damaged during

transport. Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the

form of dents or similar), if the door closes properly, and if the

hinges are in order. If it appears that the microwave oven has

been damaged, you must contact the shop where you bought it,

and do not use it until it has been checked by an authorised

specialist. 

You should check before installation that you have removed all

packaging has been removed from the microwave oven both

inside and outside. 

Positioning the microwave

The microwave oven should be placed on a flat surface, with

clearance of at least 7-8 cm from the sides of the microwave

(including rear and top) to ensure sufficient ventilation. This

microwave oven is not suitable for fitting in, and you must check

that the vent holes on top of the cabinet are not covered. If they

are covered while the microwave oven is in use, there is a risk of

it overheating. The microwave oven cannot then be used until it

has cooled down.
