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 microwave oven if the cord or plug is

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

damaged by a heavy impact or similar.

•

Do not block or cover any vent holes on the microwave

oven.

•

Do not switch the microwave oven on 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 practise using the various functions, place a

cup of water inside the microwave 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 microwave 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 needs 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 guarantee. 

Fire hazard!

To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven compartment,

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

microwave oven with a view to reducing cooking times.

•

Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can

cause sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be

removed.

•

If materials in the microwave oven catch fire, leave the door

closed. Switch the microwave oven off immediately, and

remove the plug from the wall socket.
