IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- The power cable must be long

enough for connecting the

Appliance, once tted in its

housing, to the main power

supply.

- For installation to comply with

current safety regulations, an

all-pole disconnect switch

with minimum contact gap of

3 mm must be used.

- Do not use multiple plug

adaptors if the oven is tted

with a plug.

- Do not use extension leads.

- Do not pull the power supply

cable.

- The electrical components

must not be accessible to the

user after installation.

- Do not touch the appliance

with any wet part of the body

and do not operate it when

barefoot.

- This appliance is designed

solely for use as a domestic

appliance for cooking food.

No other type of use is

permitted (e.g.: heating rooms

or outdoor use).

The Manufacturer declines all

responsibility for

inappropriate use or incorrect

setting of the controls.

- This appliance is intended to

be used built-in. Do not use it

freestanding.

- The appliance and its

accessible parts become hot

during use. Care should be

taken to avoid touching

heating elements.

- Very young (0-3 years) and

young children (3-8 years)

shall be kept away unless

continuously supervised.

- Children from 8 years and

above and persons with

reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities or lack of

experience and knowledge

can use this appliance only if

they are supervised or have

been given instructions on

safe appliance use and if they

understand the hazards

involved. Children shall not

play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user

maintenance shall not be

made by children without

supervision.

- During and after use, do not

touch the heating elements or

interior surfaces of the

appliance: risk of burns.

Do not allow the appliance to

come into contact with cloths

or other ammable materials

until all the components have

cooled down completely.

- At the end of cooking, exercise

caution when opening the

appliance door, letting the hot

air or steam exit gradually

before accessing the

appliance. Do not obstruct the

vent apertures.

- Use oven gloves to remove

pans and accessories, taking

care not to touch the heating

elements.

- Do not place ammable

materials in or near the

appliance: a re may break out

if the appliance is

inadvertently switched on.

- Do not use the microwave

oven for heating anything in

airtight sealed containers.

The pressure increases and

may cause damage when

opening or may explode.

- Do not use the microwave

oven for drying textiles, paper,

spices, herbs, wood, owers,

fruit or other combustible

materials. Fire could result.

- Do not leave the appliance

unattended, especially when

using paper, plastic or other

combustible materials in the

cooking process. Paper can

char or burn and some plastics

can melt if used when heating

foods.

- Use containers suitable for use

in a microwave oven only.

- Overheating the liquid

beyond boiling point can

occur without evidence of

bubbling. This could result in a

sudden boil over of the hot

liquid.

- Do not use microwave oven

for deep-frying, because the

oil temperature cannot be

controlled.

- After heating baby food or

liquids in a baby bottle or in a

baby food jar, always stir and

check the temperature before

serving. Ensure the lid and the

teat is removed before

heating.

- If alcoholic beverages are

used when cooking foods

(e.g. rum, cognac, wine),

remember that alcohol

evaporates at high

temperatures. As a result,

there is a risk that vapors

released by the alcohol may

catch re upon coming into

contact with the electrical

heating element.

- Do not use microwave oven

for cooking or reheating

whole eggs with or without

shell since they may explode

even after microwave heating

has ended.

- If material inside/outside the

appliance should ignite or

smoke is observed, keep

appliance door closed and

turn the appliance o.

Disconnect the power cord or

shut o power at the fuse or

circuit breaker panel.

- Do not over-cook food. Fire

could result.

- Cleaning is the only

maintenance normally

required. Failure to maintain

the appliance in a clean

condition could lead to

deterioration of the surface

that could adversely aect the

life of the appliance and

possibly result in a hazardous

situation.

- Never use steam cleaning

equipment.

- Do not use harsh abrasive

cleaners or sharp metal

scrapers to clean the

appliance door glass since

they can scratch the surface,

which may result in shattering

of the glass.

To prevent this possibility the following steps

should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers

with narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the

container in the oven and let the

teaspoon remain in the container.

3. After heating, allow standing for a short

time, stirring again before carefully

removing the container from the oven.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL
