Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home.

Place the oven on a stable, even surface that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food utensils you put in it. The right side of the unit is the heavy side. Use care when handling.

Position the oven at a distance from other heating sources. The cooling air, which is taken in by the oven, must not exceed 35°C temperature. For sufficient ventilation, there must be a space of at least 15 cm above the oven. Ensure the microwave oven feet are in place and ensure the space underneath the oven is empty to allow for proper airflow. The oven can operate in an ambient temperature ranging from +5°C to+35°C.

This oven is not intended to be placed or used on a working surface lower than 850 mm above the floor.

For the best visibility of the display, place the oven such that the display is below or equal in height to your eyes when standing in front of it.

Do not remove the microwave inlet protection plates located on the side of the oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food particles from entering the microwave inlet channels.

Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Check that the oven door closes firmly against the door support and that the internal door seal is not damaged. Empty the oven and clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth.

Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged mains cord or plug if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces. Electrical shock, fire, or other hazards may result.

PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

This appliance is designed for domestic use only!
The appliance should not be operated without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance. If you practice operating the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged. Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.

Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the oven.

DEEP-FRYING

Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.

LIQUIDS

When heating beverages or water in your microwave oven, overheating of the liquid beyond the boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boilover of the hot liquid.

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.

CAREFUL

During use of the oven, utensils, and oven parts, may become hot. Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking.

Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details, especially, if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.

After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided. Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!
