PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• Farm houses;
• By clients in hotels, motels, and other residential environments;
• Bed and breakfast type environments.
  No other use is permitted (e.g.heating rooms).

NOTE:

• The appliance should not be operated without food in the microwave oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
• The ventilation openings on the microwave oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the microwave oven and poor cooking results.
• If you practice operating the microwave oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the microwave oven will not be damaged.
• Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar area.
• Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the microwave oven.
• Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
• Use hot pads or microwave oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, microwave oven parts, and pans after cooking.

LIQUIDS

E.g. beverages or water. Overheating the liquid beyond 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:

• Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
• Stir the liquid before placing the container in the microwave oven.
• After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the microwave oven.

CAREFUL

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 dis-tributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.

ACCESSORIES AND MAINTENANCE

ACCESSORIES

• There are several accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use.

• Ensure that the utensils you use are microwave ovenproof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking.

• When you put food and accessories in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the microwave oven.

• This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.

• If accessories containing metal come into contact with the microwave oven interior, while the microwave oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the microwave oven could be damaged.

• Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking.

• For better cooking performance, it is suggested that you need to put the accessories in the middle of the inner full flat cavity.

• WIRE RACK
  Use the Wire rack with Grill & Combi (Microwave+Grill) functions.

• GLASS TURNTABLE
  Use the Glass Turntable with all cooking methods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.

  • Place the Glass Turntable on the Turntable Support.

• TURNTABLE SUPPORT
  Use the Turntable Support under the Glass Turntable. Never put any other utensils on the Turntable Support.

  • Fit the Turntable Support in the oven.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

• Failure to maintain the microwave oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior microwave oven surfaces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
• Use a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening.
• Do not use steam cleaning appliances when cleaning your microwave oven.
• The microwave oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed.
• Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven being disconnected.
• Do not spray directly on the microwave oven.
• This microwave oven is designed to operate cooking cycles with a proper container in a fully flat cavity directly.
• Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the door.
• This product offers an AUTO CLEAN function, which allows for easy cleaning of the microwave cavity. For more details, please refer to the AUTO CLEAN section on page 22.
• The Grill element does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes.
• If the Grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any splashes, to reduce the risk of fire.
