Dear customer,

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this high-quality product. Please read the instruction manual carefully so that you will be able to make the best possible use of the appliance.

THE MICROWAVE

A microwave is mainly used for quickly heating, preparing, and defrosting food like vegetables, meat, fish, and potatoes. In addition, it is suitable for preparing ready-to-eat meals or a glass or bottle of (baby)milk. Using the microwave function will accelerate the defrosting, preparing, and heating process.

How does a microwave work?

• The microwave works through electromagnetic microwaves, which are sent by a high-voltage system. These microwaves have a frequency of 2450MHz and are not ionizing. This means they do not damage
  the molecules. The microwaves turn the water within the food into heat. Besides water, also fat molecules within the food are effective in transforming radiation energy into heat.

• The microwaves are going directly through tableware, which allows the food to heat up quickly. Vitamins and natural flavors will be preserved.

• Because the microwaves remain within the device, the heating is in some parts more intense than in others. For this reason, the microwave is generally equipped with a glass turntable. Due to the rotating motion, the turntable enables the energy to be divided more equally

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

• It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover that gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

• Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understand the hazards of improper use.

• Only use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens.

• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any remaining food should be removed.

• Read and follow the specific: “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY”.

• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
