IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE.
2. Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY”
on inside front cover.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS”
on page 5.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed glass jars—are able to
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as de-
scribed in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemi-
cals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is
not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest Bertazzoni Autho-
rized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not
use this product near water—for example, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool, or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. See door surface cleaning instructions on page 20.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to appli-
ance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
• If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the cavity when not in use.
17. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appear-
ing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the microwave oven is not
always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
• Do not overheat the liquid.
• Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
• After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or oth-
er utensil into the container.
18. If the oven is installed as a built-in, observe the follow-
ing instructions:
• Do not mount over a sink.
• Do not store anything directly on top of the appli-
ance surface when the appliance is in operation.
19. If the oven light fails, consult a Bertazzoni Authorized
Servicer.
