F.Bertazzoni KOTR30MXE, Use & Care Manual

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precau-

tions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, 

fire,  injury  to  persons  or  exposure  to  excessive  micro-

wave energy:

1.  Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2.  Read  and  follow  the  specific  “PRECAUTIONS  TO 

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE 

MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 2.

3.  This appliance must be grounded. Connect only 

to  properly  grounded  outlet.  See  “GROUNDING 

INSTRUCTIONS” on page 7.

4.  Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with 

the provided installation instructions.

5.  Some products such as whole eggs and sealed 

containers–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 described 

in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals 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 Authorized Servicer 

for examination, repair or adjustment.

10.  Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store 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.  When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come 

together upon closing the door, use only mild, non-

abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or 

soft cloth.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the microwave oven cavity:

a.  Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to appliance 

when paper, plastic or other combustible materials 

are placed inside the microwave oven to facilitate 

cooking.

b.  Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags 

before placing bag in microwave oven.

c. 

If materials inside the microwave oven should 

ignite, keep microwave oven door closed, turn 

microwave oven off and disconnect the power 

cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit 

breaker panel.

d.  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 appearing 

to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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:

a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through 

heating it.

c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow 

necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the 

microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before 

removing the container.

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other 

utensil into the container.

18. Do not use this microwave oven to heat corrosive 

chemicals (for example, sulfides and chlorides). 

Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact 

with the contact and springs of the safety interlock 

switches thereby rendering them inoperable.

19.  Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot 

control the temperature and doing so may lead to 

overheating and fire.

20.  Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in 

place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating 

base.

21.  Use care when cleaning the vent hood filters. 

Corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven 

cleaners may damage the filters.

22. Clean the ventilating hood frequently. Do not allow 

grease to accumulate on the hood or the filters.

23.  Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking 

equipment up to 30 inches wide.

24.  Do not use this oven for commercial purposes. It is 

designed for household use only.

25.  When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. 

Keep the area under the hood properly ventilated at 

all times. Turn off cooking equipment if you see flames 

or a fire occurs.
