INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please read
through these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. Pay particular attention to the safety measures. We also
recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference,
so that you can remind yourself of the functions of the
microwave oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES
•
The microwave oven may only be used for its original
purpose, i.e. for preparing food for domestic purposes.
•
The microwave oven is for indoor use only.
•
Do not use the microwave oven if the cord or plug is
damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been
damaged by a heavy impact or similar.
•
Do not block or cover any vent holes or outlets on the
microwave oven.
•
Do not switch the microwave oven on when it is empty. In
order for the microwave oven to absorb microwaves, there
must be something in it (food), or it may be damaged. If you
would like to practise using the various functions, place a cup
of water inside the microwave oven.
•
Do not use the microwave oven if the safety locking system is
not functioning, which means that the microwave oven could
be switched on even if the door is not closed. If the door is
open, you risk being exposed to microwave radiation.
•
Do not use the microwave oven if there are cleaning agent
residues inside it.
•
Never heat oil or fat in the microwave oven.
•
Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance
when it is in use.
•
Never try to repair the microwave oven yourself.
•
If the microwave oven, cord or plug need to be repaired, it
should be taken to an authorised service centre. If the
appliance is subjected to unauthorised repairs, the guarantee
will become void. Contact your retailer if the repairs fall under
the terms of the guarantee.
Fire hazard!
To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven space, please note
the following points:
•
Do not cook food for too long or at too high a temperature,
and do not leave the microwave oven unattended if paper,
plastic or other flammable materials have been used in the
microwave oven with a view to reducing cooking times.
•
Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can
cause sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be
removed.
•
If materials in the microwave oven catch fire, leave the door
closed. Switch the microwave oven off immediately, and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
