Safety instructions
Warning:
this oven must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug socket is
within easy reach of the power cord.
Warning:
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 understands the
hazards of improper use.
¾
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance, and the
appliance and cable should be kept completely out of reach of young children.
¾
This appliance is not designed for use by children, or persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, and should not be used by such persons unless they can
do so safely. Where necessary, such persons (or anyone with lack of experience or
knowledge) should first be given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Warning:
it is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.
Warning:
if the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has
been repaired by a competent person. The door seals are located around the window on the
inside of the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves can be released; it is
normal for small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven is in use.
Warning:
liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers, as they are liable to
explode.
¾
Do not operate the microwave if damaged or after it malfunctions. In the event the
supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service engineer, with a
suitably approved part.
¾
Keep the microwave, cable and plug dry, never immerse in water.
¾
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition
¾
Only use the oven for preparing food. For example do not use for drying clothes, paper
or any other non-food items, or for sterilising purposes.
¾
To avoid damaging the oven, do not use the oven when the cavity is empty. The oven
may be empty (used as a timer) with the power set to zero – see page 8.
¾
Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on.
¾
Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken
livers, ready meals and so on without piercing them several times with a fork.
¾
Eggs i n t h e i r sh el l and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
¾
Never cover the air vents or put any objects into the openings on the outer case.
¾
Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on.
¾
Only use utensils recommended in these instructions – see page 12.
¾
Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven.
¾
Heat from the contents of a container may be transmitted to the container itself, so
please be careful when removing it from the oven. Please remember that the food or
liquid inside will be releasing some steam or will be spitting. Never cover any container
fully, always leave a gap for steam to escape.
¾
Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This
is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. You
may need oven gloves to handle the utensil.
¾
In order to avoid burns, the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred
or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption.
