INTRODUCTION

To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please
read through these instructions carefully before using
it for the fi rst time. Take particular note of the safety
precautions. 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 PRECAUTIONS

• 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 on the
microwave oven.
• Do not switch the microwave oven on when it is
empty. In order for the microwave oven to be able
to absorb microwaves, there must be something in
it (food), otherwise 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.
UK
• Do not use the microwave oven if it contains cleaning
agent residues.
• 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 needs to be
repaired, it should be taken to an authorised service
centre. Unauthorised repairs or modifi cations will
invalidate the guarantee. Please contact the store
where you bought the device for repairs under
guarantee.

Fire hazard!

To reduce the risk of fi re occurring in the oven
compartment, 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 fl ammable
materials have been used in the microwave oven
with a view to reducing cooking times.
• Metal clips and lids/fi lm containing metallic threads
can cause sparks in the microwave oven and must
therefore be removed.
• If materials in the microwave oven catch fi re, leave
the door closed. Switch the microwave oven off
immediately, and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
