Important safety instructions
Use of your oven
1. Do not use the oven for any reason
other than the preparation of food. This
oven is specifically designed to heat or
cook food. Do not use this oven to heat
chemicals or other non-food products.
2. Before use, check that utensils/
containers are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
3. The microwave oven is intended for
heating food and beverages only. Take
care when heating foods low in moisture,
e.g. bread items, chocolate, biscuits
and pastries. These can easily burn,
dry out or catch fire if cooked too long.
We do not recommend heating foods
low in moisture such as popcorn or
poppodums. Drying of food, newspapers
or clothing and heating of warming pads,
slippers, sponges, damp cloth, wheat
bags, hot water bottles and similar may
lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
4. When the oven is not being used, do not
store any objects inside the oven in case
it is accidentally turned on.
5. The appliance must not be operated
by MICROWAVE or COMBINATION
WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN.
Operation in this manner may damage
the appliance. Exception to this is point 1
under heater operation.
6. If smoke is emitted or a fire occurs in the
oven, touch Stop/Cancel and leave the
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at fuse or circuit breaker panel.
7. During and after cooking with steam
function, do not open the oven door
when your face is very close to the oven.
Care must be taken when opening the
door as steam may cause injury.
„ Caution!
Steam may billow out when you
open the door. If there is steam in the
oven, do not reach in with your bare
hands! Risk of burns! Use oven gloves.
Heater operation
1. Before using CONVECTION, STEAM,
GRILL or COMBINATION function for
the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the
oven cavity and operate the oven without
food and accessories on CONVECTION
230 °C, for 10 minutes. This will allow
the oil that is used for rust protection to
be burned off. This is the only time the
oven is used empty.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air
vents on the cabinet and the oven
door will get hot during CONVECTION,
GRILLING, STEAM and COMBINATION
modes, take care when opening or
closing the door and when inserting or
removing food and accessories.
3. The oven has two grill heaters situated
in the top of the oven and a convection
heater situated in the back of the oven.
After using the CONVECTION, GRILL,
STEAM and COMBINATION functions,
the inside surfaces of the oven will be
very hot. Care should be taken to avoid
touching the heating elements inside the
oven.
„ Caution! Hot surfaces
After cooking by these modes,
the oven accessories will be very hot.
4. The accessible parts may become hot
in combination use. Young children
less than 8 years of age should be kept
away, and children should only use the
oven under adult supervision due to the
temperatures generated.
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven the fan motor may
rotate for a few minutes to cool the electric
components. This is normal and you can
take out food even though the fan motor
operates. You can continue using the oven
during this time.
