SEVERIN MW 9675 Instructions For Use Manual page 16

The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the container during the
heating process.
∙ Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since they may explode
even after the microwave heating process has fi nished.
∙ Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed containers in the
unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
∙ The contents of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or shaken to ensure
that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature
before feeding a child.
∙ When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or paper, there is a
danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time
is excessive. Fat or oil are also infl ammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during
operation. Highly volatile or infl ammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
∙ Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any fl ames. Switch the
unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
∙ To prevent burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food items from the oven, since the utensils
and cooking containers heat up not only during use of the grill or hot-air convection, but also during microwave operation.
∙ Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with microwave ovens.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check the unit and its power cord
carefully for any signs of damage.
∙ Caution: Ensure that the door, including the viewing window and door locks, are not damaged or bent and that it
closes fi rmly against the support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during
operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked.
Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until it has been repaired
by a qualifi ed technician.
∙ Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
∙ Do not remove the protective fi lm covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable/drive unit or the grey-brown protective cover
(1) next to the light on the right of the interior.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – such materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Before the appliance is used for the fi rst time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be thoroughly cleaned as described
in the section Cleaning.
∙ Insert the roller ring/drive unit and the glass turntable into the unit.
∙ Do not operate the appliance without the roller ring/drive unit and glass turntable properly fi tted.
∙ Before the microwave appliance is used for the fi rst time, let it heat up on the grill setting (without the microwave function activated)
for approximately 10 minutes. This will remove the smell typically encountered when fi rst switching on a grill. A little smoke may be
emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure there is suffi cient ventilation.
∙ This appliance is a group 2 class B ISM device. Group 2 contains all ISM devices (industrial, scientifi c, medical) generating radio
frequency energy and/or using radio frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also
comprises spark erosion devices. Class B specifi es devices designed for domestic use, or any similar devices integrated in the
general power grid supplying domestic units.
Note: Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed inside the oven. Operating the
appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.
