Safety Instructions

 Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic
drinks in the microwave. FIRE RISK!
 Beware!
 To avoid food overheating or burning it is very
important not to select long time periods or
power levels that are too high when heating
small quantities of food. For example, a bread
roll can burn after 3 minutes if the power
selected is too high.
 For toasting, use just the grilling function and
watch the oven all the time. It you use a
combined function to toast bread it will catch
fire in a very short time.
 Make sure you never catch the power cables of
other electrical appliances in the hot door or
the oven. The cable insulation may melt.
 Danger of short-circuiting!
 Take care when heating liquids!
 When liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, etc.) are
nearly at boiling point inside the oven and are
taken out suddenly, they may spurt out of their
containers.
 DANGER OF INJURIES AND BURNS!
 To avoid that type of situation when heating
liquids, put a teaspoon or glass rod inside the
container.
 Avoid damaging the oven or other dangerous
situations by following these instructions:
 Do not switch on the oven without the turntable
support, the turntable ring and the respective
plate being in place.
 Never switch on the microwave when it is
empty. If there is no food inside there may be
an electrical overcharge and the oven could be
damaged.
 RISK OF DAMAGE!
 For carrying out oven programming tests put a
glass of water inside the oven. The water will
absorb the microwaves and the oven will not be
damaged.
 Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings.
 Use only dishes suitable for microwaves. Before
using dishes and containers in the microwave,
check that these are suitable (see the section
on types of dishes).
 Never remove the mica cover on the ceiling of
the oven interior! This cover stops fat and
pieces of food damaging the microwave
generator.
 Do not keep any inflammable object inside the
oven as it may burn if the oven is switched on.
 Do not use the oven as a pantry.
 Do not use the oven for frying as it is
impossible to control the temperature of oil
heated by microwaves.
 Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. This
may damage the oven, especially in the hinge
zone. The door can bear a maximum weight of
8 kg.
 The turntable and the grills can bear a
maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging the
oven, do not exceed this load.
