Important Safety Instructions
31. Electromagnetic fields can present a possible danger. We would recommend
that people using a heart pacemaker avoid proximity to these fields.
32. When the oven is not in use, it is recommended that items are removed.
If left inside and the switch is accidentally activated, there is potential for
damage to occur.
33. During service and/or replacement of parts, the oven should be disconnected
from the power supply. Once the plug is removed, it should remain visible to the
service operator to avoid inadvertent reconnection.
34. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
35. Do not heat with oil from the leftover food or the food left in the accessories in
the oven cavity. Doing so may generate sparks and cause fire or smoking.
36. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly
result in a hazardous situation.
37. Do not use metalware, ceramics trimmed with gold or silver, or any container
with a metal content when cooking with the microwave. ONLY THE
PROVIDED WIRE RACK CAN BE USED.

42. It is essential reheated food is served "piping hot". Always check before serving
and if in doubt return food to oven for further heating.
All temperatures provided are for guidance only. Local legislation of food
temperature requirements should be applied, to ensure a safe temperature has
been reached before serving any food.
43. The standing time is essential for foods cooked or reheated by CONVECTION-
AND-MICROWAVE, or GRILL-AND-MICROWAVE. During the standing time,
heat will continue to conduct to the centre to cook the food completely.
The denser the food, the longer the standing time. Reheated foods also require
a standing time.
