Important Safety Instructions
20. If smoke is observed, unplug the oven, or shut off power at the fuse
or circuit breaker, and keep the door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
21. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
22. Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use
in the microwave oven.
23. When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following
steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again
halfway through cooking time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring
again before carefully removing the container.
24. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be
heated in the microwave oven since they may explode, even after
microwave heating has ended.
25. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in
a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not
be made by children without supervision.
26. The appliance should not be cleaned with a water jet.
27. Electromagnetic fields can present a possible danger. We would
recommend that people using a heart pacemaker avoid proximity to
these fields.
