N.B. This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the
home. It must never be used for other purposes,
modified or tampered with in any way.
1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must
not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person
(trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).
2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which
gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to explode. Eggs in their shell and whole
hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they
may explode even after microwave heating has ended.
4) WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision
when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to
use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. Do
not allow children near the oven when it is in operation, as this may result in
severe burns.
5) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the
safety devices.
6) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the front panel of the oven and
the door. Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive
detergents. Do not allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate between the front panel of the
oven on the door.

because you might cause sparking.
