PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
The oven cannot be operated with the door open due to the safety
interlocks built in the door mechanism which switch off cooking
functions when the door is opened. Operating the oven with the door
open could result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to tamper with the door mechanism.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that
the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the door
(bent), or hinges and latches (broken or loosened), or the door seals
and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
qualified personnel.
Read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers keep an eye on the
oven due to the possibility of ignition. Do not use plastic or paper
containers when cooking in grill or combi mode.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS:
Microwave heating of liquids can result in delayed eruptive boiling;
therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to
avoid burns. Do not heat a baby feeding bottle with a lid or
a microwave oven, as the pressure will cause it 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.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
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.
Only use a temperature probe recommended for this oven.
Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating time.
