IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power
levels that are too high or cooking times
that are too long may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with
a minimum 16 A distribution line fuse, or a
minimum 16 A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to smoke,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and
unplug the oven and wait until the food
has stopped smoking. Opening the door
while food is smoking may cause a fire.
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page 22 - 23.
Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity, the turntable and roller stay after
use. These must be dry and free from
grease. Built-up grease may overheat
and begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation
openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from
food and food packages. Arcing on metallic
surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and
the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in this operation manual
and the cookery book section.
