10) Use utensils suitable for microwave ovens only. In order to avoid overheating and the consequent risk of
fire, it is advisable to check the oven when cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, card-
board or other inflammable materials, and when heating small quantities of food.
11) Never place the turntable in water after it has been heated for a long time. The resulting thermal shock
would break the turntable.
12) When cooking in "MICROWAVE ONLY" and "COMBI MICROWAVE" modes, you must NEVER preheat the
oven (without containing food). NEVER operate it when empty as sparks could be produced.
13) Before using the oven, make sure the utensils and containers chosen are suitable for microwave oven use
(see the section on "Ovenware") .
14) The appliance becomes hot when in operation. Never rest anything on top of the oven while in use. Never
touch the grill elements inside the oven.
15) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.), a delayed action may cause the contents to boil over unex-
pectedly with a risk of scalds. To avoid this, you should place a plastic spoon or a glass rod in the contai-
ner before starting to heat liquids. Always take extreme care when handling the container.
16) Do not heat spirits with a high alcohol content, or large quantities of oil. Both types of liquid are flamma-
ble!
17) The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns. You should stir or mix the food to guarantee an even tempe-
rature. When using commercial bottle sterilisers, ALWAYS make sure the container is filled with the quan-
tity of water specified by the manufacturer before starting heating.
18) Failure to clean the oven could lead to deterioration of the surface. This may shorten the working life of the
appliance and create risk situations.
19) Do not use abrasive cleaning products or metal scrapers to clean the glass door of the oven as this could
damage the surface and cause breakage.
20) All microwaves are tested and approved in accordance with current electromagnetic safety and compati-
bility regulations and standards. As a precautionary measure, pacemaker manufacturers recommend wea-
rers to keep a minimum distance of 20-30 cm between an operating microwave oven and the pacemaker
in order to avoid possible interference with the pacemaker. If you suspect there may be interference, turn
the microwave off immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker. If the oven overheats (pro-
longed use, use empty, etc), the safety thermostat could turn the oven off. After cooling down, the oven will
operate as normal.
22) The door and other oven surfaces may become very hot when the oven is in use.
23) This is an household appliance only. It is not intended to be used in: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices
and other working environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments; bed and breakfast type environments.
24) The appliance must not be operated by a timer or a separate remote control system.
25) The appliance must be placed and operated with the back next to the wall.
NB: When the oven is used for the first time, a "new" smell and a small amount of smoke may be produ-
ced for the first ten minutes or so. This is normal and due to the protective substances applied to the grill
element.
