WARNING: It is dangerous for anyone, except a qualified technician, to tamper with the apparatus or

WARNING: Liquids and other food should not be heated in airtight recipients as these can explode.

WARNING: Children should only be allowed to use the oven without adult supervision if they have been

given the appropriate instructions so that they can use the oven safely and understand the dangers of

its incorrect use.

WARNING: When the microwave oven is operated in the Combination mode (microwaves + grill),

children should only be allowed to use the unit under adult supervision due to the high temperatures

generated.

WARNING: The microwave oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed (please

see the chapter on Oven Maintenance for details). 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.

When heating food in plastic or paper recipients, check the oven frequently in case they ignite.

If any smoke is detected, then switch off the oven or disconnect it and keep the door closed in order for

any flame to die out.

After warming up baby bottles or baby food jars, stir or shake its contents and check the temperature

before feeding, to avoid burns.

Warming up drinks in the microwave oven may result in a delayed eruptive boiling, therefore one should

be careful when handling the recipient.

Eggs with their shell and whole boiled eggs shouldn’t be warmed up in microwave ovens as they may

explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Do not use any metal utensils inside the

oven unless they were supplied with the oven and for that purpose.

Do not warm up liquids or other food in closed recipients as they may explode.

When in doubt, choose short periods to cook, heat or defrost food with microwaves. With long cooking

periods the food may become dry and even begin to burn.

Do not use the oven for anything other than warming, cooking or defrosting food.

Do not operate the oven without its tray nor when empty.

Keep the oven ventilation holes open. Never cover any air vents or openings.
