the child not only to operate the microwave oven in a safe manner, but also to
understand the dangers resulting from improper use or non-compliance with the
instructions.
● Warning because of the high temperatures that occur during operation in the
combination functions, children must not use the appliance unless they are properly
supervised by an adult.
● Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket:
- before cleaning,
- in case of any malfunction.
● Caution: The exterior surfaces of the appliance may become hot during
operation. There is also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation
slots, with a consequent risk of scalding.
● Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or come into contact
with any heat sources. Do not let the power cord hang free, and keep it away from any
hot parts.
● If the unit is not kept properly clean, deterioration in the quality of its surfaces may be
caused, with possible subsequent shortening of its life-cycle, as well as potential risk to
the user's safety.
● This microwave oven is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial
applications. (Class B in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2)
● Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave
radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This
includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit
must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please send the
appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the
appendix to this manual.
The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2)
Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food
(mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot.
Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat
is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up
only indirectly as a result of the food temperature.
Always use suitable kitchen utensils
● Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or
cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the
glass turntable.
● Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and
might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven might also cause sparks,
resulting in possible damage to the unit.
● As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven.
Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and
are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances.
● Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the food is
tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum
distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven.
