Important safety warnings
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capacities, or lack of experience or knowledge provided
they receive supervision and have been given instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way. They must fully
understand the hazards involved and how best to avoid them.
•Children must not play with the appliance.
•Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children
without supervision.
•The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE
•Combustible items stored in the cooking compartment may
catch fire. Never store combustible items in the cooking
compartment.
•Never open the appliance door if there is smoke inside. Simply
switch o the appliance at the mains or switch o the circuit
breaker in the fuse box.
•When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye
on the appliance due to the possibility of ignition.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become during use. Children
must be kept away at all times.
WARNING: Do not harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers
to clean the microwave or oven door glass since they can scratch
the surfaces and result in shattering of the glass.

6
•Do not use a microwave power level or time setting that is
higher than necessary. Follow the information provided in this
instruction manual.
•Never use the microwave to dry food.
•Never defrost or heat food with low water content (e.g. bread)
at too high a microwave power level or for long.
•Do not use the microwave to heat cooking oil on its own as it
may combust.
WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION
•Liquids and other food may explode when in containers that
have been sealed or lidded. Never heat such foods or liquids.
•Only use utensils that are suitable for microwave ovens. If you
are unsure, contact the manufacturer of said utensil(s).
WARNING! RISK OF SERIOUS DAMAGE TO HEALTH
•The surface of the appliance may become damaged if it is not
cleaned properly. Microwave energy may escape. Clean the
appliance on a regular basis and remove any food residue
immediately. Take care not to burn yourself.
•Always keep the cooking compartment, door seal, door
and door stop clean (see Care and maintenance for more
information).
WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must
not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service, particularly that which involves

7
removal of covers that give protection against exposure to
microwave energy or hazardous parts.
Microwave energy will escape from appliances that do not have
any casing. NEVER REMOVE THE CASING. For any repair work,
contact CDA Customer Care (details on rear cover of this manual).
WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
•Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs, and the replacing
of damaged power leads, can only be carried out by trained
personnel.
•A defective appliance can cause electric shock or injury. In case
of any faults, switch o the appliance at the mains or switch
o the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact CDA Customer
Care.
•Never allow the mains lead of this or any other item/appliance
to come into contact with the appliance as it can become
very hot in use. This can lead to melting or failure of the lead
insulation.
•Never use high-pressure or steam cleaners. These can cause
electric shocks or damage to the appliance.
•Never attempt to change the bulb in the appliance. Contact
CDA Customer Care.
WARNING! RISK OF BURNS
•During use the appliance and accessories becomes very hot.
Care must be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside
the oven. Ensure proper protective gear is worn when handling
hot items.

8
•Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking
compartment. Never prepare food or beverages containing
large quantities of alcohol or small quantities of those with a
high alcohol content. Open the appliance door with care.
•Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during, or even
after, cooking. Never cook eggs in their shells nor reheat hard-
boiled eggs. Never cook shellfish or crustaceans. Always prick
the yoke when baking or poaching eggs. Foods with a skin or
peel such as apples, potatoes, tomatoes and sausages may
burst. Prick the peel or skin thoroughly before heating.
•The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must
be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before
consumption in order to avoid burns. Ideally you should ensure
that every serving/mouthful is at a safe temperature.
WARNING! RISK OF SCALDING
•When opening the appliance door, steam and hot air will
likely escape. Open the door with care and take any safety
precautions to avoid harm. Keep children at a safe distance at
all times.
•Microwaving beverages and liquids can result in delayed
eruptive boiling. This means that the liquid reaches boiling
temperature without the usual steam or bubbles rising to the
surface. If disturbed even slightly the liquid may erupt. Extreme
care must therefore be taken when handling such items.
NEVER COVER THE BASE OR WALLS OF THIS APPLIANCE WITH
ALUMINIUM FOIL.

Methods to help prevent damage to your appliance/kitchen:
•Avoid microwaving metal items.
•Never pour water into the cooking compartment. Wipe up any
spillages as soon as possible and do not let water or spillages flow
into the turntable spigot area.
•Do not store food of any kind within the appliance.
•Do not leave the appliance to cool with the door open. An open
door on a cooling appliance can damage adjacent units.
•Keep the door and door seal clean at all times.
•Never operate the microwave without food contents inside.
•Never use the appliance door for standing on, leaning on or as a
place to store objects (even oven trays temporarily).
•Never transport the appliance by the door handle.
•Keep the entire oven clean when and where possible. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to serious issues
such as combustion of old foodstus or spillages, deterioration of
the surfaces and could subsequently adversely aect health or the
life/functions of the appliance.
ENSURE THAT ANY SURROUNDING FURNITURE IS RESISTANT
TO TEMPERATURES OF AT LEAST +75°C ABOVE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE (ideally 105°C +). Insuciently resistant units can
be susceptible to peeling and/or discolouration.
