Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils.
Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed
during microwave cooking.
Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable
plastic, paper or other combustible food containers.
The microwave oven is intended for heating food and
beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of
warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar
may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
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.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be
stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled
eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they
may explode even after microwave cooking has ended.
1.1 Care and cleaning
Door:
To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of
the door, the door seals and sealing surfaces with a soft,
damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they
can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.

ENGLISH
Oven interior:
For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp
cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still
warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe
several times with a damp cloth until all residues are
removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Make
sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small
vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.
Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. Heat
up your oven regularly by using the grill. Remaining food
or fat splashed can cause smoke or a bad smell.
Clean
the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and
turntable support after use. These must be dry and free
from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to
smoke or catch fire.
Oven exterior:
The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild
soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a
moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.
Control panel:
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control
panel. Care should be taken when cleaning the control
panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently
wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using
excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of
chemical or abrasive cleaner.
Turntable and turntable support:
Remove the turntable and turntable support from the
oven. Wash the turntable and turntable support in mild
soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and
the turntable support are dishwasher safe.
Rack:
This should be washed in a mild washing up liquid
solution and dried. The rack is dishwasher safe.
