Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean
the oven as they may damage the finish or the protective enamel
coating. Such damages may lead to cracking of the glass.
Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean the
appliance as this may result in an electric shock.
The appliance is not intended to be controlled with external
timers or special control systems.
The appliance is intended for household
use. Do not use it for any other purpose,
such as room heating, drying of pets or
other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. as
this may lead to injury or fire hazard.
If the power cords of other appliances
located near this appliance are caught
in the oven door, they may be damaged,
which may in turn result in a short circuit.
Therefore, keep the power cords of other
appliances at a safe distance.
If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorized service technician, in order to
avoid hazard.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium
foil and do not place baking trays or other
cookware on the oven bottom. Aluminium
foil would prevent air circulation in the
oven, hinder the cooking process, and ruin
the enamel coating.
Oven door become very hot during
operation. A third glass is installed for extra
protection, reducing the temperature of the
outside surface (only with some models).
Oven door hinges may be damaged when
under excessive load. Do not place heavy
pans on open oven door and do not lean
against open oven door when cleaning the
oven cavity. Never stand on the open oven
door and do not let children to sit on it.
Appliance operation is safe with and

Heed the minimum distance between the
upper edge of the oven and the nearest
object above it.
The appliance is intended for use in
households and similar environments, such as:
- staff pantries in stores and other working
environments;
- family farms;
- accommodation units for guests at hotels,
motels, and other accommodation or lodging
establishments;
- bed and breakfast establishments.
The microwave oven is intended for heating
food and beverages. Drying food or clothing
and heating of hot packs or pads, slippers,
sponges, moist cloths etc. may result in injury,
ignition, or fire.
Only use utensils suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven as such
packaging may ignite.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling; therefore take care
when handling the container with the heated
beverage.
The contents of baby bottles and baby food
jars should be shaken or stirred and their
temperature checked before feeding in order
to avoid burns.
Eggs in their shell should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode
even after microwave heating has ended.
If you observe smoke, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the oven door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from
the oven. Some pots, pans, or trays absorb
the heat of foods and therefore become very
hot.
Safe use of the microwave oven
WARNING: If your oven allows combined operation (microwaves
combined with other cooking modes), do not allow the children
to use the oven without supervision of an adult person since the
oven will reach very high temperatures in such operation modes.
WARNING: If the door or door sealing is damaged, do not use
the oven until it is repaired by an adequately trained service
technician.
WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation which
involves removal of the cover that protects against exposure to
microwave radiation.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to explode.

Make sure to only use the cookware that
is suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Do not use cookware made of steel or
cookware with golden or sliver rims.
Do not leave any accessories or utensils in
your oven when it is off. To avoid damage,
do not switch on an empty oven.
Do not use receptacles made of porcelain,
ceramics, or clay, if there are pores in the
material
or if the inside is not glazed. Once heated
up, the moisture that would penetrate
these pores could cause cracking. Only
use the cookware intended for use in a
microwave oven.
Always read and observe the instructions
for heating in a microwave oven, specified
on the food packaging.
Be careful when heating alcohol-containing
food, as a combustible mixture of alcohol
and air may form inside the oven. Open the
door carefully.
When using the microwave or the
combined microwave and convection
functions, use of metallic cookware, forks,
spoons, knives or metal clips/fasteners for
frozen food is not recommended.
After heating, stir the food or leave it to
rest until the heat is evenly distributed.
Regularly clean the oven and remove
any food residues. Failure to maintain
cleanliness in the oven may result in
deterioration of its surfaces. This can
negatively affect the useful life of
the appliance and lead to potentially
dangerous situations.
473998
BEFORE CONNECTING THE OVEN:
Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the
appliance. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect
connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the
warranty.

14
When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules begin to move rapidly, thereby
generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 centimeters deep into the food. If the food
is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.

473998
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts, including any transport equipment, from
the oven. Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do
not use any abrasive cleaners.
Before using the oven for the first time, heat it with the upper and lower heater system
at 200 °C for approximately one hour. The characteristic "new appliance" scent will be
released; make sure the room is well ventilated.
MICROWAVE FUNCTION
Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting, and defrosting of food. They allow quick and
efficient cooking without changing the colour or shape of the food.
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation is commonly found in
our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Their frequency
is in the 2,450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
- They are reflected by metals.
- They travel through all other materials.
- They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven is empty.
