Disposal of the packaging
The packaging bears the Green Point mark.
Dispose of all the packaging materials such as
cardboard, expanded polystyrene and plastic
wrapping in the appropriate bins. In this way
you can be sure that the packaging materials
will be re-used.
Disposal of equipment no longer used
According to European Directive 2002/96/EC
on the management of waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE), home electrical
appliances should not be put into the normal
systems for disposal of solid urban waste.
Outdated appliances should be collected
separately to optimise component material
recovery and re-cycling rates and to prevent
potential harm to human health and the
environment. The symbol of a rubbish
container superimposed by a diagonal cross
should be put on all such products to remind
people of their obligation to have such items
collected separately.
Consumers should contact their local
authorities or point of sale and request
information on the appropriate places to leave
their old home electrical appliances.
Before disposing of your appliance, render it
non-usable by pulling out the power cable,
cutting this and disposing of it.

must make sure you can access the plug.
After installation
The oven is equipped with a power cable and a
plug for single phase current.
If the oven is to be installed on a permanent
basis it should be installed by a qualified
technician. In such a case, the oven should be
connected to a circuit with an all-pole circuit
breaker with a minimum separation of 3 mm
between contacts.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Warning! IMPROPER USE OF THE
GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Consult a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded, and do not use an
extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.

cavity:
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance when paper, plastic, or other
combstible materials are olaced inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils, or food in the cavity

Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be
boiling.
Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL INTO
THE LIQUID.
To avoid that type of situation when
heating liquids, put a teaspoon or glass
rod inside the container.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

ENERGY
Do not attempt to operate this oven with
the door open since open –door
operation can result in harmful exposure
to microwave energy. It is important not
to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
Do not place any object between the
oven front face and the door or allow soil
or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven

Microwave safety
Warning! Never leave the oven
unwatched, especially when using paper,
plastic or other combustible materials.
These materials can char and may fire.
FIRE RISK!
Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE
RISK!
Warning! Do not heat liquids or other
foods in closed containers since these
may explode readily.
Warning! This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Warning! If the oven has a combined
function mode (microwave with other
means of heating), children should not be
allowed to use the oven without adult
supervision on account of the high
temperatures generated.
Warning! The oven cannot be used if:
- The door is not closed correctly;
- The door hinges are damaged;
- The surfaces of the contact between the
door and the oven front are damaged;
- The door window glass is damaged;
- There is frequent electrical arcing inside
the oven even though there is no metal
object inside.
The oven can only be used again after
it has been repaired by a Technical
Assistance Service technician.
Beware!
Never heat baby foods or drinks in
bottles or jars with the teats or lids on
them. After heating the food mix or
shake well so that the heat is spread
evenly. Check the food temperature
before feeding this to the child.
DANGER OF BURNING!
To avoid food overheating or burning it is
very important not to select long time
periods or power levels that are too high
when heating small quantities of food.
For example, a bread roll can burn after
3 minutes if the power selected is too
high.
For toasting, use just the grilling function
and watch the oven all the time. It you
use a combined function to toast bread it
will catch fire in a very short time.
Make sure you never catch the power
cables of other electrical appliances in
the hot door or the oven. The cable
insulation may melt. Danger of short-
circuiting!
Take care when heating liquids!
When liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, etc.) are
nearly at boiling point inside the oven and are
taken out suddenly, they may spurt out of their
containers. DANGER OF INJURIES AND
BURNS!
