MICRO AVE ENERGY
ARNING
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beve ages in you mic owave oven, delayed e uptive boiling can
occu without evidence of bubbling. This could esult in a sudden boil ove of the hot liquid. To p event this
possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using st aight-sided containe s with na ow necks.
2. Do not ove heat.
3. Sti the liquid befo e placing the containe in the oven and again halfway th ough the
heating time.
4. Afte heating, allow to stand in the oven fo a sho t time. Sti o shake the contents (especially feeding
bottles and baby foods) and ca efully check the tempe atu e befo e use.
1. Remove all packing mate ials and accesso ies.
2. Place the oven on a level su face a minimum of 85cm above the floo with at least 30cm above and 10cm ea
space to allow adequate ventilation. The side of the oven should be kept clea so the e is ai flow fo ventilation.
The f ont of the oven should be at least 8cm f om the edge of the su face to p event tipping.
An exhaust outlet is located on top o side of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven.
3. Plug you oven into a standa d voltage household outlet. Ensu e that the elect ical ci cuit is at least 10 amps

stments or repairs to the door, control panel, safety
interlock switches or any other part of the oven.It is
hazardous for anyone to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of any
cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy. Repairs should only be undert-
aken by a qualified service technician.
2 Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to
leave a glass of water in the oven when not in use.
The water will safely absorb all microwave energy,
if the oven is accidentally started.
