son.
Important safety instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons or expo-
sure to excessive microwave oven energy, when using your appli-
ance follow basic precautions, including the following:
• It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry
out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a
cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave en-
ergy.
• Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when ad-
equate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use
the oven in a safe way and understand the hazards of an improper
use.
• When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, chil-
dren should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the
temperatures generated (only for grill models).
• Only use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food residues
should be removed.
• Read and follow the specific: "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY".
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on
the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep
the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• Do not overcook food.

turer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
• Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this oven near water, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.

pliance is operating. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces, and do not cover any vents
on the oven.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to de-
terioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• 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.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the contain-

To reduce the risk of injuries
WARNINGS:
• ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. TOUCHING SOME OF
THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE SERI-
OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT DIS-
ASSEMBLE THIS APPLIANCE.
• ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. IMPROPER GROUND-
ING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT
PLUG INTO AN OUTLET UNTIL APPLIANCE IS PROP-
ERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED.
grounding
Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power sup-
ply.
• Clean the inside of the oven after using with a slightly damp cloth.
• Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
• The door frame and seal and neighboring parts must be cleaned
carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty.
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.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding in-
structions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use
an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord.
• If a long cord set or extension cord is used, then:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appli-
ance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.
3. The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by chil-
dren or tripped over unintentionally.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURIES HAZARD. IT IS HAZ-
ARDOUS FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN A COMPETENT
PERSON TO CARRY OUT ANY SERVICE OR REPAIR
OPERATION THAT INVOLVES THE REMOVAL OF A
COVER WHICH PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST EX-
POSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY.
Utensils
See the sections "Materials you can use in microwave oven" and
"Materials to be avoided in microwave oven". There may be certain
nonmetallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in
doubt, you can test the utensil in question following this procedure.
Utensil Test:

TV reception
Radio and TV reception may be interfered
when microwave oven operates. This is similar
to the interference caused by small electrical
appliances like mixers, vacuum cleaners and
electric fans. This is normal.
Dim oven light When cooking at low power levels, light may
become dim. This is normal.
