Recommendation:
Carefully read these instructions before installing and operating this microwave oven.
Write down the serial number found on the rating label of the oven in the space below. It is essential
that you store this user's manual in a safe place so that you can use it in the future. If you intend to
sell the appliance, give it to another owner, or if you move, always make sure that the user's manual is
attached to the appliance, so that the new owner can nd out about the operation of the appliance
and the relevant warnings.
SERIAL NUMBER:
1. Under no circumstances should you start the microwave oven with the door open as you could expose
yourself to the eects of dangerous microwave energy radiation. It is important that you do not damage
or modify the safety locks on the microwave oven door.
2. Do not block the front part of the microwave oven and the door with any object and make sure that dirt or
remains of detergent do not accumulate on the oven seals.
3. Do not use the microwave oven if it is damaged. It is especially important that the door is properly shut
and also inspect the following for damage:
a. door (that it is not bent);
b. door hinges and locks (damaged or loose);
c. door seals and other seals.
The microwave oven may only be adjusted or repaired by an authorised service technician.

WARNING!
To limit the risk of a re hazard, electric shock, injury
or exposure to excessive amounts of microwave energy:
• Before using this appliance read all the instructions.
• Only use the appliance for the purposes for which it was designed
and in the manner described in this user's manual. This oven is
designed only to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory purposes. Do not use caustic chemicals
on this appliance.
• Do not attempt to use the microwave oven with the door open.
You could expose yourself to the eect of microwaves. Do not run
the microwave oven when it is empty.
• Do not use this oven if the power cord or power plug is damaged, if
it is not working correctly, if it is damaged or if it has been dropped
on the oor. Any repair of the microwave oven or replacement of
a damaged power cord may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre or another similarly qualied person, as this will
prevent causing a dangerous situation.
• WARNING: If the door or the door seal is damaged then the oven
must not be used until repaired by an authorised service centre
or qualied person.
• WARNING: It is dangerous for anybody other than an authorised
service centre or qualied person to carry out any repairs or
maintenance whatsoever that leads to the removal of any cover
providing protection from microwave energy radiation.

EN - 4
01/2015Copyright © 2015, Fast ČR, a. s.
• WARNING: The use of the oven by unsupervised children is only
permitted when sucient instructions were given, so that the
child is able to use the oven in a safe manner and understands
the danger resulting from incorrect use.
• To limit the risk of a re hazard inside the oven, use only kitchen
dishes suitable for use in microwave ovens. When heating meal
in plastic or paper dishes, regularly check the oven to prevent it
catching on re.
• If you notice smoke, turn o the appliance and disconnect the
power plug from the socket. Leave the oven door closed to
prevent potential re from spreading.
• If you are not using the oven do not leave paper materials, kitchen
dishes or food inside.
• WARNING: Liquids or other meals must not be heated in closed
containers, because they could explode.
• Heating of beverages in the microwave may cause a delayed
boil and so you should be careful when handling containers and
dishes.
• Do not fry food in the microwave oven. Hot oil may damage parts
of the oven, dishes or may also cause skin burns.
• Eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled eggs must not be
heated in the microwave oven because they could explode.
• Before cooking prick food with a thick peel, such as potatoes,
pumpkins, apples and chestnuts.
• The content of baby bottles and baby food needs to be mixed or
shaken before being served to the infant and the temperature
needs to be checked to prevent burns.
• Kitchen dishes may become hot as a result of the heat transferred
from the heated food. Sometimes it may be necessary to use
protective gloves.

EN - 5
01/2015Copyright © 2015, Fast ČR, a. s.
• IMPORTANT - kitchen dishes and utensils, which must not be
used in the microwave oven:
- metal pans and crockery with metal handles or with metal
decorations;
- clamps on plastic bags;
- dishes with melamine surface treatment;
- standard thermometers, which are used for measuring the
temperature of meat etc.
• The rear surface of appliance shall be placed against a wall.
• The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has
been tested in a cabinet.
• The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages.
Drying food or clothing and heating of warming pads,
slippers,sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of
injury, ignition or re.
Radio wave interference
The use of the oven may cause interference to a radio, television or similar receivers.
If interference occurs, it may be limited by the following measures:
1. keeping the door and the surface of the oven seals clean;
2. redirecting the radio or television signal reception antenna;
3. moving the microwave oven further away from the receiver;
4. connecting the microwave oven to a dierent power socket so that the microwave oven and the receiver
do not share the same circuit.
Grounding instructions
This microwave oven must be grounded. The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord, which has
a ground wire with a grounding power plug. The power plug must be connected to a mains socket outlet that
is correctly installed and grounded. This reduces the risk of injury by electric shock if a short circuit occurs – in
such a case the electric current goes through the earthing wire. We recommend that the microwave oven be
connected to an independent electrical circuit. The use of high voltage is dangerous and may lead to a re or
another accident that can damage the microwave oven.
WARNING!
An incorrectly grounded power socket may present a danger of electric shock.

EN - 6
01/2015Copyright © 2015, Fast ČR, a. s.

1. If you are uncertain about the grounding of your mains power socket, contact an authorised service
centre or a qualied electrician.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the vendor is responsible for damages to property and health if the
microwaveovenisconnectedincorrectlyandnotinaccordancewiththepresentedrecommendations.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since this can result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy. It is important not to break or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired
by a competent person.
