Safety instructions
Microwave warning
Microwave heating of beverages may result in delayed eruptive boiling; always
use caution when handling the container. Always allow beverages to stand at least
20 seconds before handling. If necessary, stir during heating. Always stir after
heating.
In the event of scalding, follow these First Aid instructions:
1. Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
3. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
To avoid damaging the tray or rack, do not put the tray or rack in water shortly
after cooking.
Do not use the oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of hot oils.
Microwave oven precautions
Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers, gold or silver
trimmed dinnerware, skewers, etc.
Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur.
Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes.
Use shorter times for small amounts of food to prevent overheating or burning.
Keep the power cord and power plug away from water and heat sources.
To avoid the risk of explosion, do not heat eggs with shells or hard-boiled eggs.
Do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed containers, nuts, tomatoes, etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. This is a re hazard. The
oven may overheat and turn off automatically and will remain off until it cools
sufciently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand
at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting
scalded by escaping hot air or steam.
Do not operate the oven when it is empty. The oven will automatically shut down
for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water inside
the oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in case the oven is started
accidentally.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances in this manual. (See Installing
your microwave oven.)
Use caution when connecting other electrical appliances to sockets near the oven.

Clean the oven regularly to prevent impurities from building up on or inside the
oven. Also pay special attention to the door, door sealing, and turntable and roller
ring (applicable models only).
If the door won’t open or close smoothly, rst check if the door seals have built up
impurities. Use a soft cloth in soapy water to clean both the inner and outer sides
of the oven. Rinse and dry well.
To remove stubborn impurities with bad smells from inside the oven
1. With an empty oven, put a cup of diluted lemon juice on the centre of the
turntable.
2. Heat the oven for 10 minutes at max power.
