WARNING: If the door or the door hinges are damaged, the oven should not be switched on
until repaired by a qualified technician.

explode.
WARNING: Children should only be allowed to use the oven without adult supervision if they
have been given the appropriate instructions so that they can use the oven safely and
understand the dangers of its incorrect use.
When heating food in plastic or paper recipients, check the oven frequently in case they ignite.
If any smoke is detected, then switch off the oven or disconnect it and keep the door closed in order
for any flame to die out.
After warming up baby bottles or baby food jars, stir or shake its contents and check the temperature
