Safety information
The built-in safety interlock switches
prevent the microwave oven from
operating when the door is open.
Do not tamper with them, or attempt
to operate the oven with the door open
as open door operation can result in
exposure to microwave energy.
Do not allow food spills or cleaner
residue to accumulate on door sealing
surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care
section for cleaning instructions.
It is particularly important that the
oven door closes properly and that
there is no damage to the: (1) door
(warped), (2) hinges and latches
(broken or insecure), (3) door seals and
sealing surface.
Warning: If the door, hinges/latches
or door seals are damaged, the
microwave must not be operated
until it has been repaired by an
authorized service person.
Warning: It is hazardous for anyone
except factory trained service
personnel to service or make
adjustments to this oven. Contact
your nearest authorised service
agent if service should be required.
Do not remove the outer case, door or
control panel at any time. Doing so may
cause exposure to extremely high voltage.
Install or locate this oven only in
accordance with ‘installation instructions’
found in this manual.
Use the appliance for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use
corrosive chemicals in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically designed
to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use
neither for commercial use as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
Do not operate the oven empty. If food
or water is not present to absorb the
microwave energy, the magnetron tube
can be damaged.
Do not store this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near water.

The microwave oven shall not be
placed in a cabinet unless it has been
tested in a cabinet.
Warning: If smoke is observed,
switch off or unplug the appliance
and keep the door closed in order
to stifle any flames. Never use
water.
Warning: Only allow children or
infirm persons to use the
microwave, without supervision,
when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child or
infirm person is able to use the
microwave in a safe way and
understand the hazards of
improper use.
It is quite normal for steam to be
emitted around the door, or for misting
to occur on the door, or even for water
droplets to appear below the door
during the cooking cycle. This is merely
condensation from the heat of the food
and does not affect the safety of your
oven. The door is not intended to seal
the oven cavity completely.
Do not force the turntable to rotate by
hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
Arcing in the oven during microwave
operation usually occurs from use of
metallic utensils. Continuous arcing,
however, can damage the unit. Stop
the programme and check the utensil.
Care should be taken not to obstruct
any air vents located on the top, rear,
side and bottom of the oven.
Warning: Do not use this oven for
commercial purposes. This oven is
made for domestic use only.
Unpacking
When you unpack the oven, check that
the product is free from damage.
Damage or any missing parts must be
reported immediately to the retailer.
The oven, parts of the oven or the
accessories may be wrapped by a
protection foil. If so, you must remove
this foil before using the oven. Do not
leave packing material so that small
children can play with it. This can be
hazardous.
Utensil safety
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-
resistant glassware utensils are
excellent for use in the microwave oven.
Although microwave energy will not
heat most glass and ceramic items,
these utensils can become hot as heat
transfers from the food to the container.
The use of oven gloves to remove
dishes is recommended.
