Warning: this oven must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug socket is within easy reach of the power cord.

Warning: only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

¾Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance, and the appliance and cable should be kept completely out of reach of young children.

¾This appliance is not designed for use by children, or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, and should not be used by such persons unless they can do so safely. Where necessary, such persons (or anyone with lack of experience or knowledge) should first be given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning: it is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

Warning: if the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person. The door seals are located around the window on the inside of the door. These seals are not airtight, although no microwaves can be released; it is normal for small amounts of air or steam to escape when the oven is in use.

Warning: liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers, as they are liable to explode.

¾Do not operate the microwave if damaged or after it malfunctions. In the event the supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service engineer, with a suitably approved part.

¾Keep the microwave, cable and plug dry, never immerse in water.

¾When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition

¾Only use the oven for preparing food. For example do not use for drying clothes, paper or any other non-food items, or for sterilising purposes.

¾To avoid damaging the oven, do not use the oven when the cavity is empty. The oven may be empty (used as a timer) with the power set to zero – see page 8.

¾Do not use the oven when it is empty. This could damage the oven.

¾Do not store anything in the oven, such as papers, cookbooks and so on.

¾Do not cook any food surrounded by a membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken livers, ready meals and so on without piercing them several times with a fork.

¾Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

¾Never remove parts from the oven such as the feet, screws and so on.

¾Only use utensils recommended in these instructions – see page 12.

¾Do not try to deep-fry foods in this oven.

¾Heat from the contents of a container may be transmitted to the container itself, so please be careful when removing it from the oven. Please remember that the food or liquid inside will be releasing some steam or will be spitting. Never cover any container fully, always leave a gap for steam to escape.

¾Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. You may need oven gloves to handle the utensil.

¾In order to avoid burns, the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred
