warning

DO NOT disassemble this appliance, as touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death.

warning

Improper use of the earthing can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until microwave oven is properly installed and earthed.

tips and information

If the oven fails to operate:

1Check to ensure that the appliance is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.

2Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating correctly, test the outlet with another appliance.

3Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.

4Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE MICROWAVE OVEN YOURSELF.

Power cord and plug

A short power cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:

1The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the oven.

2The extension cord must be an earthing-type 3-wire cord.

3The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This oven is equipped with a power cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly earthed.

Food safety

•Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven as it can explode. Always remove the food to a suitable container.

•Deep fat frying should not be heated in the microwave oven, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result.

•Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,

but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended.

•Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes such as apples, potatoes, chicken liver and egg yolk to prevent steam build-up and bursting.

warning

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

warning

When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

1Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

2 Do not overheat.

3 Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

4 After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

warning

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers

–for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.

The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
