INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please read through these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular note of the safety precautions. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of the microwave oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General
•The microwave oven may only be used for its original purpose, i.e. for preparing food for domestic purposes.
•The microwave oven is for indoor use only.
•Always follow the instructions in the "Tips for food preparation" and "Using utensils when preparing food" sections.
•Do not switch the microwave oven on when it is empty. In order for the microwave oven to be able to absorb microwaves, there must be something in it (food), otherwise it may be damaged. If you would like to practise using the various functions, place a cup of water inside the microwave oven.
•Do not use the microwave oven if the turntable ring and glass tray are not installed.
•On the right-hand side of the oven compartment there is a mica plate (resembles cardboard); this must not be removed.
•Do not use the microwave oven if the safety locking system is not functioning, which means that the microwave oven could be switched on even if the door is not closed. If the door is open, you risk being exposed to microwave radiation.
•Do not use the microwave oven if there are cleaning agent residues inside it.
•Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance when it is in use. Children must not be allowed to use the microwave oven unless supervised by an adult.
•Never try to repair the microwave oven yourself.
•When the light bulb inside the microwave oven needs replacing, please contact the dealer.
•If the microwave oven, cord or plug needs to be repaired, it should be taken to an authorised service centre. Unauthorised repairs or modifications to the appliance will invalidate the guarantee. Please contact the store where you bought the device for repairs under guarantee.
Positioning the microwave
•Do not block or cover any vent holes on the microwave oven.
•Do not place the microwave oven or the cord near hot areas, for example gas rings and electric hotplates.
•Do not remove the feet of the microwave oven.
•This oven is designed to be freestanding. Always ensure the vent holes on top of the cabinet are not covered. If they are covered while the microwave oven is in use, there is a risk of it overheating. The microwave oven cannot then be used until it has cooled down.
Using the microwave oven
•Do not use the microwave oven if the cord or plug is damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been damaged by a heavy impact or similar.
•When using combination cooking the microwave oven can get very hot.
•Never prepare food directly on the glass tray; always use a suitable container.
Fire hazard!
To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven compartment, please note the following points:
•Do not cook food for too long or at too high a temperature, and do not leave the microwave oven unattended if paper, plastic or other flammable materials have been used in the microwave oven with a view to reducing cooking times.
•Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can cause sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be removed.
•Never heat oil or fat in the microwave oven.
•If materials in the microwave oven catch fire, leave the door closed. Switch the microwave oven off immediately, and remove the plug from the wall socket.

PREPARING THE MICROWAVE OVEN
Each individual microwave oven is checked at the factory, but for safety’s sake, after unpacking the oven, you should check carefully that the microwave oven has not been damaged during transport. Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the form of dents or similar), that the oven door closes properly, and that the hinges are in order. If it appears that the microwave oven has been damaged, you must contact the shop where you bought it, and do not use it until it has been checked by an authorised specialist.
Before using the microwave oven, you should check that you have removed all packaging from it both inside and outside.
