IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid damage.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual, see Page 12. Doing so may damage the oven.

When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.

Use only the turntable designed for this oven.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is still hot from using the GRILL, CONVECTION, DUAL and AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST), because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be used during above modes unless the container manufacturer says they are suitable.

NOTE:

If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.

Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.

Whether reheating leftovers or cooking fresh ingredients, users can trust that the microwave will deliver perfectly cooked meals.

The control panel is another highlight, offering a user-friendly interface with intuitive options. The one-touch buttons simplify operation, allowing users to select frequently used settings effortlessly.
