•Never operate when empty, except as directed in the ‘Heating without food’ section on page 12.

•Do not leave or store anything inside the oven when not in use.

•Never attempt to use the oven with the door open. It is important not to force or tamper with the door safety latches.

•Never operate the oven with any object caught in the door.

•Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the door latches or air-vent openings as this may damage the oven and cause an electric shock.

•Never move the oven while it is operating.

•The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, turntable, dishes, accessories and especially the grill will become very hot during operation. Care should be taken to avoid touching these areas. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.
