Important User Instructions

Use of Your Oven
1. Do not use the oven for any
reason other than the preparation of
food. This oven is specifically designed
to heat or cook food. Do not use this
oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products.
2. When the oven is not being used,
do not store any objects inside the oven
in case it is accidentally turned on.
3. The appliance must not be operated by
microwave or combination without
food in the oven. Operation in this
manner may damage the appliance.
4. Before use, check that utensils/
containers are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
5. The microwave oven is intended for
heating food and beverages only.
Take care when heating foods low in
moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate,
biscuits and pastries. These can easily
burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked
too long. We do not recommend
heating foods low in moisture such as
popcorn or poppodums. Drying of food,
newspapers or clothing and heating of
warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth, wheat bags, hot water bottles and
similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition
or fire.
6. If smoke is emitted or a fire occurs in the
oven, press Stop/Cancel and leave the
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Heater Operation

1. Before using combination or grill
function for the first time operate the
oven without food and accessories
(including glass turntable and roller ring)
on grill 1 for 5 minutes. This will allow
the oil that is used for rust protection to
be burned off. This is the only time that
the oven is operated empty.
Caution! Hot surfaces
All inside surfaces of the oven will
be hot.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air
vents on the cabinet and the oven door
will get hot during grill and combination
modes, take care when opening or
closing the door and when inserting or
removing food and accessory.
3. The oven has two heaters situated in
the top of the oven cavity.
Caution!
After using the combination and grill
function these surfaces will be very
hot. Care should be taken to avoid
touching the heating elements inside
the oven.
4. The accessible parts may become hot
in grill and combination use. Young
children less than 8 years of age should
be kept away, and children should only
use the oven under adult supervision
due to the temperatures generated.
