IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire.
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power
levels that are too high, or cooking times
that are too long, may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop only.
It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit. Do not
place the oven in a cabinet. The electrical outlet must
be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged
easily in an emergency. The AC power supply must be
230V, 50Hz, with a minimum 16A distribution line
fuse, or a minimum 16A distribution circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be
provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or
where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the oven and keep the door closed in order
to stifle any flames.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that
they are suitable for use in the oven. See
Page GB-17-18. Use only microwave safe
containers and utensils on microwave
modes.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity
and the turntable after use. These must be
dry and free from grease. Built-up grease
may overheat and begin to smoke or catch
fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings.
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food
and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may
cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the
oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the
oven is operating as desired.
To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken
when cooking or reheating foods with a high sugar or fat
content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies or Christmas
pudding.
