- in case of any malfunction.
 When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the
plug itself.
 Caution: The exterior surfaces of the appliance may become hot during operation.
There is also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots: Danger of
scalding.
 Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to get near to hot cooking plates or naked flames.
Do not let the power cord hang free and keep it away from any hot parts.
 If the unit is not kept properly clean, deterioration in the quality of its surfaces may be caused,
with possible subsequent shortening of its life-cycle, as well as potential risk to the user's safety.
 This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as
- in shops, offices and other similar working environments,
- in agricultural environments,
- by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar establishments,

 This appliance is a group 2 class B ISM device. Group 2 contains all ISM devices (industrial,
scientific, medical) generating radio frequency energy and/or using radio frequency energy in
the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also comprises spark erosion
devices. Class B specifies devices designed for domestic use, or any similar devices integrated in
the general power grid supplying domestic units.
The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2)
Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water
molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water
content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside
the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food
temperature.
Always use suitable kitchen utensils
 Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking
container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable.
 Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might
not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven could also cause sparks, resulting in
possible damage to the unit.
