microwave oven
hints
• Your apparatus is designed solely for household use - cooking, heating or defrosting
foodstuffs. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any other inappropriate use
of the oven.
• Before you use your microwave oven, make sure that all the recipients and acces-
sories are suitable for use with it (e.g. flameproof glass, porcelain, etc.).
• To avoid damaging your unit never turn it on when it is empty or the support plate
is not in place.
• Do not touch the openings in the locks on the front; this may create damage to the
oven requiring outside repair.
• Keep a close eye on the oven when products to be heated or cooked are in contai-
ners made of throwaway plastic, paper or any other combustible material. They may be
subject to spontaneous bur-ning.
• We do not recommend using metal recipients, knives, forks or spoons or metal sta-
ples used on defrosting sachets.
• However, it is possible to heat up food in covered aluminium trays provided they are
fairly shallow (no more than 4 cm high). They will take slightly longer to heat. Make sure
the tray is in the middle on the bottom and there is a gap of at least 1 cm between the
sides of the tray and the metal walls and the door.
- For babies:
- Baby bottles must be heated without the teat, the liquid must be shaken and its tem-
perature checked with the back of the hand before being given to the child.
- Baby food must be mixed and its temperature checked before being given to the child
for avoiding any risks of possibly serious internal burning.
WARNING : Do not let children use the oven unwatched unless they have received
appropriate ins-tructions and you are sure the child can use the oven correctly and that
he understands the dangers of not using the oven as it should be.
• We recommend you to cover your food in most cases; it will be tastier and your unit
will remain clean. However, before cooking food or heating drinks in a bottle or any her-
metically closed container, remo-ve the cork or lid to avoid any risks of explosion.
• Heating or cooking eggs in their shells, poached or fried must be avoided. Eggs may
burst, cause serious burning and damage your oven irreparably.
• When heating liquids, they may reach boiling temperature without any bubbles
appearing on the surface. To avoid spilling and risks of burns, wait 20 seconds before
taking the container out of the oven or putting anything whatsoever in it to prevent
splashing.
• For small quantities (sausages, croissants, etc.) place a glass of water beside the
food.
• Cooking times that are too long will dry out the food and burn it. To avoid this, never
use the same cooking times as you use for your traditional oven.
• If you see any smoke coming out, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and
disconnect it.
