Positioning the appliance
•
Avoid blocking the ventilation slots on
the top, sides and back.
•
Do not remove the feet.
•
This appliance is designed to be
freestanding. Always ensure the vent
holes on top and back of the cabinet
are not covered. If they are covered
while the appliance is in use, there
is a risk of overheating. Do not then
use the appliance until it has cooled
down.
•
The appliance must stand on a flat
surface capable of bearing its weight.
There must be clearance of at least
20 cm from the sides of the micro-
wave and 30 cm above to ensure
sufficient ventilation.
Important safety measures when pre-
paring food!
•
If using the appliance to heat baby
food or liquids in a feeding bottle, you
must always stir the food/liquid and
check the temperature thoroughly
before serving. This ensures that the
heat is evenly distributed and avoids
scalding injuries. The lid and/or teat
must NOT be fitted on feeding bottles
when placed in the appliance.
•
If some foods are heated too long,
they may char and give off smoke. If
this happens, you should leave the
oven door closed and switch off the
appliance completely.
•
Some foods with low water content,
e.g. chocolate in squares and pastries
with a sweet filling, should be heated
carefully. If not, they or the container
may be ruined.
