∙ 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, with a consequent risk of scalding.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or come into
contact with any heat sources. 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. Any food residue should therefore be removed right away.
For detailed information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section
Cleaning.
∙ This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as the
- staff kitchens in shops, offices and other similar working environments,
- agricultural working environments,
- by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar accommodation,
- in bed-and breakfast type environments.
∙ Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave
radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This
includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit
must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please
send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can
be found in the appendix to this manual.
∙ When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond
boiling-point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to
exercise extreme caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them
from the oven.
The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod
in the container during the heating process.
∙ Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a
microwave oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating
process has finished.
∙ Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food
items in closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
