Things to watch for
The appliance should only be connected by
a qualified fitter (see electrical
connection).
Disconnect the appliance before starting
with cleaning or repairs. Preferably by
taking the plug out of the socket or by
turning off the mains switch.
This appliance may only be used for the
purpose for which it was designed, namely
preparing food. Any other use must be
deemed unsuitable and hazardous. We
cannot accept any liability in the event of
damage due to incorrect, wrongful or
improper use of the appliance.
Your microwave oven is only safe if the
door shuts properly! Never place any
object between the door and the oven, and
always ensure that the door and the seal
are clean.
Do not use the oven if there is any damage
to the door (warped), lock, hinges (broken
or loose) or seal.
Use the oven only for defrosting and
preparing food, and never for drying
clothes or paper, for example, as these
may burst into flame.
If something catches fire in the oven, keep
the oven door closed, switch the
microwave off and remove the plug from
the socket.
Before you begin
Prepare for use

damage the oven.
Do not operate the oven without the glass
tray in place. Be sure it is properly fitted on
the rotating base.
The microwave oven is not suitable for:
