INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new appliance, please read
this user guide carefully before using it for the first time.
Take particular note of the safety precautions. We also
recommend that you keep the instructions for future
reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions
of your appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General
• Incorrect use of this appliance may cause personal
injury and damage to the appliance.
• Use for its intended purpose only, i.e. for the preparation
of food. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
injury or damage resulting from incorrect use or handling
(see also Guarantee Terms).
• For domestic use only. Not for outdoor or commercial
use.
• For connection to 230 V, 50 Hz only. The appliance must
be earthed.
• Do not place the appliance or the cord near hot areas,
for example gas rings and electric hotplates.
• Do not use the appliance in damp environments.
• Do not use if the safety locking system is not
functioning, which means that the appliance could be
switched on even if the door is not closed. If the door is
open, you risk being exposed to microwave radiation.
• Never prop the door open.
• On the right-hand side of the oven compartment there
is a mica plate (resembles cardboard); this must not be
removed.
• Do not use the appliance if the turntable ring and glass
tray are not installed.
• Do not use the appliance if there are cleaning agent
residues inside it.
• Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the
appliance when it is in use. Children must not be
allowed to use the appliance unless supervised by an
adult.
• Never insert anything into the ventilation slots or other
openings.
• When the light bulb inside the appliance needs to be
replaced, please contact the store where you bought
the appliance.
• The appliance is not to be used by persons with
reduced sensitivity, physical or mental disabilities or
persons who are unable to use the appliance, unless
supervised or instructed by a person responsible for
their safety.
Use
• Do not switch on when empty. To able to absorb
microwaves, there must be something in the appliance
(food) to avoid damage. If you would like to practice
using the various functions, place a cup of water inside
the oven.
• Always follow the instructions in the "Tips for food
preparation" and "Using utensils when preparing food"
sections.
• Never cook food directly on the glass turntable; always
use a suitable container.

Cord and plug
• Do not use the appliance if the cable or plug are
damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has
been damaged by a heavy impact or similar.
• If the appliance or plug is damaged, it must be
inspected and if necessary, repaired by an authorised
repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric
shock. Never try to repair the appliance yourself. Please
contact the store where you bought the appliance
for repairs under the guarantee. Unauthorised repairs
or modifications to the appliance will invalidate the
guarantee.
Fire hazard!
To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven
compartment, please note the following points:
• Do not cook food for too long or at too high a
temperature, and do not leave unattended if paper,
plastic or other flammable materials have been used
with a view to reducing cooking times.
• Metal clips and lids/film containing metallic threads can
cause sparks and must therefore be removed.
• Never store recipe books or other objects in the
appliance.
• Never heat oil or fat in the appliance.
• If materials in the appliance catch fire, leave the door
closed. Switch off immediately, and remove the plug
from the wall socket.

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

Each individual appliance is checked at the factory, but
for safety's sake, after unpacking it, you should check
carefully that it has not been damaged during transport.
• Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the
form of dents or similar), if the door (5) closes properly,
and if the hinges are in order.
