IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
DO NOT HEAT, OR USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS in or
near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion.
ONLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the appliance under
adult supervision and after adequate instructions
have been given, so that the child is able to use
the appliance in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, unless used under
the supervision of a person responsible for their
safety.
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for drying tex-
tiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers, fruit
or other combustible materials. Fire could re-
sult.
IF MATERIAL INSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD IGNITE
OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, keep oven door closed and
turn the oven off. Disconnect the power cord
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit break-
er panel.
WARNING!
ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT during use, young
children should be kept away.
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for
heating anything in airtight sealed
containers. The pressure increas-
es and may cause damage when
opening or may explode.
DO NOT OVER-COOK FOOD. Fire could result.
DO NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED, especially
when using paper, plastic or other combusti-
ble materials in the cooking process. Paper can
char or burn and some plastics can melt if used
when heating foods.
THE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must be reg-
ularly inspected for damage. If these areas are
damaged the appliance should not be operat-
ed until it has been repaired by a trained service
technician.
DO NOT USE corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically de-
signed to heat or cook food. It is not designed
for industrial or laboratory use.
EGGS
SERVICE ONLY TO BE CARRIED OUT BY A
TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. It is haz-
ardous for anyone other than a
trained person to carry out any ser-
vice or repair operation, which in-
volves the removal of any cover, which
gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for cooking or
reheating whole eggs with or with- out
shell since they may explode even
after microwave heating has
ended.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY COVER.

without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden

in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the contain-
er in the oven and let the teaspoon re-
main in the container.
IF YOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass
of water inside. The water will absorb the mi-
crowave energy and the oven will not be dam-
aged.
DO NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re-
moving the container from the oven.
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.
CAREFUL
DEEP-FRYING
ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de-
tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for
deep-frying, because the oil
temperature cannot be con-
trolled.
AFTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a
baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be-
fore heating!
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and
pan after cooking.

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
GLASS TURNTABLE
USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking meth-

table as support when us-
ing the Crisp-plate.
DO NOT PLACE ANY UTENSILS on the
Crisp-plate since it will quickly be-
come very hot and is likely to cause
damage to the utensil.
ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn
freely before starting the oven.
THE CRISP-PLATE may be preheated before use
(max. 3 min..). Always use the Crisp function
when preheating the crisp-plate.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired.
THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since
the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but
the cavity ceiling below it may need regular
cleaning. This should be done with warm wa-
ter, detergent and a sponge. If the Grill is not
used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes
a month to burn off any splashes.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS,
ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-
wool pads, gritty wash-
cloths, etc. which can
DISHWASHER SAFE:
damage the control pan-
el, and the interior and exterior oven sur-
faces. Use a sponge with a mild detergent
or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT.
GLASS TURNTABLE.
AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially if spill
overs have occurred, remove the
turntable, the turntable support
and wipe the base of the oven
clean.
CRISP HANDLE.
THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turnta-
ble in place.
CAREFUL CLEANING:
THE CRISP-PLATE should be cleaned
in mild, detergent water.
Heavily soiled areas can
be cleaned with a scouring
sponge and a mild cleanser.
ALWAYS let the crisp-plate cool off before clean-
ing.
DO NOT operate the microwave oven
when the turntable has been removed
for cleaning.
USE A MILD DETERGENT, water and a soft cloth to
clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the
door and the door opening.
DO NOT immerse or rinse with water while
the crisp-plate is hot. Quick cooling may
damage it.
DO NOT USE STEEL-WOOL PADS. This will
scratch the surface.
DO NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to
build up around the door.
FOR STUBBORN STAINS, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
marks.
DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIANCES when
cleaning your microwave oven.
ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, plac-
ing this on the turntable and boiling for a few
minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.
