The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable. Transport damage Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it has been damaged in transport. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a specialist trained by the manufacturer in order to prevent hazards. Please observe the special installation manual. Electrical connection Installing and connecting your microwave oven Safety information d This appliance is intended for domestic use only. Only use the microwave oven for preparing foodstuffs. 5 Adults and children must not operate the appliance without supervision - if they are physically, sensorially or mentally incapable of doing so - or if they lack the knowledge and experience required to operate the appliance correctly and safely. Children and the microwave d Children may only prepare meals with the solo microwave if they have been properly instructed. They must be able to operate the appliance correctly. They must understand the hazards indicated in the instruction manual. When children use the appliance, they must be supervised to prevent them from playing with it. In combined operation mode, children may only use the appliance if they are supervised by adults. There is a risk of burning. Open the oven door carefully. Hot steam may escape. Never touch the surfaces of heating and cooking appliances. Never touch the internal surfaces of the microwave oven or the heating elements. There is a risk of burning. Children must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance. Never place combustible items in the microwave oven. Risk of fire! Never open the microwave oven door if there is smoke inside. There is a risk of burning. Switch off the microwave oven. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the appliance by the fuse in the fuse box. Never trap cables of electrical appliances in the hot oven door. The cable insulation could melt. There is a risk of short circuiting. Hot oven d Damaged microwave oven door or door seal d Never use the microwave if the microwave oven door is open or if the door seal is damaged. Otherwise microwave energy may escape. Do not use the microwave again until it has been repaired. 6 Environment Inadequate cleaning d d Never expose the appliance to excessive heat or moisture. There is a risk of short circuiting.

Microwave energy could escape. Incorrect repairs are dangerous. There is a risk of electrocution! Repairs may only be carried out by after sales service technicians who have been fully trained by us. If the appliance is faulty, switch it off by the fuse in the fuse box or disconnect the appliance at the mains. Contact the after sales service. You must not open the casing. The oven is a high voltage appliance. Risk of electrocution! Repairs d Carriers of electronic implants d For carriers of electronic implants, e.g. cardiac pacemakers, insulin pumps: Caution: there are powerful magnets in the switch handles. They enable the switch handles to be lowered. Implants could be affected by magnetic fields. Do not therefore make direct contact with the appliance when setting or cleaning it.
