IF MATERIAL INSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD keep oven door closed and turn the oven off. Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. ONLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the appliance without adult supervision 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. Children should be supervised when using other heatsources (if available) separately or in combination with microwaves due to the high temperatures generated. THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. IGNITE OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, DO NOT OVER-COOK FOOD. Fire could result.

If these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained service technician. EGGS DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for cooking or reheating whole eggs with or without shell since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended. GB 3 PRECAUTIONS GENERAL THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY! THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance. THE VENTILATION OPENINGS on the oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results. IF YOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged. DO NOT STORE or use this appliance outdoors. DO NOT USE this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar. DO NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes. REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven. LIQUIDS E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden 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 container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container. 3. After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven. CAREFUL ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for details. Especially, if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol. 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 before heating! DEEP-FRYING DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away. 4 GB ACCESSORIES GENERAL THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable for microwave use. ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass through them before cooking. WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the interior of the oven. This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts. IF ACCESSORIES CONTAINING METAL comes in contact with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could be damaged. ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn freely before starting the oven. If the turntable isn't able to turn freely you should use a smaller vessel. LARGE VESSELS USE THE TURNTABLE STOP button when cooking with vessels that is so large that they can not turn freely in the oven. This function can only be used when cooking with microwaves only. The button will not work with other functions. TURNTABLE SUPPORT USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support. Fit the turntable support in the oven. GLASS TURNTABLE USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking methods.

FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties). THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily. SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of aluminum foil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips). GB CHECK AND INSPECT THE FOOD REGULARLY. Experience will give you the times needed for various amounts. TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrosting process. BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost better if stirred during defrosting time. WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to underthaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during standing time. STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed throughout the food. 9 JET DEFROST USE THIS FUNCTION for defrosting Meat, Poultry, Fish, Vegetables and Bread.

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, steelwool pads, gritty washcloths, etc. which can damage the control panel, and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use a cloth 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. AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially if spill overs have occurred, remove the turntable, the turntable support and wipe the base of the oven clean. THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turntable in place. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when the turntable has been removed for cleaning. USE A SOFT AND DAMP CLOTH with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of the door and the door opening. 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. ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, placing this on the turntable and boiling for a few minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven. DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIANCES when cleaning your microwave oven. THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since the intense heat will burn off any splashes, but the ceiling beneath it may need regular cleaning. This should be done with a soft and damp cloth with mild detergent. If the Grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any splashes, in order to reduce the risk of fire. 18 GB DISHWASHER SAFE: TURNTABLE SUPPORT. GLASS TURNTABLE.
