GB 3
microwave oven
Recommendations: Important safety instructions
Read carefully and keep for future reference.
•
Your apparatus is designed solely for household use - cooking, heating or defrosting
foodstuffs. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any other inappropriate use
of the oven.
•
Before you use your microwave oven, make sure that all the recipients and acces-
sories are suitable for use with it (e.g. flameproof glass, porcelain, etc.).
•
To avoid damaging your unit never turn it on when it is empty or the support plate
is not in place.
•
Do not touch the openings in the locks on the front; this may create damage to the
oven requiring outside repair.
•
Keep a close eye on the oven when products to be heated or cooked are in contai-
ners made of throwaway plastic, paper or any other combustible material. They may be
subject to spontaneous bur-ning.
•
We do not recommend using metal recipients, knives, forks or spoons or metal sta-
ples used on defrosting sachets.
However, it is possible to heat up food in covered aluminium trays provided they are
fairly shallow (no more than 4 cm high). They will take slightly longer to heat. Make sure
the tray is in the middle on the bottom and there is a gap of at least 1 cm between the
sides of the tray and the metal walls and the door.
•
For babies:
- Baby bottles must be heated without the teat, the liquid must be shaken and its
temperature checked with the back of the hand before being given to the child.
- Baby food must be mixed and its temperature checked before being given to the
child for avoiding any risks of possibly serious internal burning.
WARNING
: Do not let children use the oven unwatched unless they have received
appropriate ins-tructions and you are sure the child can use the oven correctly and
that he understands the dangers of not using the oven as it should be.
•
We recommend you to cover your food in most cases; it will be tastier and your unit
will remain clean. However, before cooking food or heating drinks in a bottle or any
hermetically closed container, remo-ve the cork or lid to avoid any risks of explosion.
•
Never heat or cook eggs in the microwave in their shells, a dish or on a plate. They
are liable to explode even after the cooking has finished and risk causing serious burns
and/or irreparable damage to your microwave oven.
•
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore
care must be taken when handling the container.
•
For small quantities (sausages, croissants, etc.) place a glass of water beside the
food.
•
Cooking times that are too long will dry out the food and burn it. To avoid this, never
use the same cooking times as you use for your traditional oven.
•
If you see any smoke coming out, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and
disconnect it.
•
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.
