Things you
When you unpack your microwave oven from its box, please check it immediately for
damage. If the door is damaged or bent, if there are dents inside the oven etc., get in
touch with your retail outlet immediately.
◆ Never use the microwave oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the door closes properly.
The door should not be distorted, the hinges and latch should not
be broken, bent or loose, and the seals must be in perfect condition.
◆ This microwave oven contains no user-serviceable components. Any
adjustments or repairs must be performed by a qualified technician.
◆ Never use the oven with the door open. There is the risk of being
exposed to dangerous microwave energy. Never manipulate or
tamper with the safety locks and the hinges of the door.
◆ Keep the seals and seal surfaces clean and free of contamination
like food remains and cleaner residue.
◆ Use the microwave oven for cooking purposes only.
Do not use it to dry animals, clothing, paper or other objects or for
sterilisation or as a storage space for books, cooking utensils etc.
◆ The microwave oven should stand on a flat, stable surface. This
appliance is designed for standing only.
◆ The area immediately around the oven should be free to allow the
circulation of fresh air for cooling.
◆ Do not place the microwave oven near a radio or television set etc.
This might cause interference.
◆ Never place the oven where it is exposed to hot-air, steam or
humidity.
◆ The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface
of the oven is 100mm.
◆ The oven requires a mains electrical connection of 230 V~ / 50 Hz
with a 12 Amp. fuse.
◆ Only insert the plug into properly installed electrical sockets. If in
doubt contact an electrician.
◆ Faulty connections can start fires and create other risks and prevent
the oven from working correctly. DAEWOO is not liable for any
damage due to faulty connection.
◆ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING
When heating liquids, e.g.
soups, sauces and beverages in
your microwave oven,
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:
◆ Avoid using straight sided
containers with narrow
necks.
◆ Do not overheat.
◆ Stir the liquid before placing
the container in the oven
and again halfway through
the heating time.
◆ After heating, allow to stand
in the oven for a short time,
stir or shake them again
carefully and check the
temperature of them before
consumption to avoid burns
(especially, contents of
feeding bottles and baby
food jars).
