intended use as described in this instruction
manual.
➢ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has
a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not

remember that there are certain foods (such
as Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat)
which heat up very quickly.
➢ When heating or cooking foods that contain

containers.
➢ Do not cook food directly on the turntable.

➢ Some products such as whole eggs in their
shell and sealed containers, for example,
closed glass jars, may explode and should
not be heated in the microwave oven.
➢ Do not place any objects or allow cleaning
residue to come between the oven face and
the door seals.
