Safety tips
The following tips avoid damage to the 
appliance: 
• Do not switch on the appliance without the 
rotating base and respective plate.
• Do not switch on the appliance when it is
empty. This may result in overload, if there is 
no food inside. 
• Only use microwave-safe dishes. 
• Do not keep any inflammable object inside the 
oven, because it may go on fire when the oven 
is switched on. 
• Eggs with shells and whole boiled eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens because 
they may explode. 
• Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks in
the microwave.
 THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. 
• Warning: do not heat liquids or other foods in 
closed containers, because they could easily 
explode. 
Be careful when heating liquids! 
• When heating liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, 
etc.), they may almost reach boiling point 
inside the appliance and if they are removed 
suddenly, may fly out of the container. This 
may cause injuries and burns! 
• In order to avoid this type of situations, put a
plastic spoon or glass rod in the container 
when heating liquids. 
Be careful! 
• When heating small amounts of food, it is 
very important not to select long periods of time 
or very high power levels, because the food 
may overheat or burn. For example, bread may 
burn after 3 minutes if a very high power level 
is selected. 
• To toast, only use the grill function and
supervise the oven at all times. If you are 
using the combined function (microwave 
and grill) to toast, the bread will go on fire 
in a very short period of time. 
• Always heat baby food in jars or bottles
without lids or teats. After heating the food, 
shake or stir it well to ensure that the heat is 
uniformly distributed. Check the temperature of 
the food before giving it to the child, Burning 
hazard! 
In case of repair: 
• ¡Warning – Microwaves! The outer 
protection should not be removed. Any 
repair or maintenance carried out by persons 
that have not been authorised by the 
manufacturer is dangerous. 
• Warning: The light bulb may only be replaced
by the Technical Support Service.
• If the power cable is damaged, only the
Technical Support Service may replace it with 
one of the same characteristics, in order to 
avoid damage. 
• Repairs and maintenance, especially of
charged parts, may only be carried out by 
technicians that have been authorised by the 
manufacturer.
