CDA SV451 - Manual (Page 4)

Important
• Read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.
• Do not allow children near the oven when in use.
• Do not perform maintenance or cleaning of the oven without first switching off the electricity supply. If the oven
has recently been used, allow to cool.
• Clean the appliance regularly.
• Remove spills as soon as they occur.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surface of the enamel.
• Do not allow vinegar, coffee, milk, saltwater, lemon or tomato juice to remain in contact with enamel parts.
Check the door seal and door frame regularly to ensure they are not damaged.
• Do not attempt to repair the internal workings of your oven.
Only open the door using the handle
The microwave will not function if the door is not closed correctly.
The internal light will switch off automatically three minutes after the door is opened.
To eliminate moisture, this appliance is equipped with a delayed cooling function. The cooling fan will continue to run
after the end of the programme and will stop automatically when it is no longer required.
It is possible to adjust the cooking time during cooking. This option is not available on the preset defrost programmes.
This appliance is designed to operate on all functions with the door closed.
Never operate the microwave when empty or without the turntable in place to prevent damage to your appliance.
Do not tamper with the openings on the lock on the front of the appliance. This could damage the appliance and may
not be covered by the warranty.
Do not cook food or liquids in sealed containers as there is a risk they may explode. This includes baby bottles with the
teat in place.
Baby milk and baby food must be stirred thoroughly after cooking and the temperature checked before consumption to
ensure even temperature distribution and to prevent injury.
Heating liquids in the microwave can cause sudden or delayed eruption, so care must be taken when handling their
containers.
Do not cook eggs in their shells or whole hardboiled eggs in the microwave as there is a risk they may explode, even
after cooking has ended.
When heating small quantities of food (e.g. a sausage or a slice of bread), place a glass of water next to the food for best
results.
Excessive cooking times may dry out or burn food. Do not use the recommended cooking times for a conventional
oven when cooking in your appliance.
Cover food with plastic microwave-safe food wrap or an inverted plate before cooking.
Use only microwave safe utensils. The use of metallic cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal staples and fasteners for
defrosting bags is not recommended.
Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the oven. Some dishes will absorb the heat from the food and so are hot
to the touch after cooking.
When cooking or reheating items in paper or plastic containers, you should monitor the microwave contents due the
risk of combustion.
If you see smoke inside the microwave, stop the programme, switch off the power at the plug and leave the door closed
to stifle any flames inside the cavity.
