[. . . ] All these materials are suitable for recycling. After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage. Also ensure that the door (including the viewing window, door seals and door locks) is not damaged or bent and closes firmly against the door support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is emitted during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked. 10 Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until it has been repaired by a qualified technician. [. . . ] If the unit is not kept properly clean, deterioration in the quality of its surfaces may be caused, with possible subsequent shortening of its life-cycle, as well as potential risk to the user's safety. This microwave oven is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. (Class B in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2) Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual. The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2) Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food temperature. Always use suitable kitchen utensils Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable. Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven might also cause sparks, resulting in possible damage to the unit. As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances. Should the use of aluminium foil be recommend in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum distance of 2. 5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven. Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects are also not suitable. Always make sure that the cooking containers used are not hollow in any part (e. g. Porous materials may have absorbed water during 12 cleaning and are again not suitable. [. . . ] The turntable starts to rotate; during operation, the interior light remains switched on. - If the door is opened during operation (e. g. to stir the food), cooking and timer functions are automatically suspended and will automatically resume after the door is closed again. - After the pre-programmed time has elapsed, a sound signal is heard and the interior lighting is switched off.
