Keep children away from the door when opening or closing it as they may bump themselves on the door or catch their fingers in the door.
WARNING: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container; To prevent this situation ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off so that the temperature can equalize. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
• Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
• Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
• Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

Before you start
About microwave energy
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses the prebuilt magnetron to generate microwaves which are used to cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring the food.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly through the whirling distribution system.
This is why the food is cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed down to the food up to a depth of approx. 2.5 cm.
Then, the microwaves are dissipated inside the food as cooking continues.
3. The cooking time is affected by the following conditions of the food.
• Quantity and density
• Moisture content
• Initial temperature (especially, when frozen)
NOTE
The cooked food keeps heat in its core after cooking is complete. This is why you must respect the standing time specified in this manual, which ensures cooking evenly down to the core.
