Important Safety Instructions - SEVERIN MW 9675 Mode D'emploi

Before the appliance is used for the first time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be
thoroughly cleaned as described in the section General Care and Cleaning.
Insert the drive unit, the roller ring and the glass turntable into the unit.
Do not operate the appliance without the drive unit, roller ring and glass turntable properly
fitted.
Before the microwave oven is used for the first time, let the appliance heat up on the grill setting
(without the microwave function activated) for 10 minutes. This will remove the smell typically
encountered when first switching on a grill. A slight odour may be emitted; this is quite normal,
but ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
Note: Do not switch the unit on in the microwave function unless the food to be heated or cooked
has been placed inside the oven. Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.
When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-point
without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme caution when
handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven.
The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the liquid
during the heating process.
Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since
they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.
Caution : It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed
containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
The content of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or
shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful and dangerous
scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or
paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or
even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil can also ignite. It is therefore
important to constantly supervise the appliance during operation. Highly inflammable liquids
such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any
flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
To prevent burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food items from the
oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up not only during use of the grill and hot
air convection, but also during microwave operation.
Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with
microwave ovens.
Caution: Certain types of food can catch fire. Do not, under any circumstances, leave the
appliance unattended when using the microwave, grill, hot-air convection or combination
functions
This microwave oven is intended for defrosting, heating and cooking of food only. No
responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not
