Main risks

• Steam burns when opening containers or removing lids, and from very hot interior surfaces and containers.
• Superheating of liquids, with possible sudden boiling when the cup is moved or a spoon is inserted.
• Bursting of foods with skins or shells (potatoes, sausages, whole eggs) and of hermetically sealed containers.
• Fire or smoke due to overheating of food, use of unsuitable containers, or the presence of flammable materials.
• Sparks (arcing) when inserting metal, crumpled aluminium foil or crockery with metallic rims.
• Risk of electric shock from a damaged cable or plug, moisture, or splashes on electrical parts.
• The appliance tipping or falling if placed on unstable surfaces or handled while operating.

Safe use

• Place the microwave on a firm, level surface, leaving space for ventilation and without blocking the vents.
• Use only containers clearly marked as microwave-safe and with no metal parts; avoid sealed lids. Uncover or leave a small opening.
• Do not put metal or crumpled aluminium foil inside. If you observe sparks, stop the appliance immediately and remove the object causing them once it is cool.
• Do not run it empty. Check that the turntable is properly positioned and rotates freely.
• For liquids, heat in short intervals, stir between pauses and let stand for a few seconds before removing. Check the temperature before drinking or serving.
• Pierce or slightly open foods with a skin or membrane to prevent bursting.
• Cover food with a microwave-safe lid to reduce splashes and promote more even heating.
• Avoid excessive times and do not leave unattended during prolonged heating. If there is smoke or a strong burning smell, stop the process and ventilate the room.
• When removing hot containers, use oven gloves and keep your face and hands away from the steam.

Storage and maintenance

• Place the appliance in a dry, stable location, away from sources of heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
• Unplug before cleaning. Do not wet or immerse it; clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Remove splashes from the cavity and the turntable after each use to prevent carbonisation, odours and risk of fire.
• Avoid abrasive products or utensils that may scratch the interior, the door or the panel.
• Keep the vents and ventilation openings free of dust and unobstructed.
• Regularly check the cable, plug, hinges, latch and door seals. If they are damaged or do not close properly, do not use the appliance.
• Internal repairs and replacement of parts must be carried out only by qualified service technicians.

Usage restrictions

• For indoor use and in dry environments. Keep the microwave away from flammable materials, aerosols and curtains.
• Do not connect the appliance to overloaded power strips or extension leads; plug it into a suitable and accessible socket.
• Do not dry clothes, sponges or non-food items. Avoid heating plastic or paper containers that are not labelled as microwave-safe.
• Do not heat closed bottles or jars. Shake or stir and always test the temperature before feeding a baby.
• Do not use the microwave if the door does not close properly, is deformed or shows gaps in the seal.
• Keep children away from the front area during operation and supervise use by children or by persons with reduced mobility or abilities.
• Do not cover the top or the vents with cloths, wrappings or objects during use or cooling.
