EMS 2390 English
• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent
the microwave oven from operating when the door
is open.
• Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate
the oven with the door open as open door
operation can result in exposure to microwave
energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to
accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the
Cleaning and Care section for cleaning
instructions.
• It is particularly important that the oven door
closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken
or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.
If the door, hinges/latches or door seals
are damaged, the microwave must not
be operated until it has been repaired
by a authorized service person.
It is hazardous for anyone except factory
trained service personnel to service or make
adjustments to this oven. Contact your
nearest authorised service agent if service
should be required.
• Do not remove the outer case, door or control
panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure
to extremely high voltage.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with
‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in
this appliance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use neither
for commercial use as this will invalidate the
guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is
not present to absorb the microwave energy, the
magnetron tube can be damaged.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use
this product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in
the microwave oven. These items can ignite.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames. Never use water.
Only allow children to use the microwave
without supervision when adequate
instructions have been given so that the child
is able to use the microwave in a safe way
and understand the hazards of improper use.
Utensil safety
• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-
ware utensils are excellent for use in the micro-
wave oven. Although microwave energy will not
heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils
can become hot as heat transfers from the food to
the container. The use of oven gloves to remove
dishes is recommended.
Testing suitability of cookware
• Place the cookware in the microwave along with
a glass half full of water. Heat on Hi W(900W)
(100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot,
you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm,
you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If
the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for
microwave cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are
great convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb energy
and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using
plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils
with foods that have high fat or sugar content
since these foods reach high temperatures and
could melt some plastics.
• Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from
time to time when heating or cooking food in
plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If
smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the
oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
