RNING It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy WARNING Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode Eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended WARNING Children should not be allowed to play with the appliance or tamper with its controls Do not allow children near the oven when it is in operation as this may result in severe burns Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the front panel of the oven and the door Always keep the inside of the door E clean using a damp cloth and non abrasive detergents Do not allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate between the front panel of the oven on the door The following warnings must be observed when the door is open Do not place heavy objects on the door or pull the handle downwards any further as the appliance may tip over Never place hot con tainers or pans e g just taken off the stove on the door If the power cable becomes damaged this must be substituted only by specialised personnel autho rised or by the manufacturer If smoke is observed switch off or unplu
