- Children from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
can use this appliance only if they are supervised or have been given
instructions on safe appliance use and if they understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance should not be done by unsupervised
children.
- During and after use, do not touch the heating elements or interior
surfaces of the appliance: risk of burns. Do not allow the appliance to
come into contact with cloths or other ammable materials until all
the components have cooled down completely.
- At the end of cooking, exercise caution when opening the appliance
door, letting the hot air or steam exit gradually before accessing the
appliance. Do not obstruct the vent apertures.
- Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories, taking care not to
touch the heating elements.
- Do not place ammable materials in or near the appliance: a re may
break out if the appliance is inadvertently switched on.
- Do not use the microwave oven for heating anything in airtight
sealed containers. The pressure increases and may cause damage
when opening or may explode.

jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving.
Ensure the lid and the teat is removed before heating.
- If alcoholic beverages are used when cooking foods (e.g. rum,

temperatures. As a result, there is a risk that vapors released by the
alcohol may catch re upon coming into contact with the electrical
heating element.
