PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
This appliance is designed for domestic use
only!
LIQUIDS
E.g. beverages or water in your
microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence
of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container from the oven.
The appliance should not be operated without
food in the oven when using microwaves.
Operation in this manner is likely to damage the
appliance.
If you practice operating the oven, put a
glass of water inside. The water will absorb the
microwave energy and the oven will not be
damaged.
DEEP-FRYING
Do not use your microwave
oven for deep-frying, because
the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and pan
after cooking.
CAREFUL
Always refer to a microwave cookbook (not
included) for details. Especially, if cooking or
reheating food that contains alcohol.
After heating baby food or
liquids in a baby bottle or in
a baby food jar, always stir
and check the temperature
before serving. This will ensure that the heat
is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding
or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed
before heating!
Do not use the cavity for any storage
purposes.
Do not remove the microwave inlet
protection plates located on the side of the
oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food
particles from entering the microwave inlet
channels.
