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.
Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in the oven.
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 are 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.
