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

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
