Risk of fire! ■ Food may catch fire. Never heat food in
heat-retaining packages.
Do not leave food heating unattended in
containers made of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials.
Do not select a microwave power or time
setting that is higher than necessary. Follow
the information provided in this instruction
manual.
Never use the microwave to dry food.
Never defrost or heat food with a low water
content, e.g. bread, at too high a microwave
power or for too long.
Risk of fire!
■ Cooking oil may catch fire. Never use the
microwave to heat cooking oil on its own.
:Warning – Risk of explosion!
Liquids and other food may explode when in
containers that have been tightly sealed.
Never heat liquids or other food in containers
that have been tightly sealed.
:Warning – Risk of burns!
■ Foods with peel or skin may burst or
explode during, or even after, heating.
Never cook eggs in their shells or reheat
hard-boiled eggs. Never cook shellfish or
crustaceans. Always prick the yolk when
baking or poaching eggs. The skin of foods
that have a peel or skin, such as apples,
tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may
burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.
Risk of burns!
■ Heat is not distributed evenly through baby
food. Never heat baby food in closed
containers. Always remove the lid or teat.
Stir or shake well after the food has been
heated. Check the temperature of the food
before it is given to the child.
Risk of burns!
■ Heated food gives off heat. The ovenware
may become hot. Always use oven gloves
to remove ovenware or accessories from
the cooking compartment.
Risk of burns!
■ Airtight packaging may burst when food is
heated. Always observe the instructions on
the packaging. Always use oven gloves to
remove dishes from the cooking
compartment.
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a
liquid is heated. This means that the liquid
reaches boiling temperature without the usual
steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if
the container only vibrates a little, the hot
liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter.
When heating, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
:Warning – Risk of injury!
Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain or
ceramic ovenware can have small perforations
in the handles or lids. These perforations
conceal a cavity below. Any moisture that
penetrates this cavity could cause the
ovenware to crack. Only use microwave-safe
ovenware.
