To minimize the risk of fire in the
microwave: When heating food in
plastic or paper containers, always
keep an eye on the microwave when
it is in operation, as these materials
can catch fire.
•
Remove closures containing wire from
paper or plastic bags, before placing
them in the microwave.
•
Should you notice smoke, switch
the appliance off or pull the plug
from the socket and keep the door
closed to suffocate any possible flames.
•
Do not use the interior of the micro-
wave for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper items, cooking utensils
or food in the microwave when it is
not being used.
Important:
Liquids and other foods
must not be heated in airtight con-
tainers, as these may explode and
damage the appliance.
When heating beverages in the
microwave, bubbling may be delayed
when the drink boils. Therefore, be
careful when handling the container.
•
Do not fry in the microwave. Hot oil
can damage parts of the appliance
and utensils and even cause skin
burns.
•
Eggs in their shells and hard-boiled
eggs should not be heated in the
microwave, as they may explode,
even after completion of the heating
process.
Food with thick skins, such as pota-
toes, whole pumpkins, apples and
chestnuts must be pricked before
cooking.
The content of babies' bottles or jars
of baby food should be shaken or
stirred.
Danger:
Before feeding, check the
temperature to avoid potentially
lethal burns for babies.
Cooking utensils may become hot
from the heat emitted by the food,
so you may require oven gloves to
touch them. In this case it should be
checked if the cooking utensils are
suitable for use in the microwave.
Danger:
Microwave radiation is
dangerous! Arrange for service and
repair work, in which the coverings
that protect you from contact with
microwave radiation need to be
removed, to be carried out only by
trained specialists.
Danger:
Inadequate cleanliness of
the cooking appliance can lead to
destruction of the upper surface,
which on your part influences the
total period of use and could possibly
lead to dangerous situations.
