Warning and Safety instructions
11
Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender,
or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy can ignite when heated,
even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. Do not
heat these up in the microwave oven. Fire hazard!
The microwave oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting
items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning
when the item is removed from the appliance. Fire hazard!
The appliance can be damaged if it is used without food being
placed in it or if it is incorrectly loaded. Therefore do not use the
appliance to preheat crockery or to dry herbs or similar items.
Always ensure that food, a gourmet plate or a browning dish has
been placed in the microwave, and that the turntable is in place,
before switching on.
Pressure can build up when reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can cause them to explode. Never
cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top
and
teat must be taken off.
Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although
heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the
microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to
the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot.
The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving,
always check the temperature of the food itself after taking it out of
the microwave. The temperature of the container is not an indication
of the temperature of the food or liquid in it.
This is particularly
important when heating food for babies, children, and the
elderly or infirm.
After reheating food, especially food for babies
and small children, stir the food or shake the container and check
that the temperature does not pose any danger of burning. Double
check after it has been left to stand.
