•
This microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages only. The
drying of food or clothing, and heating of warming pads, wheat bags, slippers,
sponges, damp cloths and similar is extremely dangerous & may lead to risk of
injury, ignition or fire.
•
Do not use metal pans, dishes with metal handles or anything with a metal trim
inside the microwave when using the microwave function. Do not use paper
covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
•
Never put objects into the openings on the outer case.
•
Food containing a mixture of fat and water (e.g. stock), should stand for 30 to
60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture
to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock
cube is added.
•
When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain
foods (such as jam, Christmas pudding, and mincemeat), which heat up very
quickly.
•
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
•
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken
and the temperature checked before consumption in order to avoid burns. Do
not heat baby bottles with the teat left on. Remove it if placing the bottle back
into the oven.
•
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has
ended.

potatoes, chicken livers, sausages, ready meals and so on without piercing
them several times with a fork.
•
Do not try to deep-fry foods in this microwave oven in microwave function.
•
Do not overcook food.
•
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due
to the possibility of ignition.
•
If materials inside the oven smoke or catch fire, keep the oven door closed to
stifle the flames, and turn the oven off at the wall switch or shut the power off
at the fuse or circuit-breaker panel. If smoke is emitted , switch off or unplug
the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
