ENGLISH
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to
avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature
and stir before serving and pay special atten-
tion to the temperature of food and drink given
to babies, children or the elderly. Accessible
parts may become hot during use. Young chil-
dren should be kept away.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink; always check
the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening it
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
This appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-
control system.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden
boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they are liable
to explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must
be taken when handling the container.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids
before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a
build up of pressure even after the oven has been
turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers
such as baby bottles, as this may result in the
contents erupting from the container when heated
and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1.
Do not use excessive amount of time.
2.
Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3.
It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil
(not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4.
Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven
at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed
eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard
boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after micro-
wave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs
which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce
the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode.
Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating
them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption, in order
to avoid burns.
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
