1 Safety precautions
▪
Stir liquids halfway through heating and when the time is up allow the vessel
to stand in the cooking space for a short time. Stir the contents once more
and then take the vessel out of the cooking space.
▪
Scalding hazard! Infant food in jars and bottles must be heated without the
lid, top or teat. Infant food must be stirred or shaken well after being heated
up. It is imperative to check the temperature of the food before giving it to
the infant!
▪
Do not heat food in tightly sealed containers (tins, bottles, sealed foil, paper
or metal disposable packaging). Remove plastic packaging before cooking
or defrosting foods. Sealed containers are liable to explode. Always open
the containers.
▪
The cooking time depends on the quantity, nature and initial temperature of
the food, as well the cookware being used. Always start with the shorter
cooking time given to avoid overcooking the food. Otherwise, smaller quant-
ities or food with a low moisture content can dry out and possibly ignite. If
the food has not reached the right stage of cooking when the time is up, ex-
tend the cooking time.
▪
Prick food with a skin or peel such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, shell
food, etc. with a fork. Otherwise, the steam that is produced will be unable
to escape and may cause the food to explode.
▪
Do not cook eggs in the shell. Do not heat up boiled eggs. Eggs can ex-
plode in the microwave. Crack the eggs open and then whisk them. Pierce
the yolks of fried eggs.

Children in the home
▪
Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children. Pack-
aging material, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, can be dangerous for chil-
dren.
▪
The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these op-
erating instructions. Children are often unable to recognize the danger of
electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children
to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could hurt them-
selves.
