The accessible parts of the appliance become
hot during operation.
▶
Never touch these hot parts.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
At the highest settings in microwave only
mode, the drying function will automatically
switch on an additional heating element to
heat the cooking compartment.
▶
Never touch the inside surfaces of the
cooking compartment or the heating ele-
ments while they are hot.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
Using the appliance for anything other than its
intended purpose is dangerous. This is be-
cause, for instance, overheated slippers, pil-
lows filled with grain or cereal, sponges and
damp cleaning cloths, etc., may cause burns
to the skin.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when
a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid
reaches the boiling temperature without the
usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Ex-
ercise caution even when only gently shaking
the container. The hot liquid may suddenly
boil over and splatter.
▶
Always place a spoon in the container
when heating liquids. This prevents delayed
boiling.
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
Unsuitable cookware may crack. Porcelain or
ceramic cookware can have small perfora-
tions in the handles and lid. These perfora-
tions conceal a cavity below. If moisture pen-
etrates this cavity, it could cause the cook-
ware to crack.
▶
Only use microwave-safe cookware.
Cookware and containers made from metal or
cookware with metal edging may lead to
sparks being formed during simple mi-
crowave operation. The appliance is dam-
aged.
▶
Never use metal containers during mi-
crowave-only operation.
▶
Only use microwave-safe cookware or use
the microwave in combination with a type
of heating.

The appliance uses a high voltage.
▶

ing microwave energy.
