Never heat up slippers, pillows filled with
grain or cereal, sponges, damp cleaning
cloths or similar with the appliance.

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.
