pyrolytic cleaning
Risk of fire!
■
Loose food remains, grease and meat juices may catch fire
during pyrolytic cleaning. Before starting any cleaning,
remove the worst soiling from the cooking compartment.
■
Never hang combustible objects, e.g. tea towels, on the door
handle. During cleaning, the outside of the appliance will
become very hot. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of serious damage to health.!
Never use pyrolytic cleaning to clean non-stick baking trays and
dishes. High temperatures damage the non-stick coating and
poisonous gases are released.
Information on the microwave
Preparing food
Risk of fire!
Only use the microwave to prepare food which is fit for
consumption. Using the microwave for other purposes may be
dangerous and may result in damage, e.g. heated slippers and
grain or cereal pillows could catch fire, even several hours later.
Ovenware
Risk of injury!
■
Porcelain or ceramic ovenware can have small perforations in
the handles or lids. These perforations conceal a cavity
below. Any moisture that penetrates this cavity could cause
the ovenware to crack.
■
Only use ovenware that is suitable for use in a microwave.
Risk of burns!
Hot food can heat up ovenware. Always use an oven cloth or
oven gloves to remove ovenware and accessories from the
cooking compartment.
Microwave power and time
Risk of fire!
Do not select a microwave power or time setting that is higher
than necessary. The food could catch fire and cause damage
to the appliance. Follow the information provided in this
instruction manual.
Packaging
Risk of fire!
■
Never heat food in heat-retaining packages.
■
Do not leave food heating unattended in containers made of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials.
Risk of burning!
Airtight packaging may burst when food is heated. Follow the
information provided on the packaging. Always use an oven
cloth or oven gloves to remove meals.
Drinks
Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the
container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil
over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Risk of explosion!
■
Never heat drinks in containers that have been tightly sealed.
■
Never overheat alcoholic drinks.
Baby food
Risk of burns!
Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always remove the
lid or teat. Stir or shake well after the food has been heated.
This is the only way to ensure even heat distribution. Check the
temperature of the food before it is given to the child.
Foods with shells or skin
Risk of burns!
■
Never cook eggs in their shells. Never reheat hard-boiled
eggs as they may crack or explode. The same applies to
shellfish and crustaceans. Always prick the yoke when
baking or poaching eggs.
■
Always prick the skin of foods that have a skin or peel
such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages before
cooking. to prevent the peel or skin from bursting.
Drying food
Risk of fire!
Never use the microwave to dry food.
Food with a low water content
Risk of fire!
Never defrost or heat food with a low water content, e.g. bread,
at too high a power or for too long.
Cooking oil
Risk of fire!
Never use the microwave to heat cooking oil on its own.
