Safety Precautions (continued)

8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
◆
ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the
oven has been switched off so that the temperature can
equalize.
◆
Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
◆
Take care when handling the container after heating. You may
burn yourself, if the container is too hot.
◆
A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
◆
To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put
a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before,
during and after heating.
Reason: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be
delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after
the container is removed from the oven. You may scald
yourself.
◆
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
• Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least
10 minutes.
• Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
• Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
◆
NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that
is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from
boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if
overheated.
◆
ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before
giving it to the baby.
◆
NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may
explode if overheated.
9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.
◆
Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the
power cable away from heated surfaces.
◆
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or
plug.
10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or
floor can cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of
the oven.
12. You may notice a “clicking” sound during operation (especially
when the oven is defrosting).
Reason: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is
changing.
13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power
will be cut off automati-cally for safety. You can operate the oven
normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when
food is being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic,
paper or other combustible materials.
IMPORTANT
Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the
microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the
microwave oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should
not be stored or hidden just above the oven.
