Risk of fire! ■ Food may catch fire. Never heat food in
heat-retaining packages.
Do not leave food heating unattended in
containers made of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials.
Do not select a microwave power or time
setting that is higher than necessary. Follow
the information provided in this instruction
manual.
Never use the microwave to dry food.
Never defrost or heat food with a low water
content, e.g. bread, at too high a microwave
power or for too long.
Risk of fire!
■ Cooking oil may catch fire. Never use the
microwave to heat cooking oil on its own.
:Warning – Risk of explosion!
Liquids and other food may explode when in
containers that have been tightly sealed.
Never heat liquids or other food in containers
that have been tightly sealed.
:Warning – Risk of burns!
■ Foods with peel or skin may burst or
explode during, or even after, heating.
Never cook eggs in their shells or reheat
hard-boiled eggs. Never cook shellfish or
crustaceans. Always prick the yolk when
baking or poaching eggs. The skin of foods
that have a peel or skin, such as apples,
tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may
burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.
Risk of burns!
■ Heat is not distributed evenly through baby
food. Never heat baby food in closed
containers. Always remove the lid or teat.
Stir or shake well after the food has been
heated. Check the temperature of the food
before it is given to the child.
Risk of burns!
■ Heated food gives off heat. The ovenware
may become hot. Always use oven gloves
to remove ovenware or accessories from
the cooking compartment.
Risk of burns!
■ Airtight packaging may burst when food is
heated. Always observe the instructions on
the packaging. Always use oven gloves to
remove dishes from the cooking
compartment.
:Warning – 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 may suddenly boil over and spatter.
When heating, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
:Warning – Risk of injury!
Unsuitable ovenware may crack. 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 microwave-safe
ovenware.
:Warning – Risk of electric shock!
The appliance is a high-voltage appliance.
Never remove the casing.
:Warning – Risk of serious damage to
health!
■ The surface of the appliance may become
damaged if it is not cleaned properly.
Microwave energy may escape. Clean the
appliance on a regular basis, and remove
any food residue immediately. Always keep
the cooking compartment, door seal, door
and door stop clean.
Risk of serious damage to health!
■ Microwave energy may escape if the
cooking compartment door or the door seal
is damaged. Never use the appliance if the
cooking compartment door, the door seal
or the plastic door frame is damaged. Call
the after-sales service.
Risk of serious damage to health!
■ Microwave energy will escape from
appliances that do not have any casing.
Never remove the casing. For any
maintenance or repair work, contact the
after-sales service.
Steam
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
■ The water in the water tank may become
very hot if you continue to operate the
appliance. Empty the water tank after every
operation with steam.
Risk of scalding!
■ Hot steam is generated in the cooking
compartment. Do not reach into the
cooking compartment during any operation
with steam.
Risk of scalding!
■ Hot liquid may spill over the sides of the
accessory when it is removed from the
cooking compartment. Remove hot
accessories with care and always wear
oven gloves.
