Note: Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed
inside the oven. Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.
Important notes
● When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-
point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme
caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven.
● The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the
container during the heating process.
● Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave
oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.
● Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in
closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
● The contents of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly
stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful
and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
● When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as
plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food
will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil are also
inflammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during
operation. Highly volatile or inflammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of
course not be heated up.
● Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or
smother any flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
● To prevent danger of burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing
food items from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up not only
during use of the grill, but also during microwave operation.
● Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for
use with microwave ovens.
