Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended; Also do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers, nuts inshells, tomatoes etc.

Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. They may catch fire as hot air escapes from the oven. The oven may also overheat and switch itself off automatically, and will remain off until it cools sufficiently.

Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the oven to avoid unintentional burns.

Do not touch heating elements or interior oven walls until the oven has cooled down.

Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.

Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.

Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty. The microwave oven will automatically shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water inside the oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in case the microwave oven is started accidentally.
