IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Do not leave the appliance unattended when heating food in disposable, e.g. plastic, paper or other flammable materials.

See "Selecting cookware".

~Do not use the oven to heat food in heat retaining packaging, e.g. take-out food bags.

This packaging contains a thin layer of aluminum foil which reflects the microwaves. This reflected energy can cause the paper layer to ignite.

~Before serving food allow a sufficient standing time. Always check the temperature of the food itself after taking it out of the microwave oven. Do not judge by the plate temperature. The heat is created in the food, the dishes may stay cool to the touch.

~Always check the temperature before serving heated baby food.

~Use a food thermometer to measure the foods temperature. Do not use thermometers containing mercury or liquids, they are not suitable for high temperatures and break easily.

~Always check that food is sufficiently heated. The time required varies depending on a number of factors, such as initial temperature, quantity, type and consistency of the food, and changes in the recipe. Germs present in the food are killed off only at a sufficiently high temperature (> 158° F) and after a sufficiently long time (> 10 Min.). Select a longer cook time if you are unsure if food is thoroughly heated. To ensure temperature is distributed evenly, stir and rotate food occassionally time before serving.

~Never cook or reheat food and liquids in sealed containers or bottles. Remove the nipple or lid before heating in the microwave oven. Built-up pressure may cause them to burst. Danger of injuries.

~When heating liquids, the provided boiling wand should be placed into the container.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces, etc., in the oven without the boiling wand, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of bubbles. The liquid will not boil evenly. This "boiling delay" can cause a sudden build up of steam bubbles, when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning!

The built-up pressure may force the oven door open. This could result in injury or damage. The boiling wand ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that steam bubbles form at an early stage.
