The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when addlng ingredients (instant coffee, etc.]. This can harm the oven and the hot liquid could burn you. Do not use such containers to heat liquids again.

l keep door closed 0 turn oven off

l disconnect the power supply at the cord, fuse or circuit breaker.

If your electric power line voltage is less than the nor- mal 120 volts, cooking times may be longer.
