Warning and Safety instructions
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave, as this can easily ignite.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on the hot heating elements. Alcohol should be burnt off before the dish is placed in the oven to avoid this danger.
Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the appliance. Pressure can build up and they may explode, resulting in injury or damage.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke occurs in the oven interior. Cancel the cooking process by switching the appliance off, switch off at the socket and remove the plug. Do not open the oven door until the smoke has dispersed.
Moisture in food could lead to corrosion in the oven interior and corrosion damage of the control panel, worktop or housing unit.
–Always cover food when using the Microwave (Solo) function. After food has been brought to the boil, continue cooking it at a lower setting to avoid excess steam escaping.
–If you wish to complete a cooking process using the residual heat in the oven, do not switch the appliance off. Leave the function selector at the position set and turn the temperature selector to the lowest setting.
–Cover any food which is left in the oven to be kept hot. This also prevents the food from drying out.
Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.
Do not lean or sit on an open oven door, or place heavy items on it. This can damage the appliance. The maximum load bearing capacity of the door is 8 kg.
Do not use full power to warm empty dishes or to dry out herbs. The appliance could be damaged if used without food, or if it is incorrectly loaded.
Do not use the microwave function to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the appliance.
