Warning and safety instructions
Do not use the microwave to heat up herb cushions or pads filled
with wheat grains or lavender, such as those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the mi- crowave.
Fire hazard!
Exercise caution when cooking or reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If heated for too long the sugar may caramelise or ignite.
Do not use full power if you warm empty dishes or dry herbs. The
lack or minimum amount of food could cause damage to the appliance.
Never cook or reheat food or liq- uids in sealed containers or bot-
tles.
With baby bottles the screw top teat must be removed.
Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to ex- plode posing a severe risk of injury.
Before serving remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the microwave. Do not be misled by the temperature of the container which does not necessarily give a correct in- dication of the temeparature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly im- portant when preparing food for ba- bies, children, and the elderly or in- firm.
When heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should be placed into
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc., in the oven without the boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typi- cal bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This
The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open. The user could be injured and the appliance damaged.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that bubbles form at an early stage during the operation.
