Microwave
• Only switch the appliance on when there is food in it. With no food in it, the appliance
could overload.
•
Only use microwave-safe cookware . Refer to "Uses, Tables and Tips: Suitable cook-
ware and materials".
• To prevent the appliance from corrosion through releasing steam, dry the appliance
with a cloth after each use.
• Do not let the appliance stay unattended when you heat or cook food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials.
• If there is smoke, keep the appliance closed. Deactivate the appliance and disconnect
it from the power supply. Do not use the appliance if it does not work correctly.
• When heating liquids, always put a coffee spoon or a glass rod in the container to
prevent boiling delay. With boiling delay the boiling temperature is reached without
the typical steam bubbles.
If the container is shaken, the liquid can suddenly boil over or spray violently. Risk of
burns!
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork sev-
eral times before cooking so that the food does not burst.
•
Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is reached when cooking/heating
food. For this please refer to the power and time data in the tables. Do not use mercu-
ry or liquid thermometers to measure the temperature of the food.
•
Food heated with microwaves gives off heat to the cookware. Use oven gloves or
equivalent protection!
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry
out, burn or catch in some places.
• The inner side of the oven, the grill heating element and the accessories become hot
when the appliance operates. Handle them carefully and use oven gloves or equivalent
protection. Risk of burns!
• Metal objects must be a minimum of 2 cm from the walls of the appliance and the
appliance door. If not, sparks can be released and the appliance can be damaged.
• If not told differently, do not use aluminium foil.
• Do not get anything caught between the door and the door frame.
• Always keep the door seal, the door seal surfaces and the inner side of the appliance
clean. Dirt in the appliance can cause dangerous situations.
• Do not keep flammable materials in the oven. These could catch fire when the oven is
activated.
• Always heat baby food in jars or bottles with the lid or top off. After heating, stir or
shake well. Make sure that the temperature is not too high before you give the baby
food to the child.
Do not use the appliance:
• To cook eggs in their shells and snails, because they can burst. With fried eggs, pierce
