.. Safety instructions relating specifi cally to the use
of microwaves
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
There is a risk of injury from exploding containers.
Do not heat up food or liquids in sealed or tightly closed con-
tainers! These can explode in the appliance and cause injuries
on opening. Remove the lids from containers which close,
such as feeding bottles for babies.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
There is a risk of burns.
Food prepared in the microwave may heat up unevenly.
Check the temperature of food before eating. When preparing
baby food and bottles, always stir the food or shake the bottle
before checking the temperature in order to avoid burns.
Do not heat eggs in their shells or prepare whole hard-boiled
eggs in the microwave as they can explode while cooking and
even after removal. Eggs may only be cooked in microwave
dishes designed specifically for this purpose.
Prick or score food which has a tough skin, e.g. tomatoes, sau-
sages, aubergines etc. before cooking in order to prevent it
from bursting.
Hot steam will escape when you open cooking containers
(e.g. popcorn bags, food storage containers). Always hold the
opening away from your body as you open the container.
Hot steam will escape when you open the microwave door.
Do not stand too close.
The surfaces of the microwave, the accessory parts, as well as
the dishes will become very hot during the cooking process.
Use oven gloves. Allow parts to cool down before cleaning.
