Never store combustible items in the cooking
d
compartment. They could catch fire if the appliance is
switched on.
There is a risk of burning.
Never open the appliance door if there is smoke in the
cooking compartment. Pull out the appliance plug.
Never switch on the appliance unless there is food in
the cooking compartment. It could be overloaded. An
exception to this rule is for short term testing of
ovenware (see the Microwave, ovenware section).
Never use the microwave oven without the turntable.
Never place food directly on the turntable. Always use
a dish.
Liquid that has boiled over must not be allowed to run
through the turntable drive into the interior of the
appliance. Observe the procedure. Use a short
cooking time and reset if necessary.
Be careful with food that is prepared with drinks with a
high alcohol content (e.g. cognac, rum).
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. In
unfavourable circumstances, the alcohol vapours
could catch fire in the cooking compartment. There is
a risk of burning.
Use only small quantities of drinks with a high alcohol
content and open the cooking compartment door
carefully.
Never operate the appliance if the appliance door is
damaged. Otherwise microwave energy may escape.
