∙ When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-
point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme
caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven.
The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the
container during the heating process.
∙ Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave
oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating process has fi nished.
∙ Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in
closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
∙ The contents of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly
stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful
and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
∙ When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as
plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that
food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil are
also infl ammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during
operation. Highly volatile or infl ammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of
course not be heated up.
∙ Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or
smother any fl ames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
∙ To prevent danger of burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing
food items from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up not only
during use of the grill or hot-air functions, but also during microwave operation.
∙ Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for
use with microwave ovens.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check the
unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage.
∙ Caution: Ensure that the door, including the viewing window and door locks, are not
damaged or bent and that it closes fi rmly against the support. This is important to ensure
that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during operation. For the same reason,
the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked.
Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances
until it has been repaired by a qualifi ed technician.
∙ Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
∙ Do not remove the protective fi lm covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable/ drive unit or the grey-brown protective cover
