Safety information
for microwave
operation
44
q The microwave must only be switched on when
there is food in the cooking compartment.
q Always use the microwave settings and cooking
times specified in the instruction manual. If you
select a heat setting that is too high or a cooking
time that is too long, this may cause the food to
ignite and the appliance to be damaged. Risk of
fire.
q The microwave should only be used for heating
food and drinks. Using the microwave for other
purposes may be dangerous and may result in
damage e.g. grains or cereals could catch fire
when heated. There is a risk of burning.
q Risk of scalding
When heating up liquids, always place a teaspoon
in the container to prevent delayed boiling. When
boiling is delayed, the liquid comes to the boil
without the customary steam bubbles. The
slightest vibration can cause the hot liquid to boil
over or spatter violently. This can cause injuries
and scalds.
q Baby food:
Always heat up baby food in a glass or bottle
without the lid or teat. Once heated, the baby food
should be stirred or shaken thoroughly to distribute
the heat evenly. Always check the temperature
before giving the food to your baby. There is a risk
of scalding.
q Never heat up food or drinks in tightly sealed
containers. There is a risk of explosion.
q Alcoholic drinks must not be overheated. There is
a risk of explosion.
q Do not heat any meals in heat retaining packages
as they could ignite. Food in containers made of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials must
be monitored during heating. Airtight packaging
may burst when the food is heated.
