WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
Liquids and other food may easily explode
when in containers that have been tightly
sealed.
▶ Never heat liquids or other food in contain-
ers that have been tightly sealed.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode
during heating, or even afterwards.
▶ Never cook eggs in their shell or heat hard-
boiled eggs in their shell.
▶ Never cook shellfish or crustaceans.
▶ Always prick the yolk of eggs before mi-
crowaving.
▶ The skin of foods that have a peel or skin,
such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and
sausages, may burst. Before heating, prick
the peel or skin.
Heat is not distributed evenly through baby
food.
▶ Never heat baby food in closed containers.
▶ Always remove the lid or teat.
▶ Stir or shake well after heating.
▶ Check the temperature before giving the
food or drink to a child.
Heated food gives off heat. The cookware
may become hot.
▶ Always use oven gloves to remove cook-
ware or accessories from the cooking com-
partment.
Airtight packaging may burst when food is
heated.
▶ Always follow the instructions on the pack-
aging.
▶ Always use oven gloves to remove the
dishes from the cooking compartment.
The accessible parts of the appliance become
hot during operation.
▶ Never touch these hot parts.
▶ Keep children at a safe distance.
Using the appliance for anything other than its
intended purpose is dangerous. This is be-
cause, for instance, overheated slippers, pil-
lows filled with grain or cereal, sponges and
damp cleaning cloths, etc., may cause burns
to the skin.
▶ Never dry food or clothing with the appli-
ance.
▶ Never heat up slippers, pillows filled with
grain or cereal, sponges, damp cleaning
cloths or similar with the appliance.

▶ The appliance must only be used to pre-
pare food and drink.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when
a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid
reaches the boiling temperature without the
usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Ex-
ercise caution even when only gently shaking
the container. The hot liquid may suddenly
boil over and splatter.
▶ Always place a spoon in the container
when heating liquids. This prevents delayed
boiling.
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
Unsuitable cookware may crack. Porcelain or
ceramic cookware can have small perfora-
tions in the handles and lid. These perfora-
tions conceal a cavity below. If moisture pen-
etrates this cavity, it could cause the cook-
ware to crack.
▶ Only use microwave-safe cookware.
Cookware and containers made from metal or
cookware with metal edging may lead to
sparks being formed during simple mi-
crowave operation. The appliance is dam-
aged.
▶ Never use metal containers during mi-
crowave-only operation.
▶ Only use microwave-safe cookware.
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
The appliance uses a high voltage.
▶ Never remove the casing.
WARNING ‒ Risk of serious harm to
health!
Inadequate cleaning may destroy the surface
of the appliance, reduce its service life, and
lead to dangerous situations, such as escap-
ing microwave energy.
▶ Clean the appliance on a regular basis,
and remove any food residue immediately.
▶ Always keep the cooking compartment,
door and door stop clean.
