∙ This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as the
- staff kitchens in shops, offices and other similar working environments,
- agricultural working environments,
- by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar accommodation,
- in bed-and breakfast type environments.
∙ Warning! Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave
radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons.
This includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. If
repairs are needed, please contact our customer service by phone or e-mail (see
separate warranty booklet).
∙ 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.
∙ 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 finished.
∙ Warning! 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 inflammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise
the appliance during operation. Highly volatile or inflammable 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 flames. 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 from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up
with the food.
∙ Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable
for use with microwave ovens.
