Safety precautions
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on
the oven, as such packaging may ignite.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling. Therefore, take care when handling the container with the
heated beverage. To prevent this, place a non-metal object (e.g., a
wooden, glass, or plastic spoon) into the container during the
heating-up process.
To avoid burns, the contents of baby bottles and baby food jars
should be shaken or stirred, and their temperature checked before
feeding.
Eggs in their shell should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.
If you observe smoke, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep
the oven door closed to stifle any flames.
The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages.
Drying food or clothing and heating of hot packs or pads, slippers,
sponges, moist cloths etc. may result in injury, ignition, or fire.
The oven should be cleaned regularly, and any food deposits should
be removed.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
If the appliance is integrated into a kitchen cupboard with a door,
the cupboard door should be open while the appliance is in use.
