always keep an eye on the microwave when it
is in operation, as these materials can catch fire.
•
•
Never insert foreign objects into the ventilation
openings or the door safety locks.
•
When heating drinks in the microwave, bubbling
may be delayed when the drink boils. Therefore,
be careful when handling the container.
To avoid sudden simmering:
Do not use metallic utensils which reflect micro-
waves and lead to sparking. Do not place tins
in the microwave oven.
•
Do not place plastic containers in the microwave
oven immediately after a grill, combi or automatic
menu process. The plastic could melt.
- If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as
long as it is being heated.
•
•
This microwave oven may not be located in areas
with high humidity or where moisture could collect.
- To avoid an unexpected reboiling, leave the
fluid to stand in the microwave oven for
ca. 20 seconds after being warmed up.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in air-
tight containers, as these may explode and
damage the appliance.
•
•
Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages or similar.
Otherwise, they could explode.
•
•
Do not lean on the microwave oven door.
Proceed with caution when warming up fluids.
Use only open containers, so that any air bubbles
produced can escape.
Insufficient cleanliness of the appliance could lead
to the destruction of the upper surfaces, which
themselves influence its useful lifespan and could
possibly also lead to dangerous situations.
•
Should you notice smoke, switch the appliance
off or remove the plug from the socket and
keep the door closed to suffocate any possible
flames.
