Warning and Safety instructions

 It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking. During the
standing time the temperature is distributed evenly in the food.
 Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting
in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with tradi-
tional methods of cooking food.
Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and
burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard. There is
also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in
the microwave oven. Do not dry these items in the microwave oven.
 Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender
or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy can ignite when heated
even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. Do not
heat these up in the microwave oven. Fire hazard.
 The microwave oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting
items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning
when the item is removed from the appliance. Fire hazard.
 The appliance can be damaged if it is used without food being
placed in it or if it is incorrectly loaded. Therefore do not use the ap-
pliance to preheat crockery or to dry herbs or similar items.
 Always ensure that food or a suitable microwave browning dish
has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in
position before switching on.
 Pressure can build up when reheating in sealed containers, caus-
ing the container to explode. Never cook or reheat food or liquids in
sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be taken off.
