 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.
 Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although
heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the mi-
crowaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the
container may be considerable, making the container itself hot. The
dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, always
check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of
the microwave. The temperature of the container is not an indication
of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly im-
portant when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly
or infirm. After reheating food, especially food for babies and small
children, stir the food or shake the container and check that the tem-
perature does not pose any danger. Double check after it has been
left to stand.
