GB 7
Remove metal twists from plastic bags and use dishes and
plates that are suitable for the microwave oven.
You should only heat liquids in airtight packaging after first
pricking a few holes in the packaging. This is because of the
increase in pressure during heating.
Do not heat food for longer than is necessary; allow for the
'continued cooking'.
Prick the skin of meat, chicken and fish with a fork or other
pointed object. This prevents these foods spattering.
You can open the door when the microwave function is
switched on; the microwave function then switches off
automatically and the time set is stopped.
Not all materials can be used in the combi-microwave oven.
The table below shows which materials can be used and
which materials cannot be used.

* Use undecorated kitchen paper to cover a dish or to place
under bread when defrosting.
** By covering thinner parts of foods (such as chicken legs),
you prevent them from cooking too quickly.

GB 6
when using the microwave function
Place a plastic spoon in the cup if you want to boil a liquid
(water, for example).
The liquid may boil without you seeing any bubbles. As soon
as you take the cup out of the oven, the liquid may suddenly
start to boil violently and splash out of the cup, with the risk
of you getting scalded.
The content of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be
stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a trained person.
Do not use the microwave oven if there is any (hidden)
damage to the door, the hinges and catch (defective or loose)
or the seal.
You should only use the microwave oven for defrosting and
cooking food and not, for example, for drying clothes or
paper. Clothes or paper could catch fire.
If you heat small quantities of dry or powdery products in the
microwave oven (when drying herbs, for example), there is a
chance that they will spontaneously combust.
If something in the combi-oven catches fire, switch the
microwave oven off and take the plug out of the socket.
Keep the oven door closed.
Do not switch the microwave function on if the combi-oven is
empty. The oven could be damaged.
A microwave oven is not suitable for:
– preserving food
– cooking eggs in their shells, because they will burst due
to the increase in pressure;
– heating oil for deep frying.
