∙ Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave
radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualifi ed persons. This
includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit
must not be opened, except by qualifi ed personnel. If repairs are needed, please
send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can
be found in the appendix to this manual.
∙ When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond
boiling-point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to
exercise extreme caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them
from the oven.
The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod
in the container during the heating process.
∙ Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a
microwave oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating
process has fi nished.
∙ Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food
items in closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
∙ The contents of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly
stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid
painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a
child.
∙ When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such
as plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible
that food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat
or oil are also infl ammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise
the appliance during operation. Highly volatile or infl ammable liquids such as
concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
∙ Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or
smother any fl ames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the
wall socket.
∙ To prevent danger of burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when
removing food items from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat
up not only during use of the grill or hot-air functions, but also during microwave
operation.
∙ Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable
for use with microwave ovens.
