Cooking Safety - General

§ Do not use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food
products.
§ The microwave oven is intended for heating food and
beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of
warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar
may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
§ Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked
too long. If smoke is emitted, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
§ Important! If the recommended cooking times are
exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme
circumstances could catch fire and possibly damage the
interior of the oven.
§ When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages
in your oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result
in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. Care must be taken
when handling the container.
§ Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not
be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode,
even after microwave heating has ended.
