Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the microwave function to heat up cushions or
pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or gel, such as
those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated
even after they have been removed from the oven.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the
appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do
not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow re-
cesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.
However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in Mi-
crowave mode.
Fire hazard. Using microwave power with plastic dishes which are
not microwave safe can cause them to melt and damage the appli-
ance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing
metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper
covered wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots
with the foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for
microwave use).
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when heating or cooking
food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflam-
mable materials using the Microwave function .
Before using single-use containers make sure they are suitable for
microwave use. See "Suitable containers for microwave use -
Plastics".
Do not heat food in the steam oven in heat-retaining bags which
are intended for use in normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium
foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
