Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the Microwave function to heat up cushions or
pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, 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 in the oven interior. Cancel the cooking process by switching
the appliance off, then switch off at the socket and remove the plug.
Do not open the appliance 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
recesses 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 the
oven.
Fire hazard! Using microwave power with plastic dishes which are
not microwave safe can cause them to melt and damage the
appliance. 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 reheating or
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable 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 reheat food in the 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.
