Microwave; Children In The Home - V-ZUG Miwell V400 Operating Instructions Manual

1 Safety precautions
1.6

Microwave

▪ Microwave energy is safe when used
properly. When the appliance door is
opened, microwave operation is auto-
matically interrupted. In the event of a
malfunction or damage to the appli-
ance, especially to the appliance door,
do not use microwave operation. The
appliance must be repaired by qualified
personnel.
▪ Ensure that nothing is trapped between
the appliance door and the frame.
▪ Do not switch the microwave on until
you have put the food in the cooking
space.
Heating foods and liquids
▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended
when heating up or cooking food in
containers that are made of plastic, pa-
per or other flammable materials. The
containers can melt or ignite.
▪ Ignition hazard and danger of explo-
sion! Do not heat beverages or food
that contain alcohol.
▪ Scalding hazard! When heating liquids,
place a teaspoon in the vessel to pre-
vent delayed boiling (or superboiling).
With delayed boiling, boiling point is
reached without the typical steam
bubbles forming. Disturbing an open
vessel, even slightly, can cause the li-
quid to erupt.
▪ Do not use vessels with a narrow spout.
▪ Stir liquids halfway through heating and
when the time is up allow the vessel to
stand in the cooking space for a short
time. Stir the contents once more and
then take the vessel out of the cooking
space.
▪ Scalding hazard! Infant food in jars and
bottles must be heated without the lid,
top or teat. Infant food must be stirred
or shaken well after being heated up. It
is imperative to check the temperature
of the food before giving it to the infant!

▪ Do not heat food in tightly sealed con-
tainers (tins, bottles, sealed foil, paper
or metal disposable packaging). Re-
move plastic packaging before cooking
or defrosting foods. Sealed containers
are liable to explode. Always open the
containers.
▪ The cooking time depends on the
quantity, nature and initial temperature
of the food, as well the cookware being
used. Always start with the shorter
cooking time given to avoid overcook-
ing the food. Otherwise, smaller quantit-
ies or food with a low moisture content
can dry out and possibly ignite. If the
food has not reached the right stage of
cooking when the time is up, extend the
cooking time.
▪ Prick food with a skin or peel such as
potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, shell
food, etc. with a fork. Otherwise, the
steam that is produced will be unable to
escape and may cause the food to ex-
plode.
▪ Do not cook eggs in the shell. Do not
heat up boiled eggs. Eggs can explode
in the microwave. Crack the eggs open
and then whisk them. Pierce the yolks
of fried eggs.

Children in the home

▪ Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging
material away from children. Packaging
material, e.g. plastic film and poly-
styrene, can be dangerous for children.
▪ The appliance is designed for use by
adults who are familiar with these oper-
ating instructions. Children are often un-
able to recognize the danger of elec-
trical appliances. Ensure proper super-
vision and do not allow children to play
with the appliance – there is a danger
that children could hurt themselves.
