Safety tips
• To minimize the risk of fire in the appliance: When heating food in plastic or
paper containers, always keep an eye on the appliance when it is in operation,
as these materials can catch fire.
• When heating drinks in the appliance, bubbling may be delayed when the
drink boils. Therefore, be careful when handling the container.
To avoid sudden simmering:
– If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as long as it is being heated.
– To avoid an unexpected reboiling, leave the fluid to stand in the appliance
oven for ca. 20 seconds after being warmed up.
• Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages or similar. Otherwise, they could explode.
• Proceed with caution when warming up fluids. Use only open containers, so
that any air bubbles produced can escape.
• If the appliance starts to give off smoke it should be switched off immediately
or the plug removed from the mains and the door should be kept closed to
smother any flames that might otherwise escape.
