reaches the boiling temperature without the
usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently shaking
the container. The hot liquid may suddenly
boil over and splatter.
▶ Always place a spoon in the container
when heating liquids. This prevents delayed
boiling.
WARNING‒Risk of injury!

compartment may lead to overloading.
▶ Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in
immediate succession at a microwave power level that
is too high, the cooking compartment may be damaged.
▶ Leave the appliance to cool down for several
minutes between each use.
