Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

EN

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety precautions are taken.

•Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens;

DO NOT use any metallic containers, Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings, Skewers, forks, etc.

Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags.

Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

•When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition;

Do not use your microwave oven to dry papers or clothes.

•Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time. If normal times are allowed they may overheat and burn.

•If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames;

•Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container; To prevent this situation

ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.

Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:

*Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

*Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

*Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

•NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

NEVER heat a babys bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.

•The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns;

•Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended;

Also do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers, nuts in shells, tomatoes etc.

•The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;

•Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation;

•DO NOT cover the ventilation slots with cloths or paper. They may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the oven.

The oven may overheat and automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

•ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven to avoid unintentional burn.
