This appliance is designed for domestic use only!
The appliance should not be operated without food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
The ventilation openings on the oven must not be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust vents may cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
If you practice operating the oven, put a glass of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.

PRECAUTIONS
LIQUIDS
E.g. beverages or water in
your microwave oven, 
overheating the liquid 
beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1.Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in the container.
3.After heating, allow standing for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.
CAREFUL
Always refer to a 
microwave cookbook (not 
included) for details. Especially, if cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the temperature before serving. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!
