PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
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.

DEEP-FRYING
Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying, because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking.
LIQUIDS

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 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.
