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.
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.
Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
DEEP-FRYING
Do not use your microwave 
oven for deep-frying, 
because the oil temperature
cannot be controlled.
LIQUIDS
When heating beverages or 
water in your microwave 
oven, overheating of 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
During use of the oven, utensils and oven parts, may become hot. Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking.
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.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!
