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.

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.

DO NOT STORE or use this appliance outdoors.

DO NOT USE this product near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or similar.

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.

USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent

burns, when touching containers, oven parts, and pan after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot during use, young children should be kept away.

LIQUIDS

E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. 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.

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!
