When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye
on the oven, as such packaging may ignite.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling. Therefore, take care when handling the container with
the heated beverage. To prevent this, place a non-metal object
(e.g., a wooden, glass, or plastic spoon) into the container
during the heating-up process.
To avoid burns, the contents of baby bottles and baby food
jars should be shaken or stirred, and their temperature checked
before feeding.
Eggs in their shell should not be heated in microwave ovens
since they may explode even after microwave heating has
ended.
If you observe smoke, switch off or unplug the appliance and
keep the oven door closed to stifle any flames.
The microwave oven is intended for heating food and
beverages. Drying food or clothing and heating of hot packs
or pads, slippers, sponges, moist cloths etc. may result in injury,
ignition, or fire.
The oven should be cleaned regularly, and any food deposits
should be 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.
If the appliance is integrated into a kitchen cupboard with a
door, the cupboard door should be open while the appliance
is in use.
