3.3. Safety instructions re-
lating specifi cally to the
use of microwaves
WARNING! Do not heat up
food or liquids in sealed or
tightly closed containers!
These can explode in the
appliance and cause injuries
on opening. Remove the lids
from containers which close,
such as feeding bottles for
babies.
Food prepared in the micro-
wave may heat up unevenly.
Check the temperature of
food before eating. When
preparing baby food and
bottles, always stir the food
or shake the bottle before
checking the temperature in
order to avoid burns.
Do not heat eggs in their
shells or prepare whole
hard-boiled eggs in the
microwave as they may ex-
plode while cooking and
even after removal from the
microwave. Eggs may only
be cooked in microwave
dishes designed specifically
for this purpose.

Prick or score food with a
tough skin, e.g. tomatoes,
sausages, aubergines, etc.
before cooking in order to
prevent it from bursting.
Hot steam will escape when
you open cooking contain-
ers (e.g. popcorn bags, food
storage containers). Always
hold the opening away from
your body as you open the
container.
Hot steam will escape when
you open the microwave
door. Do not stand too close.
The surfaces of the micro-
wave, the accessory parts,
as well as the dishes will
become very hot during the
cooking process. Use oven
gloves. Allow parts to cool
down before cleaning.
