even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil can also ignite. It is therefore
important to constantly supervise the appliance during operation. Highly inflammable liquids
such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any
flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
To prevent burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food items from the
oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up not only during use of the grill, but also
during microwave operation.
Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with
microwave ovens.
