12.3.3 Danger of fire
caso M20
► Please bear in mind that the foods and liquids in the device
are mainly being heated when the microwave is in operation,
and not the container itself. Although the lid of a container is
not hot, the same amount of steam and spills can be created
on removing the lid as in a conventional cooking process
when you remove it from the device.
► Always check the temperature of the cooked food, especially
if you are heating up foods or liquids for babies. It is
advisable never to consume foods or liquids, directly after
they come out of the device. Wait a few minutes and stir the
food or liquid, to allow the heat to be distributed evenly.
► With certain foods, there is a danger of burns due to
superheating. With foods consisting of a mixture of fat and
water, such as broth, wait about 30 to 60 seconds before
removing the food from the device. This will allow the
mixture to settle. Thus, you avoid sudden bubbling up when
a spoon is inserted into the food or the liquid or after adding
a stock cube.
In order to prevent superheating, you can also place a metal
spoon into the cooking vessel prior to cooking. However,
bear in mind that the spoon must not make contact with any
parts of the device walls, as this could result in damages to
the device.
WARNING
There is a danger of fire due to the ignition of the content in
the event the device is not used properly.
Observe the following safety notices to avoid dangers of fire:
► Please bear in mind that the times for cooking, heating up,
defrosting using the device are frequently considerably
shorter than on a stove top or in the oven.
Leaving the device on for too long will result in foods drying
out and eventually self-igniting. There is then a danger of
fire!
The danger of fire is also present if bread, rolls, flowers or
herbs are being dried for too long.
► Do not warm up pillows or similar items filled with grains,
cherry pits or gel.
These items can ignite, even if they are removed out of the
device after they are warmed up.
► Do not warm up any alcohol in an undiluted state.
► Never the leave the device unsupervised if you are warming
up or cooking foods in disposable containers made of
plastic, paper or other flammable materials.
