For example, heated slippers or pillows filled with
grain or cereals can catch fire even after several
hours.
POTS AND PANS

in the handles and cover.
There can be cavities hidden behind these holes. If
water gets into these cavities, the crockery could
break.
Do not use crockery that is unsuitable for microwave
ovens.
Danger of burns
The heat of the food can heat the dish. Always use a
pot holder to remove dishes and accessories from
the cooking chamber.

BEVERAGES
Danger of burns
When heating liquids, boiling can be delayed.
This means that the boiling temperature has been
reached without forming the typical little steam
bubbles. Even a slight knock can cause the sudden
overflow of liquid or sprays.
When heating liquids, always put a spoon in the
container to avoid delayed boiling.
Danger of explosion
Never heat beverages or other types of food in
covered containers.
Never heat alcoholic beverages excessively.
FOODS FOR NEWBORNS
Danger of burns
Never heat baby foods in a covered container. Always
remove the cover or nipple.
When finished heating, always carefully shake or mix
so that the heat is evenly distributed.
Test the temperature before giving the food to the
baby.
