• Hot steam will escape when you open the microwave door. Do not stand too close.
• The surfaces of the microwave, 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.

Safety instructions on the heating of liquids

CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
There is a risk of burns.

• WARNING! When warming up liquids in the microwave, socalled “delayed boiling” can occur, i.e. the liquid has reached boiling temperature without beginning to bubble as boiling liquids normally do. Movements, such as those occurring when removing the liquid from the microwave, can then cause a sudden reaction, causing boiling liquid to spurt out, which is why caution is required when handling the container.
• Do not use tall, narrow containers.
• Place a glass rod or ceramic rod in the container when heating liquids in order to prevent delayed boiling.
  Wait a few moments after heating the liquid then take hold of the container carefully and stir the liquid before you take it out of the cooking compartment.
