against the inside of the microwave.
• Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment is causing sparks.

WARNING: When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the
oven due to the possibility of ignition.

• Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass
can explode.

microwave unattended when in use.

Extra care must be taken when preparing food or drink for babies and small
children.
• Always test the food or liquid temperature before feeding it to the baby.
• When using a baby bottle, ensure the teat is removed before heating.

the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
