Using the appliance

Notes on using the appliance
in microwave mode
Under no circumstances may the appliance be
operated empty. This is very dangerous!
Heating liquids
When heating liquids with microwaves, boiling delay can
occur, i.e. a liquid can reach very high temperatures
over 100°C without boiling visibly, but suddenly boil over
with bubbling at the slightest touch.
To avoid the risk of scalding, put a metal teaspoon wit-
hout sharp edges, tips or thin elements into the liquid.
This provides so-called boiling nuclei, which prevents
the boiling delay.
Keep an eye on the cooking process (in case of sparking
or arcing due to non-observance of the instructions
on the shape of the spoon, switch off the appliance
immediately).
Cookware and materials

that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
For this purpose, please refer exactly to the following
