PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no

A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after
heating.
Reason
:
During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this
means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed
from the oven. You may scald yourself.

In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
