Always remember that cooking
times in a microwave oven are usu
-
ally considerably shorter than with tradi
-
tional methods of food preparation. Ex
-
cessively long cooking times can lead
to food drying out and eventually burn
-
ing, or could even cause it to catch fire.
There is also a danger of fire if
breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, grains
etc., are dried in the microwave oven.
Always ensure that this type of proce
-
dure is supervised.
Exercise caution when cooking or
reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelise or ignite.
Do not use full power if you warm
empty dishes or dry herbs. The
lack or minimum amount of food could
cause damage to the appliance.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils and fats as
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to
overheat.
If smoke occurs in the oven, to
avoid fuelling any flame do not
open the oven door. Turn the function
selector to "0", or switch off at the mains
and remove the plug from the socket.
Do not open the oven door until the
smoke has dispersed.
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave oven as this can easily
ignite.
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food in the oven as pressure will
build up in the tin and it can explode.
This could result in injury or damage.
Food left in the oven to take advan
-
tage of residual heat should always
be covered to avoid it drying out, and
to avoid a possible build-up of conden
-
sation which could adversely affect the
oven interior.
Try to avoid the interior walls being
splashed with food or liquids con
-
taining salt. If it does happen wipe
these away thoroughly, to avoid corro
-
sion on the stainless steel surface.
Wear oven gloves when removing
the glass tray from the oven. If the
glass tray has a heavy load, pull it only
slightly towards you, and then hold
firmly at the sides as you take it out.
The glass dish and the rack take a
maximum load of 8 kg. Do not ex-
ceed this or the accessories may be
damaged.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven
door. This could damage the appli
-
ance. Take care in the region of the
hinges. An oven door can support a
maximum load of 8 kg.
When it is hot do not place the
glass tray on a cold surface, such
as a tile or granite worktop. It could
break. Place it on a pot rest or a wire
rack.
