If smoke occurs in the oven interior,
to avoid fuelling any flame do not
open the oven door.
Interrupt the process (by pressing the
Stop/C button twice). Switch off at the
wall socket and where applicable, re
-
move the plug. Do not open the oven
door until the smoke has dispersed.
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave oven as this can easily
ignite. This is a fire hazard.
Do not heat up tins in the micro
-
wave oven. Pressure can build up
and they may explode. This could result
in injury or damage.
Do not use any containers or cut-
lery made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware,
temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden
utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire
ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims,
or cream pots with the foil lid only par-
tially removed.
Such items could be damaged, or
cause a fire hazard.
The rack supplied with the appliance is
designed to be compatible with micro
-
waves, and can therefore be used for
grilling with or without the microwave
function.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic,
paper or other inflammable material.
Before using single use containers
make sure they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. See appropriate sec
-
tion.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops. Simi
-
larly, hard-boiled eggs should not be
reheated in the microwave as this may
lead to the eggs bursting, even once
they have been removed from the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if
the yolk membrane has been punc-
tured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause
the egg yolk to explode.
Danger of injury.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket po
-
tatoes and aubergines, should be
pierced or the skin cut in several places
before cooking to allow steam to es
-
cape and prevent the food from burst
-
ing.
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags, such as those
used for ready grilled chicken or naan
bread from take-aways which are in
-
tended for use in normal ovens. These
heat-retaining bags usually contain a
thin layer of aluminium foil which re
-
flects microwaves. This reflected en
-
ergy can, in turn, cause the outer paper
covering to become so hot that it ig
-
nites.
