Miele m 638 ec Microwave Oven User Manual


 
Do not use the microwave to heat
up herb cushions or pads filled
with wheat grains or lavender, such as
those used in aromatherapy. These
pads can ignite when heated even after
they have been removed from the mi
-
crowave.
Fire hazard!
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. The lack of food or
incorrect loading could cause damage
to the appliance.
Never cook or reheat food or liq-
uids in sealed containers or bot-
tles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be removed.
Otherwise pressure builds up which
can cause the bottle or container to ex-
plode posing a severe risk of injury.
Before serving remember to allow a
sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the
actual food itself after taking it out of the
microwave. The temperature of the con
-
tainer is not an indication of the temper
-
ature of the food or liquid in it. This is
particularly important when prepar
-
ing food for babies, children, and the
elderly or infirm.
When heating liquids, the boiling
rod provided should be placed into
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,
in the oven without the boiling rod, the
boiling point of the liquid may be
reached without the production of typi-
cal bubbles. The liquid does not boil
evenly throughout.
This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause
a sudden build up of bubbles, when the
container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid boil
-
ing over suddenly and explosively. Dan
-
ger of burning.
The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the oven
door open. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid
boils evenly and that bubbles form at
an early stage during the operation.
