Never cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be loosened. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode,
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
container is not an indication of the
temperature of the food or liquid in it.
This is particularly important when
preparing food for babies, children,
and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir
baby milk and food thoroughly after
heating, and try it for temperature to
ensure that it will not scald the baby.
When heating food and drinks,
remember that the heat is created in
the food itself, and that the container
will normally be cooler. The dish is only
warmed by the heat of the food.
~
When heating liquids, the boiling rod
provided should always be placed into
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.
in the microwave without the boiling
rod, the boiling point of the liquid may
be reached without the production of
typical 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 microwave or
shaken, which can lead to the liquid
boiling over suddenly and explosively.
Danger of burning.
The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the
microwave door open, with a danger of
injury and damage.
The boiling rod ensures that bubbles
are produced, and that liquids heat
evenly.
~
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not
open the microwave door if smoke
occurs inside the microwave.
Interrupt the process by pressing the
Stop/C button twice. Switch off at the
wall socket, and where applicable,
remove the plug. Do not open the door
until the smoke has dispersed.
~
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave oven as this can easily
ignite. Fire hazard.
~
Do not heat up tins in the microwave
oven. Pressure can build up and they
may explode, resulting in injury or
damage.
~
Cover any food which is left in the
appliance to be kept hot, as moisture in
the food could lead to corrosion
damage in the appliance. This also
prevents the food from drying out.
