Miele M 8161-1 Microwave Oven User Manual


 
~
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 oven 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 oven 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 oven
door open, with a danger of burning.
The boiling rod ensures that bubbles
are produced, and that liquids heat
evenly.
~
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not
open the oven door if smoke occurs in
the oven interior.
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, as this can easily ignite.
Fire hazard.
~
Do not heat up tins in the
microwave. Pressure can build up and
they may explode, resulting in injury or
damage.
~
Cover any food which is left in the
microwave to be kept hot, as moisture
in the food could lead to corrosion
damage in the microwave. This also
prevents the food from drying out.
~
Try to avoid the interior walls being
splashed with food or liquids containing
salt. If it does happen, wipe these away
thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the
stainless steel surface.
