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.
~
Do not use any containers or cutlery
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 plastic pots with the foil lid only
partially removed.
Such items could be damaged or
cause a fire hazard.
~
Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic,
paper or other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use containers
make sure they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. See "Suitable
containers for microwave ovens".
~
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated using microwave power as
this may lead to the eggs exploding,
even after they have been taken out of
the oven.
~
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells using microwave heat only if the
yolk membrane has been punctured
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 potatoes
and aubergines, should be pierced or
the skin cut in several places before
cooking to allow steam to escape and
prevent the food from bursting.
~
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags intended for use in
normal ovens. These heat-retaining
bags usually contain a thin layer of
aluminium foil which reflects
microwaves. This reflected energy can,
in turn, cause the outer paper covering
to become so hot that it ignites.
