Safety Instructions
Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwa-
ve oven. Always remove the food to a
suitable container.
Do not use the appliance for deep fat fry-
ing, because the fat temperature cannot
be controlled, and hazardous situations
can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwa-
ve oven, but only in special packages or
utensils designed specifically for this pur-
pose.This cooking operation should never
be left un attended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or
membranes to prevent steam build-up
and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken
livers, and egg yolks are examples of
items that should be pierced.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars are to be stirred or shaken and
the temperature is to be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups,
sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the
liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should
be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the contai-
ner in the oven and again halfway
through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven
for a short time, stirring again before
carefully removing the container.
Some products such as whole eggs
and sealed containers – for examp-
le, closed glass jars – may explode
and should not be heated in this
oven. Occasionally, poached eggs
may explode during cooking. Always
pierce the yolk, then cover and allow
the standing time of one minute
before removing cover.
Keep these instructions!
