IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
▶
When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon
in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1"
(25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with your
microwave oven:
¡ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may
not require the same amount of time to heat up.
¡ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
¡ Stir or turn the food several times during cooking.
Check the temperature.
¡ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
¡ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
2.11 Cooking items
Follow these safety instructions when cooking food in your
microwave to avoid injury.
¡ Eggs:
– Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them
to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause
injury.
– Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking
scrambled eggs is safe.
¡ Popcorn:
– Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled
for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven
corn popper.
– Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use a
brand suitable for the wattage of your oven.
– Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn.
– Do not leave oven unattended.
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function.
▶
Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If
these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not
pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
¡ Foods with non-porous skins:
Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole
squash and sausages are examples of foods with
nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced
before cooking to prevent them from exploding.
¡ Baby food / Baby formula:
Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven.
The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm
while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and
esophagus.
¡ Deep fat frying:
– Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated
beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a
microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high
enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective
flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil
may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to
the oven and perhaps result in burns.
– Additionally, microwave–safe utensils may not be
able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and
could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a
slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
¡ Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of
foods:
– Do not use microwave oven for home canning or
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and
the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature.
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous
to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with
en-us
