IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Always ensure that food is sufficiently heated.
Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the type,
amount and nature of the food, its initial temperature, and changes
to the recipe. Some foods may contain microorganisms which are
only destroyed by thorough cooking. Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food, it is particularly important that food is heated at
adequate temperatures for a sufficient amount of time. When in
doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
You can ensure this by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting, or cooking.
During the standing time, the temperature is distributed evenly in the
food.
Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting
in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than in the
case of traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or may even
cause it to catch fire.
Do not dry bread, rolls, flowers, herbs, etc., in the microwave oven
as these could also catch fire.
When heating food, and in particular liquids, using microwave
power, the boiling point may be reached without the typical bubbles
being produced. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This
boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling over explosively. Take
care when taking the container out of the microwave oven, as the
hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under certain circumstances,
the pressure can be so high that the door opens automatically.
Stir liquids well before heating or cooking. After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the container from the microwave oven.
In addition, you can place a glass rod or similar item, if available, in
the container during the heating process.
