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"
(25mm) from the appliance 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:
¡ 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
5minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
¡ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the appliance.
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 appliance 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 corn
popper.
– Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a
brand suitable for the wattage of your appliance.
– Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn.
– Do not leave the appliance unattended.
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function.
▶ Set the appliance 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 a microwave. 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 the appliance. Oil can be
heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a
microwave. 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 appliance
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 the microwave for home canning or
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and
the jar may explode. In addition, the appliance
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 low moisture content can dry out, burn
or catch on fire. Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or
vegetables in your appliance.
