TO AVOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILING
WARNING! WHEN HEATING LIQUIDS, EG. 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 THE LIQUID.
TO PREVENT THIS POSSIBILITY THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHOULD BE
TAKEN:
a. AVOID USING STRAIGHT SIDED CONTAINERS WITH NARROW
NECKS.
b DO NOT OVERHEAT
c STIR THE LIQUID BEFORE PLACING THE CONTAINER IN THE
OVEN AND AGAIN HALFWAY THROUGH THE HEATING TIME.
d AFTER HEATING, ALLOW TO STAND IN THE OVEN FOR A SHORT
TIME, STIR OR SHAKE THEM AGAIN CAREFULLY AND CHECK THE
TEMEPERATURE OF THEM BEFORE CONSUMPTION TO AVOID
BURNS (ESPECIALLY, CONTENTS OF FEEDING BOTTLES AND
BABY FOOD JARS.
1. Eggs
Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will build up inside the shell during
cooking and the egg will explode.
If you want to cook or reheat eggs which have not been broken up by
scrambling or mixing, you must always pierce the yolks or these will also
explode. You should slice shelled hard boiled eggs before you reheat them
in your microwave oven.
2. Piercing
Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, potatoes,
tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you do not pierce them, steam will build
up inside and they may explode.
3. Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and take away food containers,
before you cook using your microwave oven. If you do not, then steam and
pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the
microwave cooking has stopped.

• Locate the microwave oven on a horizontal surface strong enough to
support the microwave oven’s weight and away from heat and steam
sources.
• There must be air spaces of 20 cm above the oven, 10 cm at the back
and 5 cm either side to provide sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place anything on top of the oven or block any vents. Do not
remove the feet.

COOKWARE GUIDE
• Tightly closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be
opened and plastic pouches pierced before cooking.
• Transparent containers are best for use in microwave ovens as they
allow energy to pass easily through the container and heat the food.
• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, therefore metal utensils or
dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain small metal
fragments which may cause sparks.
• For even cooking, round or oval dishes rather than square or oblong
ones are recommended.
• If you are unsure whether a utensil is suitable for use in the
microwave oven, carry out the following check:
1.Place the empty utensil in the oven and microwave on high for 30
seconds.
2.If the utensil becomes very hot, it is not suitable for use in the oven.
• The table below summarises the suitability of materials for microwave
cooking. If you are unsure check the utensil labelling or consult the
utensil manufacturer.
= cookware can be used in combination mode 2 (c-2), see “Grill +
Convection (C - 2)” on page 17.

MICROWAVE COOKING
Microwave Cooking Basics
Warning! The Grilling Rack must not be used in microwave cooking.
Do not cook directly on the glass tray. Place the food in a microwave proof
dish for example.
Arrange the food with the thickest areas to the outside of the dish. Cook for
the shortest indicated time but do not under-cook. Add extra time if required.
Severely over-cooked food can smoke and may ignite.
Cover food while cooking. The cover prevents spatter and helps the food to
cook more evenly.
Turn foods over during cooking to speed the cooking of products such as
hamburgers and chicken. Larger items, such as joints of meat must be turned
at least once.
Rearrange small items of food such as meatballs halfway through cooking.
Turn them over and move ones from the centre of the dish to the outside and
items from the top to the bottom of the dish.
Warning! Never operate the microwave when empty as this will cause
damage to the appliance.
Audible Tones
A single beep is sounded when a button on the Control panel is pressed.
The oven also emits beeps during operation to signify other events, such as
end of cooking, end of cooking phase, change in power setting etc.
