DEEP-FRYING
• Do not use your microwave oven for deep-frying,
because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
• Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and pan
after cooking. Accessible parts may become hot

LIQUIDS
• e.g. beverages or water.
Overheating the liquid beyond
When you put food and accessories in the microwave
oven, ensure that they do not come in contact with the
interior of the oven.

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. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain in
the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.
• After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle or in a
baby food jar, always stir and
check the temperature before

Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic lms or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the oven as
long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal
twist ties).
The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil if they start to become warm (e.g.
chicken legs and wing tips).
Turn large joints halfway through the defrosting
process.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better
if stirred during defrosting time.
When defrosting it is better to under-thaw the
food slightly and allow the process to nish during
standing time.
Standing time after defrosting always improves
the result since the temperature will then be
evenly distributed throughout the food.
FROZEN FOODS:
If the weight is lesser or greater than recommended weight: Follow the procedure for “Cook & Reheat with microwaves” and choose 160 W when
defrosting.
If the food is warmer than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C), choose lower weight of the food.
If the food is colder than deep-freeze temperature
(-18°C), choose higher weight of the food.
