caution when opening the
appliance door, letting the hot
air or steam exit gradually
before accessing the
appliance. Do not obstruct the
vent apertures.

- Use oven gloves to remove
pans and accessories, taking
care not to touch the heating
elements.

- Do not place ammable
materials in or near the
appliance: a re may break out
if the appliance is
inadvertently switched on.

- Do not use the microwave
oven for heating anything in
airtight sealed containers.
The pressure increases and
may cause damage when
opening or may explode.

- Do not use the microwave
oven for drying textiles, paper,
spices, herbs, wood, owers,
fruit or other combustible
materials. Fire could result.

- Do not leave the appliance
unattended, especially when
using paper, plastic or other
combustible materials in the
cooking process. Paper can
char or burn and some plastics
can melt if used when heating
foods.

- Use containers suitable for use
in a microwave oven only.

- Overheating the liquid beyond
boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid.

- Do not use microwave oven
for deep-frying, because the
oil temperature cannot be
controlled.

- After heating baby food or
liquids in a baby bottle or in a
baby food jar, always stir and
check the temperature before
serving. Ensure the lid and the
teat is removed before
heating.

- If alcoholic beverages are
used when cooking foods
(e.g. rum, cognac, wine),
remember that alcohol
evaporates at high
temperatures. As a result,
there is a risk that vapors
released by the alcohol may
catch re upon coming into
contact with the electrical
heating element.

- Overheated oils and fats catch
re easily. Always remain
vigilant when cooking foods
rich in fat, oil or alcohol
(e.g. rum, cognac, wine).

- Do not use microwave oven
for cooking or reheating
whole eggs with or without
shell since they may explode
even after microwave heating
has ended.

CLING FILM AND BAGS

remove wire TwisT-Ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing the bag in the microwave oven
cavity.

cling film shoulD be scoreD or pricked with a fork

to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting
because steam builds up during cooking.

COOKING FOOD

since microwaves penetrate the food to a limited

depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at
once, arrange the pieces in a circle to create
more outside pieces.

small pieces cook more quickly than large pieces.

for standing time to complete the cooking.

sTirring is usually necessary during microwave
cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked
portions on the outside edges towards the
centre and the less-cooked centre portions
towards the outside.

place Thin slices of meaT on top of each other or
interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf
and sausages have to be placed close to each
other.

LIQUIDS

liquiDs may overheaT beyond boiling point
without visibly bubbling. This could cause hot
liquids to suddenly boil over.

To prevenT This possibiliTy:

Avoid using straight-sided containers with

q

narrow necks.

Stir the liquid before placing the container

removing the container from the
microwave oven.

BABY FOOD

afTer heaTing baby fooD or liquids in a baby bottle

or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.

This will ensure that the heat is evenly

distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or
burns.

ensure that the lid and the teat are removed
before heating.

FROZEN FOOD

for besT resulTs, we recommend defrosting
directly on the glass turntable. If needed, it is
possible to use a light-plastic container that is
suitable for microwave.
