Important safety instructions
Piercing Skin
Food with non porous skins, such as
Q Q
potatoes, egg yolks and sausages
must be pierced before cooking by
MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.
Meat thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check
Q Q
the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry only when the meat has been
removed from the oven. Do not use a
conventional meat thermometer in the
microwave oven because it may cause
sparking.
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup,
Q Q
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 of
the hot 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 cooking
time.
d
After heating, allow it to stand
in the oven for a short time, stir
again before carefully removing
the container.
Paper/plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper
Q Q
containers, check the oven frequently
as these types of containers ignite if
overheated.
Do not use recycled paper products
Q Q
(e.g. Kitchen Roll) unless the paper
product is labelled as safe for
microwave oven use. Recycled paper
products may contain impurities which
may cause sparks and/or fires during
use.
Remove wire twist-ties from roasting
Q Q
bags before placing the bags in the
oven.
Utensils/foil
Do not heat any closed cans or bottles
Q Q
because they might explode.
Metal containers or dishes with
Q Q
metallic trim should not be used during
microwave cooking. Sparking will
occur.
If you use any aluminium foil, meat
Q Q
spikes or metalware the distance
between them and the oven walls
and door should be at least 2 cm to
prevent sparking.
Feeding bottles/baby food jars
The top and teat or lid must be
Q Q
removed from feeding bottles or baby
food jars before placing in the oven.
The contents of feeding bottles and
Q Q
baby food jars are to be stirred or
shaken.
The temperature has to be checked
Q Q
before consumption to avoid burns.
