SAFETY (CONTINUED)
Never switch the microwave on if it is empty as this may
•
damage the microwave.
Remove metal strips from plastic bags and use bowls and
•
dishes that are microwave safe.
Always fi rst check on the packaging how food should be
•
placed in the microwave. In general, liquids or foodstuff s
in air-tight packaging may only be heated after pricking
a few holes in the packaging. This is because pressure
builds up during heating.
Liquids and other foodstuff s may not be heated in airtight
•
packaging as they can explode.
Keep an eye on the microwave when heating foodstuff s
•
in plastic or paper packaging, in connection with the
possibility of combustion.
Never heat longer than necessary, and remember that
•
food continues to cook after it is removed from heat.
Prick the skin of meat, chicken or fi sh with a fork or other
•
pointed object. This prevents spitting.
The microwave should be cleaned regularly and all food
•
remains should be removed. Remnants of crumbs and
moisture absorb microwaves and increase cooking time.
Food remnants can also damage the interior which may
result in hazardous situations.
A microwave is not suitable for:
preserving foods;
•
cooking eggs in the shell or warming up hard-boiled
•
eggs, as they shatter through pressure build-up;
heating of frying oil.
•
Safe use of oven/Steam oven
Keep children at a safe distance from the oven during
•
baking or roasting. The oven becomes hot during use.
Do not touch the elements and the interior until the oven
has cooled completely.
The outside of the oven may become hot if it is used for
•
a long period of time at high temperatures. If the oven is
used at the maximum temperature for a long time (when
grilling, for example), the glass panel in the oven door
may become hot. Please be careful if children are around
