Attempt to cook or warm up eggs in their shells, hard-boiled eggs with or without their shells or
snails - they may explode.
Attempt to cook food in an intact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin (tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) -
always make a slit.
Food temperatures
The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The container may, therefore, remain cold
or cool while the food that it contains is burning hot.
To avoid any risk of burning, always stir before serving and check the temperature carefully before
serving - especially to children.
Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to check the temperature.
Preparing food for cooking
Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers.
Remember to cover the food in order to:
avoid any splashing of the oven cavity,
retain sufficient moisture for cooking.
Heating liquids
When heating liquids, a sudden overflow may occur when you take the container to remove it from the
appliance. In fact, when the temperature reaches boiling point, steam tends to remain trapped in the
liquid until it is disturbed.
To avoid this superheating effect and the consequent risk of scalding, always place a plastic spoon in the
liquid to be heated.
A container can easily be tested for microwave "transparency":
Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of water and run the oven for one
minute at maximum power.
After one minute:
if the container is cold, it is "transparent" and can be used for microwave cooking,
if the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used for microwave cooking.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the microwave
oven from the mains supply and allow it to cool to room temperature.
General Advice
Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and bad odours during cooking and
also sparking in the oven cavity and around the door seal.
Do not let food deposits or grease accumulate inside the oven cavity or on the door
seal.
Make sure that the waveguide cover is kept clean at all times. Should food deposits or
