BEVERAGES
Danger of burns
When heating liquids, boiling may
be delayed. This means that the
boiling temperature has been
reached without forming the typ
-
ical little steam bubbles. Even
a slight knock could cause liquid to
overflow suddenly or splash. When
heating liquids, always put a spoon
in the container to prevent delayed
boiling.
Danger of explosion
Never heat beverages or other types of food in covered containers.
Never heat alcoholic beverages excessively.
BABY FOOD
Danger of burns
Never heat baby food in a covered container. Always remove the cover or
nipple.
When finished heating, always shake or stir carefully to ensure that heat is
evenly distributed.
Test the temperature before giving the food to the baby.
FOODS WITH SKIN OR PEEL
Danger of burns
Never cook eggs in the shell.
Never heat hard-boiled eggs, as they could explode even after the micro
-
wave is turned off. The same applies to shellfish and crustaceans.
When frying eggs, pierce the yolk first. In the case of foods with a hard peel
or skin like apples, tomatoes, potatoes or sausage, the peel or skin could
explode. Pierce the peel or skin before cooking.
DRYING FOODS
Danger of fire
Never dry food in the microwave.
FOODS WITH LOW WATER CONTENT
Danger of fire
Never defrost or heat foods with low water content, such as bread, for too
long or at an excessive power level.
OIL
Danger of fire
Never use the microwave to heat oil alone.
CAUSES OF DAMAGE
Juice leaking from fruit
When preparing desserts containing very juicy fruit, do not overfill the bak
-
ing dish. Fruit juice overflowing the baking dish can leave indelible stains.
Technical breakdown
Never use enamelled baking dishes in the microwave as they could cause
a technical breakdown.
Cooling with the door of the appliance open
The cooking chamber must only be cooled with the door closed. Check
that nothing is stuck on the door of the appliance.
Even if the door is only ajar, nearby cabinets could be damaged over time.
Very dirty gasket seal
If the gasket seal is very dirty, the door of the appliance will not close
correctly during operation. The surfaces of nearby cabinets could be
damaged. Always keep the gasket seal clean.
Using the door of the appliance as a support surface
Do not rest or lean on the open door of the appliance and do not put dishes
or accessories on it.
Using the microwave without food inside
Only turn on the microwave after you have put the food in the cooking
compartment. Without food inside, the appliance can become overloaded.
The only exceptions allowed are brief tests of dishes (in this regard, refer
to the warnings about pots and pans).
Moist foods
Do not leave moist foods in the cooking compartment for extended
periods of time.
