Utensil safety
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
a microwave oven.
Arcing in the oven during microwave
operation usually occurs from use of
metallic utensils. Continuous arcing,
however, can damage the unit. Stop the
programme and check the utensil.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-
resistant glassware utewnsils are excellent
for use in the microwave oven. Although
microwave ener-gy will not heat most glass
and ceramic items, these utensils can
become hot as heat transfers from the food
to the container. The use of oven gloves to
remove dishes is recommended.
Food safety
• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave
oven. Always remove the food to a suitable
container.
• Deep fat frying should not be done
in the microwave oven, because the
fat temperature cannot be controlled,
hazardous situations can result.

• Popcorn may be prepared in the
microwave oven, but only in special
packages or utensils designed
specifi cally for this purpose. This cooking
operation should never be unattended.
• Pierce foods with nonporous skins or
membranes to prevent steam buildup
and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken
livers, and egg yolks are examples of
items that should be pierced.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars are to be stirred or shaken and
the temperature is to be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Warning! Liquids or other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
Warning! Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
Warning! When heating liquids, e.g.
soups, 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:
1. Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in
the oven for a short time, stirring
again before carefully removing the
container.
Warning! Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers –
for example, closed glass jars – may
explode and should not be heated in
this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs
may explode during cooking. Always
pierce the yolk, then cover and allow
the standing time of one minute before
removing cover.
