Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPLOSION AND
SUDDEN BOILING:
WARNING
Liquids and other foods must not be heated
in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to
be taken when handling the container.
•
Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard
boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after micro-
wave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat
eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed,
pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may
explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before
reheating them in the microwave oven.
• To avoid burns, always test food temperature
and stir before serving. Pay special attention
to the temperature of food and drink given to
babies, children, or the elderly.
• Keep children away from the door to prevent
them from burning themselves.
• Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and
lids before use. Sealed containers can explode
due to a buildup of pressure even after the oven
has been turned off. Take care when microwav-
ing liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to
allow bubbles to escape.
•
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes,
sausages, and fruit before cooking or they may
explode.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
• Stir liquid prior to heating or reheating.
• It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil into the liquid while reheating.
• Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the
oven at the end of cooking time to prevent
delayed eruptive boiling.
