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 specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unatten-
ded.
• 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.
