Warning and Safety instructions
Heat-retaining packaging consists of, among other things, a thin
layer of aluminium foil. Microwaves are reflected by metal. This
reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to
become so hot that it ignites.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilled
chicken for warming food in the microwave oven.
If you cook eggs without their shells using microwave power, the
yolks could explode due to the resulting pressure. Prick the yolk
several times before cooking to avoid this.
Eggs heated in their shells using microwave power can burst,
even after they have been taken out of the oven. Eggs can only be
cooked in their shells in a specially designed egg-boiling device.
Do not reheat hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and aubergines can burst when heated. Pierce or score the
skin of these types of food several times to allow steam to escape.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.
However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the
microwave oven.
Do not use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid as these
are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very
easily.
To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process. Only
use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to measure the
temperature of the food.
The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live
electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam
cleaner to clean the appliance.
