To avoid the risk of explosion and sudden
boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers to avoid the risk of
explosion.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
•
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids
before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a
build up of pressure even after the oven has been
turned off.
•
Pay attention when microwaving liquids. Use a wide
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
N e v e r h e a t l i q u i d s i n n a r r o w n e c k e d
containers such as baby bottles, as this may
result in eruption of the contents from the
container when heated and cause burns.
•
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1. Do not use excessive cooking of time.
2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. nsert a glass rod or similar utensil(not metal) into I
the liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven
at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed
eruptive boiling.
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
microwave 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.
•
Pierce the skin of foods such as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the risk of burns:
WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption in
order to avoid burns.
•
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
•
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to
avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature
and stir before serving and pay special attention
to the temperature of food and drink given to
babies, children or the elderly. Accessible parts
may become hot during use. Young children
should be kept away.
•
The temperature of the container is not always a true
indication of the temperature of the food or drink;
always check the food or drink temperature.
•
Always stand back from the oven door when opening
it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
•
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
•
Keep children away from the door to prevent them
from burning themselves.
