be placed on an upturned non-metallic ovenproof plate.
There should be no metal to metal contact during the
microwave cooking process.

or more, allow it to cool before using it again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot during
use, take great care when removing either from the
oven.

that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than
you are accustomed to; always ensure that the food is

Food safety
• The basic rules to remember when reheating foods are :
cover, stir, turn where possible, and allow standing time.
Always cook food until it is piping hot throughout.
• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
Always place in a suitable container.
• When warming :
- baby bottles, be sure to remove the teat, shake the
liquid and test the temperature on the back of your
hand before feeding.
- children's foods, it is essential to stir and verify the
temperature before consumption to avoid serious inter¬
nal bums.
• Do not heat or cook boiled, coddled eggs or fried
eggs. They can burst and cause serious bums or damage
to your oven.
• It is necessary to cover foods in most cases, to keep in
the heat and moisture. They will be tastier and your
oven will stay cleaner. However, airtight containers
should not be used in the oven.
