Safety instructions on the heating of liquids

Risk of injury!
There is a risk of burns.

• When warming up liquids in the microwave, so-called "delayed boiling" can occur, i.e. the liquid has reached boiling temperature without beginning to bubble as boiling liquids normally do. Movements, such as those generated when removing the liquid from the microwave, can then cause a sudden reaction, causing boiling liquid to spurt out, which is why caution is required when handling the container.
• Do not use tall, narrow containers.
• Place a glass rod or ceramic rod in the container when heating liquids in order to prevent delayed boiling. After heating up, wait for a short while, carefully tap the container and stir the liquid before removing the container from the microwave.

Cleaning and maintaining the appliance

• Observe the instructions for cleaning when cleaning the cooking compartment as well as the adjacent parts, see "Cleaning and care".

Package contents

Risk of injury!
There is a risk of choking and suffocation due to swallowing or inhaling small parts or plastic wrap.

• Keep all packaging materials used (bag, pieces of polystyrene etc.) out of the reach of children.
• Do not allow children to play with the packaging material.

→ Remove the product from the packaging and remove all packaging material.

→ Check your purchase to ensure that all items are included. If anything is missing, please contact us within 14 days of purchase.

• Microwave MD 14482
• Turntable plate, incl. roller ring

Cooking in the microwave

→ In order to correctly arrange the food to be cooked, place the thickest pieces on the outside.

→ Note the exact cooking or heating times.

→ Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if necessary.

→ Cover food during cooking or heating with a microwave-safe cover. Covering the food helps avoid splashes; furthermore, the food is more evenly cooked.

→ Turn foods such as chicken pieces or hamburgers once when cooking in the microwave in order to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such as joints or roasting chickens must be turned at least once to ensure that the food is cooked evenly.

→ It is also important to reposition food, e.g. if cooking meatballs: After half of the cooking time has elapsed, reposition the food from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside.

→ After heating, stir the food thoroughly, if possible, to ensure even temperatures, otherwise let the food stand for a short time.

Size and shape of microwave-safe containers

Flat, broad containers are better than narrow, tall ones. "Flat" foods can be cooked more evenly.

Round or oval containers are more suitable than angular ones. There is a danger of local overheating in the corners.

Microwave-suitable materials

Use the following utensils in the microwave:

• Browning dishes
• Crockery
• Glass containers without a lid
• Oven-safe glassware
• Oven-safe cooking bags
• Paper bags and cups (only for brief warming up)
• Paper towel (only for covering foods and for soaking up grease)
• Microwave-safe plastic containers
• Microwave-safe plastic packaging
• Microwave-safe thermometer
• Wax paper (only for covering foods)

Always note the manufacturer's instructions.

NOTICE!
Possible material damage!
The use of unsuitable materials can cause damage to the appliance or the material itself.

• Never use metal dishes or dishes with metal trimmings.
• Do not use crystal or lead crystal glass. It can shatter, and coloured glass may become discoloured.
