Miele H 115 MB Operating Instructions Manual page 11

Never cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers or
bottles. With baby bottles the screw top
teat must be removed. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode pos-
ing a severe risk of injury.
When heating liquids, the boiling
rod provided should be placed
into the container.
When heating, and especially reheating
liquids, milk, sauces etc., in the micro-
wave oven, the boiling point of the liq-
uid may be reached without the produc-
tion of typical bubbles. The liquid does
not boil evenly throughout. This so-
called 'boiling delay' can cause a sud-
den build up of bubbles, when the con-
tainer is shaken on removal from the
oven. This can lead to the liquid boiling
over suddenly and explosively. There is
a danger of burning. The formation of
bubbles can be so strong that the
pressure forces the oven door open.
The user could be injured and the ap-
pliance damaged.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid
boils evenly and that bubbles form at
an early stage during the operation.
Do not use any containers or cut-
lery made from or containing met-
al, aluminium foil, lead crystal glass-
ware, temperature-sensitive plastics,
wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips
or wire ties. Such items could be dam-
aged, or cause a fire hazard.
The rack supplied with the appliance is
designed to be compatible with micro-
waves, and can therefore be used with
the combined microwave and browning
functions.
The rack gets hot when operating
either the microwave function or
the browning element, or both. There is
a danger of burning.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated in the microwave oven as
this may lead to the eggs bursting,
even once they have been removed
from the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if
the yolk membrane has been punc-
tured several times first. The pressure
would otherwise cause the egg yolk to
explode.
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags intended for
normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually con-
tain a thin layer of aluminium foil which
reflects microwaves. This reflected en-
ergy can, in turn, cause the outer
paper covering to become so hot that it
ignites.
