Suitability of cookware

•During delayed boiling, the boiling tem- perature is attained without the typical steam bubbles rising. When the contai- ner is shaken, even gently, the liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or spurt - with the risk of scalding the user. To prevent liquids from boiling over and possible burns, whenever heating liquid, please place a teaspoon in the container and wait 20 seconds before removing the containers from the appliance or adding anything to the liquid, to avoid sudden spurting of the liquid.

•WARNING : Be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating liquids in a sealed bottle or container, which could otherwise explode.

•Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the cooking / heating of food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for measuring the temperature of the food.

•Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top, and well stirred or shaken after heating, to ensure uniform distribution of the heat. Always check the temperature before feeding to your child in order to avoid scalding.

•The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes.

•Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some areas of the food can dry out or even ignite.

•To protect the appliance against corro- sion from moisture (condensation) in the cavity or on the door, wipe these areas dry after each use.

•Do not use porcelain or ceramic croc- kery, or porous earthenware (e.g. on the handles or unglazed bases) in your microwave as these types of dishes can absorb moisture from the food as it is cooking. This can cause vapour pres- sure to build up which could shatter the dish.

•Food with «skin» or «peel», such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and the like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can escape and the food will not burst.

Do not use your microwave oven for the following :

•The heating or cooking of boiled, coddled eggs or fried eggs by microwave is pro- hibited. They can burst and cause serious burns or irreparable damage to your oven.

•to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) and drinks containing a high percentage of alcohol - there is danger of spontaneous combustion!

•to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.

•to dry animals, textiles or paper.
