Miele M 635 EG manual Warning and safety instructions, open the oven door

Warning and safety instructions

If smoke occurs in the oven interior, to avoid fuelling any flame do not

open the oven door.

Interrupt the process (by pressing the Stop/C button twice). Switch off at the wall socket and where applicable, re- move the plug. Do not open the oven door until the smoke has dispersed.

Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave oven as this can easily

ignite. This is a fire hazard.

Do not heat up tins in the micro- wave oven. Pressure can build up

and they may explode. This could result in injury or damage.

Do not use any containers or cut- lery made from or containing metal,

aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or cream pots with the foil lid only par- tially removed.

Such items could be damaged, or cause a fire hazard.

The rack supplied with the appliance is designed to be compatible with micro- waves, and can therefore be used for grilling with or without the microwave function.

Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic,

paper or other inflammable material. Before using single use containers make sure they are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See appropriate sec- tion.

Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device

available from specialist shops. Simi- larly, hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave 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 could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Danger of injury.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket po-

tatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or the skin cut in several places before cooking to allow steam to es- cape and prevent the food from burst- ing.

Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags, such as those

used for ready grilled chicken or naan bread from take-aways which are in- tended for use in normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which re- flects microwaves. This reflected en- ergy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ig- nites.
