Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~Always ensure that food is sufficiently heated.

Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its initial temperature, changes to the recipe, and the shape and size of the cooking container. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through (at temperatures over 70°C for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

~It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

~Always remember that times for

cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in the microwave oven.

Always ensure that this type of procedure is supervised.

~Do not use the microwave function to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the microwave.

~Exercise caution when cooking or reheating food with a high sugar content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If heated for too long, the sugar may caramelise or ignite.

~The microwave is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items.

Items can get extremely hot, and there is a danger of burning when the item is removed from the microwave. Fire hazard.

~Do not use full power to warm empty dishes or to dry out herbs. Do not use the appliance without food, or if it is incorrectly loaded.

~Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be loosened. Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
