Warning and safety instructions

~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. Danger of injury!

~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.

~Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the microwave. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it.

This is particularly important when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby. When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is created in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food.

~When heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should always be placed into the container.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc. in the oven without the boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build-up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken, which can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning.

The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of burning. The boiling rod ensures that bubbles are produced, and that liquids heat evenly.
