FOOD SAFETY

Always test the temperature of cooked food, never eat or drink food or liquid straight from the oven, allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir to distribute the heat evenly. Microwave heating of beverages can result delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

Food containing a mixture of fat and water (for example, stock) should stand for 30 to 60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock cube is added.

When heating or cooking food or liquid, remember that there are certain foods (such as Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat), which heat up very quickly.

When heating or cooking foods that contain a lot of fat or sugar, do not use plastic containers.

Always have the glass tray and turntable support in place when using the oven.

Do not cook food directly on the glass tray. Put food on a suitable plate or in a bowl before putting it in the oven.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: Microwave oven installation Do not overcook food
