SAFETY (CONTINUED)
Remove metal strips from plastic bags and
•
use bowls and dishes that are microwave
safe.
Always fi rst check on the packaging how
•
food should be placed in the microwave.
In general, liquids or foodstuff s in air-tight
packaging may only be heated after pricking
a few holes in the packaging. This is because
pressure builds up during heating.
Liquids and other foodstuff s may not be
•
heated in airtight packaging as they can
explode.
Keep an eye on the microwave when heating
•
foodstuff s in plastic or paper packaging,
in connection with the possibility of
combustion.
Never heat longer than necessary, and
•
remember that food continues to cook after
it is removed from heat.
Prick the skin of meat, chicken or fi sh with
•
a fork or other pointed object. This prevents
spitting.
The microwave should be cleaned regularly
•
and all food remains should be removed.
Remnants of crumbs and moisture absorb
microwaves and increase cooking time.
Food remnants can also damage the interior
which may result in hazardous situations.
WARNING: Microwave heating of beverages
•
can result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care must be taken when handling
the container.
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled
•
eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode, even after
microwave heating has ended.
