Safety information
for cooking with the
microwave
44
q The microwave must only be switched on when
there is food in the cooking compartment.
q The microwave should only be used for heating
meals and drinks. Using the microwave for other
purposes may be dangerous and may result in
damage e.g. grains or cereals could catch fire
when heated.
q There is a risk of burning.
When heating up liquids, always place a teaspoon
in the container to prevent delayed boiling. If it
does boil over it means that the liquid has come to
the boil without the steam bubbles being able to
escape. Even if the container only vibrates a little,
the hot liquid can suddenly boil over or spatter.
This can cause injuries and scalding.
q Baby food:
Always heat up baby food in a glass or bottle
without the lid or teat. Once heated, the baby food
should be stirred or shaken thoroughly to distribute
the heat evenly. Always check the temperature
before giving the food to your baby. There is a risk
of burning.
q Never heat up food or drinks in tightly sealed
containers. There is a risk of explosion.
q Alcoholic drinks must not be overheated. There is
a risk of explosion.
q Do not heat any meals in heat retaining packages
as they could ignite. Food in containers made of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials must
be monitored during heating. Airtight packaging
may burst when food is heated.
q Not:
Never cook eggs in their shells nor heat up
hard boiled eggs, as they may crack or explode
even after the microwave heating has ended. The
same applies to shellfish and crustaceans. Always
prick the yolk first for fried or poached eggs.
