SAFETY
• Ensure that food is always heated thoroughly.
The time required for this depends on many
factors including the quantity and type of
food. Any bacteria present in the food are only
destroyed if the food is heated at a temperature
higher than
70 °C for more than 10 minutes. Allow the food
to cook for longer if you are not sure if the food
has been heated through.
• Place a plastic spoon in a cup if you want to boil
liquid
(for example water). It is possible for the liquid
to boil without bubbling. As soon as you take
the cup out of the microwave, the liquid can
suddenly start to boil furiously and spit out of the
cup, which may scald you.
• A microwave is only safe if the door closes
properly! Never place an object between the
door of the microwave and ensure that the door
and the door seal are always clean.
• Only use the microwave for defrosting,
preparation and heating food and not, for
example, for drying clothes or paper. These can
catch fire.
• Self-combustion is possible if you heat small
quantities of dry or powdery products in the
microwave (such as when drying herbs). Switch
off and unplug the microwave if something in
the microwave catches fire. Keep the microwave
door closed.
• Switch off or unplug the microwave if you see
smoke. Keep the door closed to smother any
flames.
• Never switch the microwave on if it is empty as
this may damage the microwave.
• Remove metal strips from plastic bags and use
bowls and dishes that are microwave safe.
• Always first check on the packaging how food
should be placed in the microwave. Liquids
or foodstuffs in air-tight packaging may only
be heated after pricking a few holes in the
packaging. This is because the pressure builds
up during heating.
