Cooking with microwaves
Important tips!
• Eggs with shells and whole eggs should not
be heated in microwave ovens as they may
explode.
• Before heating or cooking foods with shells or
skin
(e.g., apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages) prick them with a fork so that
they do not open up.
• When foods are prepared with very little
humidity (e.g. defrosting bread, making
popcorn, etc.), the humidity evaporates very
fast. The appliance then functions with a
vacuum and the food may be carbonised. This
situation may cause damage to the appliance
and to the container being used. Therefore,
the oven should be set only for the necessary
time and the cooking process should be
supervised.
• It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil
(fry) in the microwave.
• Do not heat liquids in airtight containers.
Explosion hazard!
• Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic
drinks in the microwave.
• Do not heat any kind of explosive material or
liquid in the microwave.
• Remove precooked foods from the
packaging,
because the latter is not always
heat-resistant. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• If there are various different containers,
such as cups for example, place them
uniformly on the rotating plate.
• Always heat baby bottles or jars of baby
food
without lids or teats. After heating, shake
or stir it well to ensure that the heat is
uniformly distributed. The temperature of the
containers is considerably lower than that of
the heated food. Check the temperature of the
food before giving it to the child, to avoid
burns.
• Plastic bags should not be closed with metal
clips, but with plastic ones. The bag should be
perforated several times so that the steam
may come out easily.
• When heating or cooking foods, ensure that
they reach a minimum temperature of 70°C.
• During the cooking process, water vapour
may form on the glass window of the door and
may drip down after a time. This is a normal
situation and may even be significant if the
room temperature is low. This does not
represent a hazard for the safety of the
appliance. After cooking, clean the water
resulting from the condensation.
