Important Safety Instructions
Meat Thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check
the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry only when meat has been
removed from the microwave oven.
If undercooked, return to the oven
and cook for a few more minutes
at the recommended power level.
Do not use a conventional meat
thermometer in the oven when
microwaving, because it may cause
sparking.
Small Quantities of Foods
Small quantities of food or foods
with low moisture content can burn,
dry out or catch on fire if cooked
too long. If materials inside the
oven should ignite, keep the oven
door closed, turn the oven off and
remove the plug from the socket.
Eggs
Do not cook eggs in their shells
and whole hard-boiled eggs by
microwave. Pressure may build up
and the eggs may explode, even
after the microwave heating has
ended.
Foods with Skins
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole
vegetables and sausages are exam-
ples of food with non porous skins.
These must be pierced using a fork
before cooking to prevent bursting.
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup,
sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the
liquid beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should
be taken:
Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
Do not overheat.
Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating time.
After heating, allow to stand in
the oven for a short time, stirring
again before carefully removing
the container.
Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care should be
taken when handling the container.
Paper/Plastic
When heating food in plastic or
paper containers, keep an eye on
the oven due to the possibility of
ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties
with roasting bags when cooking
mode includes microwave power
as arcing will occur. Do not use
recycled paper products, e.g.
Kitchen roll unless they say they
are specifically designed for use in
a microwave oven. These products
contain impurities which may cause
sparks and/or fires when used.
Liquids and other foods must not
be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
