Heating in the microwave
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently
shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil
over and splatter.
▶ Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can
also use a plate or a microwave cover to cover the
dish. Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡ Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which
lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled
high.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2 to 3times during this time.
¡ After heating, leave the food to rest for 1–2ºminutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ Baby food:
– Place bottles without a teat or lid on the wire
rack.
– Stir or shake well after heating.
– Always check the temperature of the baby food.
