17.3 Heating
With your appliance you can heat food.
Heating food in the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the mi-
crowave to heat food.
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.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking
compartment.
¡ Turn or stir the food several times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2 to
5ºminutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ To achieve best results, we recommend that you re-
heat food or ready meals at 600 watts. If the pack-
aging specifies a higher microwave output setting,
extend the time.
