Turn foods over once when cooking such items as chicken,
roasts or large food quantities. Rearrange foods during the
cooking process, placing items from the centre to the outside,
reversing from the outside to the centre to improve cooking
time and evenness.
Remove twist-ties from any bag.
Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes. Eggs in their
shell and whole hard-boiled eggs shall not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode, even after
microwave heating has finished.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for
use in microwave ovens. Utensils may become hot because of
the heat transferred from the heated food. Use an oven cloth
to remove.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the
oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling. Therefore care has to be taken when handling the
container.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be
stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
WARNING: Liquids or other foods must not be heated in
sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Do not use any metal utensils, trays or cooking dishes. Do not
use recycled paper. Round or oval dishes are better than
square or oblong dishes.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN WHEN EMPTY.
