Heating food
ã
Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid
is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Even if the container only moves a little,
the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and spatter.
When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Caution! Metal ­ e.g. a spoon in a glass ­ must be kept
at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on
the inside of the door.
Notes
‒ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will
heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal
may not require the same amount of time to heat
up .
‒ Always cover the food. If you do not have a
suitable cover for your container, use a plate or
special microwave foil.
‒ Stir or turn the food several times during the
heating time. Check the temperature.
‒ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further
2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even
temperature.
‒ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
