Warning and safety instructions
13
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking.
During the standing time, the temperature is distributed evenly in the
food.
When heating food, and in particular liquids, using the
Microwave
function, the boiling point may be reached without
the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly
throughout. This boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling over
explosively. Take care when taking the container out of the oven, as
the hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under certain
circumstances, the pressure can be so high that the door opens
automatically.
Stir liquids well before heating. After heating, wait at least
20 seconds before removing the container from the oven
compartment. In addition, a glass rod or similar item, if available, can
be placed in the container during heating.
Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat
is created directly in the food itself. For this reason the crockery will
remain cooler than the food (except when using oven-proof
stoneware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food
itself after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container
is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it.
This
is particularly important when preparing food for babies,
children, and the elderly or infirm.
After reheating food, especially
food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the
container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger
of burning. Double check after it has been left to stand.
