~
When heating liquids using
microwave power, the boiling rod
provided should always be placed in
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc,
using microwave power without the
boiling rod, the boiling point of the
liquid may be reached without the
production of typical bubbles. The
liquid does not boil evenly throughout.
This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause
a sudden build-up of bubbles when the
container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid
boiling over suddenly and explosively.
Danger of burning.
The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the oven
door open. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged.
~
Make sure that you only use
microwave safe containers when using
the Microwave (Solo) function or a
combination programme which uses
microwave power. Observe the
instructions given in "Suitable
containers for microwave ovens".
~
Ovenproof earthenware can retain a
considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used with microwave power if
they have vent holes which allow the
moisture to escape. Without vent holes
there can be a pressure build-up,
causing the container to crack or
shatter, with the danger of injury.
~
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags which are intended
for use in normal ovens. These heat-
retaining bags usually contain a thin
layer of aluminium foil which reflects
microwaves. This reflected energy can,
in turn, cause the outer paper covering
to become so hot that it ignites.
~
Do not leave the appliance
unattended when reheating or cooking
food in disposable containers made of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials.
Before using single-use containers
make sure they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. See "Suitable
containers for microwave ovens -
Plastics".
