IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
Risk of injury from increased pressure in sealed containers or
bottles. Pressure can build up when reheating food or drinks in
sealed containers or bottles, which can cause them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand and with baby bottles, the screw top
and nipple must be removed.
If you cook eggs without their shells, the yolks could explode due
to the resulting pressure.
Prick the yolk several times before cooking to avoid this.
Eggs heated in their shell can burst, even after they have been
removed from the microwave oven.
Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in a specially designed egg-
boiling device. Do not reheat hard-boiled eggs in the microwave
oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes, and eggplant can burst when heated or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these foods several times to allow steam
to escape.
Do not use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid as these
are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very
easily.
To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process. Only
use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to measure the
temperature of the food.
Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, gel, etc., such as
those used in aromatherapy, can ignite when heated, even after they
have been removed from the microwave oven.
Do not heat these up in the microwave oven.
