Danger of burning on the grill.
When grilling with or without the microwave function, the
microwave oven will get hot. You could burn yourself on the oven
interior walls, the grill element, food, accessories or the oven door.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it,
and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
The time required for this depends on a number of factors, such as
the nature of the food, its initial temperature, the amount to be
cooked and recipe variations.
Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed
by thorough cooking at sufficiently high temperatures (over 70 °C) for
long enough (a minimum of 10 minutes). Therefore when cooking or
reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is
fully cooked through. If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached, continue reheating for a little longer.
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.
Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting
in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of cooking food.
Excessively long cooking durations can lead to food drying out and
burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard! There is
also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs etc. are dried in
the microwave oven. Do not dry these items in the microwave oven.
