Warning and Safety instructions
12
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc. using microwave power,
the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production
of the typical bubbles. Liquids do 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, which can
lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of
burning and scalding!
The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces
the oven door open. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance!
Stir liquids well before heating. After heating, wait at least
20 seconds before removing the container from the oven. In
addition, during heating a glass rod or similar item, if available, can
be placed in the container.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs in the oven interior.
Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect
it from the electricity supply.
Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the
microwave oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Do not
use the appliance for deep frying. Never attempt to put out oil or fat
fires with water. Switch the microwave oven off and extinguish the
flames by leaving the door closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
microwave oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the
appliance to heat up the room.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can
catch fire on hot surfaces. Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave, as it can easily ignite. Fire hazard!
