WARNINGS:
Oil & Fat:
Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. When
removing covers (such as cling film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away
from face and hands. Stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers such as baby bottles, as this
could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together
with the size, shape and material of the container.
• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high
sugar or fat content, for example, mince pies and Christmas pudding.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the can.
