Warming up food using the microwave mode

You can use the microwave mode to warm up food or
to defrost and warm up food in a single step.

Tips for warming up food using the microwave mode

¡

Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid.

¡

Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during warming.

¡

After warming up the food, leave it to rest for
1-2 minutes.

¡

The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.

¡

Make sure that you do the following when you are
warming up baby food:
– Place bottles on the wire rack without the teat or

lid.

– Shake or stir the baby food well after warming it

up.

– Always check the temperature of the baby food.

¡

Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
warm up food.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling tem-

perature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the
surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the
hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter.

Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This will prevent delayed boiling. 

ATTENTION!

Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.

Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
