IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
You can ensure this 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.
When heating food, and in particular liquids, using the
Microwave
operating mode, the boiling point may be reached
without the typical bubbles being produced. The liquid does not boil
evenly throughout. This boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling
over explosively. Take care when taking the container out of the
oven, as the hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under certain
circumstances, the pressure can be so high that the door opens
automatically.
Stir liquids well before heating or cooking. After heating, wait at least
20 seconds before removing the container from the oven. In
addition, you can place a glass rod or similar item, if available, in the
container during the heating process.
Risk of injury caused by hot food. When you heat food up, the
heat is created directly in the food itself. For this reason, the
dishware will remain cooler than the food (except when you use
ovenproof stoneware). The dishware is only warmed by the heat of
the food.
Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food
itself after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container
is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it.
This
is particularly important when preparing food for babies,
children, and the elderly or infirm.
After heating food, especially
food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the
container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger
of burning. Double check after it has been left to stand.
