Important safety instructions
Meat thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check the
degree of cooking of roasts and poultry
only when the meat has been removed
from the oven. Do not use a conventional
meat thermometer in the microwave oven
because it may cause sparking.
Small quantities of foods
Small quantities of food or foods with
low moisture content can burn, dry out or
catch fire if cooked too long. If materials
inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven
door closed, turn the oven off and remove
the plug from the socket.
Eggs
Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole
hard-boiled eggs by microwave. Pressure
may build up and the eggs may explode,
even after the microwave heating has
ended.
Piercing Skin
Foods with non porous skin, such as
potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be
pierced before cooking by microwave to
prevent bursting.
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces
and beverages in your microwave oven,
overheating the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence of bubbling. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot
liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
Avoid using straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
Do not overheat.
Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again halfway
through the cooking time.
After heating, allow it to stand in the
oven for a short time, stir again before
carefully removing the container.
Paper/plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, check the oven frequently
as these types of containers ignite if
overheated.
Do not use recycled paper products (e.g.
kitchen roll) unless the paper product is
labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires during use.
Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags
before placing the bags in the oven.
