Operating instructions

~
Do not reheat food in the microwave oven in heat-
retaining bags intended for normal ovens, such as
roasting bags. These heat-retaining bags usually
contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects
microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause
the outer paper covering to become so hot that it
ignites.
~
Eggs can be cooked without their shells using
microwave power only if the yolk membrane has been
punctured several times first. The pressure could
otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
~
Eggs can only be cooked in their shells using
microwave heat in a specially designed egg-boiling
device available from specialist shops. Hard-boiled
eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven as
this may lead to the eggs bursting even after they have
been taken out of the appliance.
~
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes,
sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be
pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to
escape and prevent the food from bursting.
