Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although
heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the mi-
crowaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the
container may be considerable, making the container itself hot. The
dish 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 microwave. The temperature of the container is not an indication
of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly im-
portant when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly
or infirm. After reheating food, especially food for babies and small
children, stir the food or shake the container and check that the tem-
perature does not pose any danger. Double check after it has been
left to stand.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc, using microwave power,
the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production
of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-
called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build-up of bubbles when
the container is removed from the oven or shaken, which can lead to
the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning.
The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces
the oven door open. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
Stir liquids well before heating. After heating, wait at least 20seconds
before removing the container from the oven. In addition, during heat-
ing a glass rod or similar item, if available, can be placed in the con-
tainer.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs inside the appliance.
Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect
it from the mains electricity supply.
Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the
microwave oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Do not
use the appliance for deep-fat frying. Never attempt to put out oil or
fat fires with water. Switch the oven off and extinguish the flames by
leaving the door closed.
