54
Select the following microwave power
levels to reheat food:
Drinks 900W
Food 600W
Food for babies and children 450W
 Risk of burning due to hot food.
Food for babies and children must
not be too hot.
Only heat it for 1/2 to 1minute at
450watts.
Tips on reheating
Always use a lid or cover when reheat-
ing food, except when a crispier finish is
needed, e.g. food with a breadcrumb
coating.
 Danger of explosion due to pres-
sure build-up.
Pressure can build up during reheat-
ing in sealed containers or bottles,
causing them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are heated in the microwave
oven. Do not attempt to heat them
up unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.
 Risk of injury caused by over-
boiling.
When heating liquids using micro-
wave power, the boiling point of the
liquid may be reached without the
production of typical bubbles. The li-
quid 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 microwave or shaken, which can
lead to the liquid boiling over sud-
denly and explosively. The formation
of bubbles can be so strong that the
pressure forces the appliance door
open.
A boiling delay can be avoided by
stirring liquids before reheating them.
After reheating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the
container from the oven compart-
ment. In addition, a glass rod or sim-
ilar item, if available, can be placed
in the container during heating.
Eggs can explode.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs using
the microwave oven, even without
the shell.
