MICROWAVE COOKING AND SAFETY PRINCIPLES
WARNING!
•Always arrange the food carefully and evenly. Place the thickest areas of the food
towards the outside of the oven if possible.
•Always cook for a shorter time if you are unsure and then add more if required.
Severely overcooked food may smoke or ignite.
•Always cover the food to ensure even cooking and to avoid splattering.
•Turn foods over once when cooking such items as chicken, roasts or large food
quantities. Rearrange foods during the cooking process, placing items from the centre
to the outside and from the outside to the centre to improve cooking time and
evenness.
•Remove twist-ties from any bag.
•Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes. Eggs in their shell and whole hard
boiled eggs shall not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
•Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Utensils may become hot because of the heat transferred from the heated
food. Use an oven cloth to remove.
•When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to
the possibility of igniting.
•Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. Therefore care
has to be taken when handling the container.
•The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and
the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
•Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
•Do not use any metal utensils, trays or cooking dishes. Do not use recycled paper.
Round or oval dishes are better than square or oblong dishes.
•The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating.
The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has been tested in
a cabinet.
