Safe microwave cooking
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• WARNING: Never heat liquids and other foods in sealed containers as they
are liable to explode.
• CAUTION: Hot! Use pot holders or oven mitts to handle cooking utensils
which have become hot following a cooking process.
• Take care when handling containers with hot drinks, as microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling.
• WARNING: To avoid burns, stir or shake the contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars and always check the temperature before serving.
• Do not attempt to fry food in the oven, as hot oil can damage oven parts and
utensils, or cause skin burns. Do not heat eggs in their shell or whole hard-
boiled eggs, as they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
Pierce foods with nonporous skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples,
chestnuts or sausages before cooking.
• Take care when using the oven in combination or grill mode as the inside
and parts become hot during use. Wear oven mitts when handling food and
touching any part of the oven that has become hot during use.
