Functions - Miele H 158 MB Operating Instructions Manual

Always check the temperature of
the actual food itself after taking it
out of the oven. Do not be misled by
the temperature of the container.
The temperature of the container does
not necessarily give a correct indica-
tion of the temperature of the food or liq-
uid in it.
Never cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers or
bottles. With baby bottles the screw top
teat must be removed. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode pos-
ing a severe risk of injury.
When heating liquids, the boiling
rod provided should be placed
into the container.
When heating, and especially reheating
liquids, milk, sauces etc., in the micro-
wave oven, the boiling point of the liq-
uid may be reached without the produc-
12
tion of typical bubbles. The liquid does
not boil evenly throughout. This so-
called 'boiling delay' can cause a sud-
den build up of bubbles, when the con-
tainer is shaken on removal from the
oven. This can lead to the liquid boiling
over suddenly and explosively. There is
a danger of burning. The formation of
bubbles can be so strong that the
pressure forces the oven door open.
.
The user could be injured and the ap-
pliance damaged.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid
boils evenly and that bubbles form at
an early stage during the operation.
Do not use any containers or cut-
lery made from or containing met-
al, aluminium foil, lead crystal glass-
ware, temperature-sensitive plastics,
wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips
or wire ties. Such items could be dam-
aged, or cause a fire hazard.
The rack supplied with the appliance is
designed to be compatible with micro-
waves.
The rack gets hot when operating
either the microwave function or
the browning element, or both. There is
a danger of burning.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated in the microwave oven as
this may lead to the eggs bursting,
even once they have been removed
from the oven.
