Microwave Recommendations
CAUTION!
Do not let the oven operate when
there is no food in it.
• Put the food into the oven without any
packaging. The packaged ready meals can
be put into the oven only when the
packaging is microwave safe (check
information on the packaging).
• Put the food on a plate on the bottom of the
cavity when you use Microwave function.
Cooking
• Cook food covered. If you want to keep a
crust cook food without a cover.
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the
power and time too high. The food can dry
out, burn or cause fire.
• Do not use the oven to cook eggs or snails
in their shells, because they can burst.
Pierce the yolk of fried egg before reheating
it.
• Pierce food with skin or peel with a fork
several times before cooking.
• Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
• Stir liquid dishes from time to time.
• Stir the food before serving.
• After you turn off the oven, take the food out
and let it stand for a few minutes. Refer to
the "Hints and tips" chapter.
Defrosting
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it, or
on a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that
the defrosting liquid can run off.
• Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a higher
microwave power.
