SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
• After the cooking time has elapsed, or when the door is opened, the
magnetron turns off immediately.
Cooking and heating up in the microwave
• To arrange food so that it cooks properly place the food with the largest
pieces towards the outer edge.
• Note the exact cooking or heating times.
• Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if
necessary. Overcooked food can start to smoke or even catch fire.
• Cover food during cooking or heating. Covering the food helps avoid
splashes; furthermore the food is more evenly cooked.
• Foods such as chicken pieces or hamburgers should be turned once during
cooking to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such as joints or roasting
chickens must be turn at least once.
• It is also important to reposition food, e.g. with meatballs. After half of the
cooking time is over the food should be repositioned from top to bottom and
from the middle to the outside.
Microwave-suitable materials and objects
You can buy special dishes and accessories for your microwave. Look for
markings such as "Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave". You can also
use your existing dishes – if the material is suitable.
Suitable products include:
• Porcelain, glass ceramic and heat-proof glass
• Plastics which are heat-proof and microwave-suitable (note: plastics may
become discoloured by foods or become warped by the heat)
• Baking paper and foil
