• Position the device so that the plug is readily accessible and if necessary can be easily removed from its socket.

5.3 Guidelines for cooking with the microwave oven

Instead of traditional heat sources, a microwave oven applies an electron lamp which emits electromagnetic waves. These waves, like radio waves, are invisible but their effects can be observed. Such waves can pass through materials such as glass, porcelain, artificial materials and paper. As these materials do not contain water, grease or oil, they are not heated by the microwaves. Simply put, the microwaves directly reach the food product, causing molecules of water, grease and oil to vibrate; friction results in the creation of heat which is used for defrosting, heating or cooking. During cooking with microwaves, heat remains inside the product being prepared, in opposition to the processes of boiling or grilling in which heat enters the food from the outside. If the device is not damaged, energy created by the microwaves remains inside the device and does not pose a threat to the user.

• Carefully place food products to be cooked inside the microwave oven, with larger pieces at the outer edges.
• Remember the cooking time. It is best to at first set the shortest possible time and then lengthen cooking time as necessary. Excessive cooking time may cause the food product to smoke or catch fire.
• Cover food products during cooking. This will ensure even cooking and prevent splattering.
• Turn food products over while cooking. This will speed up the process of cooking such products as chicken or hamburgers. Large products, such as a roast, should be turned over at least once.
  Such dishes as dumplings should, after half of the cooking time has elapsed, be turned over, moved from the top to bottom, moved from the outside to the inside, etc.

5.4 Suitable dishes for use in the microwave oven

1. Check that a dish is suitable to be used in a microwave oven.

Test: place the empty dish together with a glass of water (never activate the device when empty or with only an empty container inside), then heat at the highest power level for 60 seconds. An appropriate dish will be lukewarm. If the dish is hot, it is not appropriate for use in the microwave oven.

1. Proper materials for dishes for the microwave oven allow microwaves to pass through. Energy goes through the container and heats the food product.
2. Do not use metallic containers or containers containing metallic parts (e.g. gold strips around the edge of a plate). Microwaves do not pass through metal.
3. Do not use products from recycled materials, as they may contain small pieces of metal. If such containers are used, sparks and even fire may result.

4. Dishes of oval and round shapes should be used, as food products cook more quickly in the corners of square-shaped containers.

5. Wide, flat containers are best suited to use in the microwave oven as compared to narrow and tall ones. Food products cook evenly in flat dishes.

6. To avoid food from baking onto the edge of dishes, you may cover the edges with thin strips of aluminum foil. Do not use too much aluminum foil, and leave a minimum distance of 2.5 to 3.0cm between the foil and walls of the microwave oven's cooking chamber.
7. The table below will help you in selecting the proper dishes:

Exceptions: bread, baked goods,breaded food products and products which are supposed to be crunchy should not be covered.

> Turning over / mixing

Practically all food products should turned over and/or mixed at least once during defrosting. Sticky pieces of food should be separated as quickly as is possible.

> Smaller portions
