MICROWAVE ENERGY ¾ Do not try to operate the product while the door is open. This can lead to you being exposed to a potentially harmful dose of microwave radiation. It is also important not to break or manipulate the safety locks. ¾ Do not jam anything between the door. Make sure that there is no food or cleaning agent residue left on the seals. Basic principles of microwave cookery ¾ Cooking time: Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the shortest possible stated cooking time and increase as required. Food that is cooked too long can begin to smoke or catch fire. ¾ Food: Arrange the pieces of food evenly in the product. Cut the food into pieces of approximately the same size. Place the thickest pieces near the edges. ¾ Covering food: Cover the food during cooking with a lid suitable for microwave cookery. The lid prevents splashing and helps in the even cooking of the food. ¾ Turning food: While cooking, turn the food in the product once so that items such as chicken or hamburgers are cooked more quickly. Large pieces of food, such as joints of meat, must be turned at least once. Completely rearrange small food items, such as meatballs, after half the cooking time. Turn the meatballs and move them from the middle of the plate to the edge. ¾ Food with skins: Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages and similar food before cooking. Otherwise, they could explode. ¾ Food with thick skins: Prick whole pumpkins, apples, chestnuts and similar food before cooking. ¾ Fat or oil: Do not thaw frozen fat or oil in the product. Do not fry foods in the product. The fat or oil could ignite. ¾ Beverages: When heating drinks with the product, bubbling may be delayed when the drink boils. Be careful when handling the container. To avoid sudden bubbling up:29 GB/IE If possible, place a suitable glass rod in the fluid for as long as it is being heated. To avoid an unexpected bubbling up, leave the liquid to stand in the cooking chamber

for about 20 seconds after heating. ¾ Popcorn: Only microwaveable popcorn shall be used. Using suitable cookware ¾ The ideal material for use in a microwave oven is microwave-permeable, allowing the energy to penetrate the container to heat the food. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. For this reason, metal containers and cookware should not be used. ¾ When using the product for heating, do not use products made of recycled paper. These can contain minute fragments of metal, which can generate sparks and/or fires. ¾ We recommend the use of round/oval cookware instead of square or oblong containers, as food in corner areas tends to overcook. The following list provides general hints to assist you in selecting the correct cookware. Cookware Microwave Heatproof glass Yes Non-heatproof glass No Heatproof ceramic Yes Microwave-suitable plastic dishes Yes Kitchen roll Yes Metal tray/plate No Aluminium foil and foil containers No m WARNING! Risk of fire! Never use metallic objects when you are using the product. Metals reflect the microwave radiation and this leads to the generation of sparks. This can cause a fire and irreparably damage the product! Before first use m WARNING!Risk of fire!
