- The microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface that can support its weight as well as the heaviest possible food.
- Place the microwave oven at least 85 cm above the ground.
- Do not place the microwave oven near heat, moisture, high humidity or flammable materials.
- Proper operation of the microwave oven requires a sufficient air supply. Keep a sufficient distance (approx. 5 cm) to the outer walls in order to ensure heat exchange. Do not cover or block openings on the microwave oven. The feet should not be removed.
- Make sure that the connection cable is undamaged and does not run under the microwave oven or across a hot or sharp surface.

7 Operating the microwave oven

NOTE

A new microwave oven can cause odors due to production residues. Ventilate the living space when using the microwave oven the first few times. Heating a cup of water at high power multiple times is recommended to eliminate odors.

7.1 Information on cooking food

• Arrange the food carefully. Place the thickest areas towards the outside.
• Pay attention to the cooking time. Always cook for the shortest indicated time and increase it if necessary. Overcooked foods may produce smoke or catch fire.
• Cover food during cooking. Covers prevent splashing and ensure uniform cooking.
• Turn foods such as chicken and hamburger once during the cooking process. Large food such as roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs after half the time from top to bottom and from the center outwards.

7.2 Information about cookware

• The ideal material for a microwave oven is permeable to microwaves, allowing energy to penetrate the container and heat the food.
• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal dishes or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products for cooking in a microwave oven, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• Round/oval dishes are better than square/oblong dishes, because food may overheat in the corners of the dish.

The following list serves as a guideline for suitable dishes:

Cookware Microwave-safe

Heat-resistant glass Yes

Non-heat-resistant glass No

Heat-resistant ceramic Yes

Microwave-safe plastic dishes Yes

Plastic wrap Yes (only at low power)

Metal bowls No

Metal frames No

Aluminum foil and aluminum foil containers No

Bamboo tableware No
