o
You should not use ceramic or porcelain crockery, or porous
earthenware inside of your microwave. These dishes could
absorb moisture from the food whilst it is cooking, which could
cause pressure to build up and shatter the dish.
o
If you are heating certain foods and any liquid, moisture will
evaporate and condensation may occur. This does not indicate
that the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if
the ambient temperature of the room is high.
o
IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft
cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.
o
After the cooking time has completed, you should let the food
stand for a few minutes. This is called “standing time” and will
allow the heat generated by the microwave to spread evenly
throughout the food.
