Remove metal twists from plastic bags and use dishes and
plates that are suitable for the microwave oven.
You should only heat liquids in airtight packaging after first
pricking a few holes in the packaging. This is because of the
increase in pressure during heating.
Do not heat food for longer than is necessary; allow for the
'continued cooking'.
Prick the skin of meat, chicken and fish with a fork or other
pointed object. This prevents these foods spattering.
You can open the door when the microwave function is
switched on; the microwave function then switches off
automatically and the time set is stopped.
Not all materials can be used in the combi-microwave oven.

* Use undecorated kitchen paper to cover a dish or to place
under bread when defrosting.
** By covering thinner parts of foods (such as chicken legs),
you prevent them from cooking too quickly.
