Basic information about the handling of microwaves
7.1
Information about heating with a microwave oven
o
Place the food carefully in the center of the device to the rotary disc.
o
Place the larger pieces of the food on the edge of the dish.
o
Cover the food to be heated loose. Thus, the food is heated evenly and you can
prevent fouling of the device.
o
Enter no tightly sealed container for heating in the device.
o
Note the cooking time. Set the cooking time so that overheating is avoided and
extend the cooking time, if necessary, after the end.
o
Turn the food at least once during cooking.
o
Change for larger amounts of food during the cooking time at least once the
position. Stir through food and distribute food to loose.
o
Look after the food to be heated. Overcooked food can generate smoke and even
ignite.
o
Always check the temperature of the heated food before consumption. Especially
in food for infants and baby food, you must note the uneven heat formation.
7.2
Information about appropriate dishes
o
Only use microwave-safe dishes and materials. Ensure that ceramics, glass and
plastics are heat-resistant.
o
Enter no dishes made of metal, with metallic elements or metallic decorations in
the device. Likewise packaging made of recycled paper material, because they
may contain smallest metal parts.
o
Use utensils with round shapes. Angular shapes favor excessive heating and
burning of food in the corners (for example bowls and casserole dishes).
o
Take flatware with regular cross-sections. Avoid using tall, narrow vessels.
