water.

2.

Place a spoon in the cup to prevent delayed boiling.

3.

Place the cup in the centre of the cooking compart-
ment.

4.

Set the microwave power setting to 600 W.

5.

Set the duration to three minutes.

6.

Start the microwave.

7.

Once the duration has elapsed, keep the door
closed for a further three minutes.

Wipe out the cooking compartment with a soft cloth.

9.

Leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door
open.
