it is pierced to let
steam escape, and

Some plastics are heat-proof only to
certain temperatures. Check carefully!
Always remove lids of jars and containers,
including take away food containers, before
you cook using your microwave. If you don
’t
remove the lids, then steam and pressure
can build up inside and cause an explosion
even after microwave cooking has stopped.
Safety and Instruction Manual

narrow necks when heating liquid. Use
extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensils into the container.
Cooking tips:
The following factors may affect the
cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards the outside of the
dish with the thinner parts towards the centre.
Spread it evenly and avoid overlap if possible.
Cooking time length
Begin cooking on a shorter time setting
and evaluate the food after it times out.
Extend the time according to the
actual need. Over cooking may result
in burnt food and smoke.
Piercing
Food such as potatoes, fish, chicken and
sausages all need to be pierced in several
places before cooking, so that steam does
not build up and cause the food to explode.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, burgers or steak
should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if
applicable, stir from outside to the centre
of the dish once or twice during cooking.
Allow standing time
Once the cooking time has finished, allow
food to stand in the Microwave for a few
minutes. This allows the food to complete its
cooking cycle and to cool down naturally.
