recommendations on choosing cookware
For this unit use microwave-safe cookware only.
•
Ideal material for microwave-safe cookware should be “transparent” for microwaves, as it allows
microwave energy to pass through and heat the food.
• Microwaves could not go through metal; that is why never use metal cookware or plates with metal
finishing for cooking in microwave oven.
•
Do not place recycled paper products in microwave oven, as they may contain small metal particles
which may cause package burning.
• Round and oval cookware better suit for usage in microwave ovens, than rectangular cookware.
• Do not use cookware with splits and cracks.
cookware testing before using it in a microwave oven
• Put the test cookware (for instance, a plate) into the oven cavity; place a glass with cold water on it.
• Switch the microwave oven on at the maximal power and set cooking time for not more than
1 minute.
• Carefully touch the test cookware. If it is hot, but water in the glass is cold, it means that this cook-
ware doesn’t suit for cooking in the microwave oven.
• Do not exceed testing time. Maximal testing time is 1 minute.
