ENGLISH
•
When cooking bacon, do not put it directly on the glass rotary bottom plate, local overheating of
the bottom plate can lead to its cracking.
•
Use only microwave-safe cookware; put it on the glass bottom plate.
•
For even heating of products, put thicker slices near the edges of the cookware.
•
Watch the cooking time. Set the shortest cooking time, it can be increased if necessary.
•
Do not exceed the cooking time, it can lead to burning of the products.
•
Cook products under a microwave-safe lid. The lid prevents juice or fat splattering and provides
even cooking of food. Do not fry products in the microwave oven without using special cookware
and protective lid.
•
To speed up the cooking process, turn over fast-food products (e.g. hamburgers) once. Large
pieces of meat must be turned over at least twice during cooking.
•
Stir the food during cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
recoMMendaTions on choosinG cooKware
Use only microwave-safe cookware for this unit.
•
The ideal material for microwave-safe cookware should be “transparent” for microwaves, as it
allows microwave energy to pass through and heat the food.
•
Microwaves can not go through metal; that is why never use metal cookware or plates with metal
finishing for cooking in the microwave oven.
•
Do not place recycled paper objects in the microwave oven, as they may contain small metal frag-
ments which may cause package burning.
•
Round and oval cookware better suits for usage in microwave ovens, than rectangular cookware.
•
Do not use chopped or cracked cookware.
