it can be increased if necessary.

slices of meat should be turned over at least twice
during cooking.

tom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
Recommendations on choosing cookware
Use only microwave-safe cookware for this unit.
–
Ideal material for microwave-safe cookware should
be “transparent” for microwaves, as it allows mi-
crowave 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 fin-
ishing for cooking in microwave oven.
–
Do not place recycled paper products in microwave
oven, as they may contain small metal fragments
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.
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 operation duration for no longer than 1 min-
ute.
–
Carefully touch the test cookware. If it is hot, and the
water in the glass is cold, do not use this cookware
for cooking in the microwave oven.
–
Do not exceed testing time. Maximal testing time
is 1 minute.
