Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn
or cause fire.
Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can burst. Pierce
the yolk of fried egg before reheating it.
Pierce food with skin or peel several times before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
After you turn off the appliance, take the food out and let it stand for a few minutes to allow the
heat distribute evenly.
Microwave defrosting
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it, or on a
defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the defrosting liquid can leak out.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first, you can use a higher microwave
power.
