Before you begin

Basic principles of microwave cookery

• Arrange the food with consideration.

• The thickest parts near the edges.

• Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the
shortest possible stated cooking time and increase
as required. Food that is cooked too long can
begin to smoke or catch fire.

• Cover the food during cooking with a lid suitable
for microwave cookery. The lid prevents splashing
and helps in the even cooking of the food.

• While cooking, turn the food in the microwave
once so that items such as chicken or hamburgers
are cooked more quickly.

• Large pieces of food, such as joints of meat,
must be turned at least once.

• Completely re-arrange foods such as meatballs
after half the cooking time. Turn them and move
the meatballs from the middle of the cookware
to the edge.

• We recommend the use of round/oval cookware
instead of square or oblong containers, as food
in corner areas tends to overcook.
The following list provides general hints to assist
you in selecting the correct cookware.

Combi­nation

Use suitable cookware

• The ideal material for a microwave oven is
microwave-permeable, allowing the energy to
penetrate the container to heat the food.
Microwaves cannot permeate metal. Therefore,
metal containers and cookware should not be
used.
Microwaves cannot permeate metal. For this
reason metal containers and cookware should
not be used.

• When using the microwave for heating do not
use products made of recycled paper. These
can contain minute fragments of metal, which
can generate sparks and/or fires.

Risk of fire!

Never use the grill stand or other metallic objects
when you are using the appliance in the microwave
mode or in the combination cooking process.
Metals reflect the microwave radiation and it leads
to the generation of sparks. This could cause a fire
and irreparably damage the appliance!
