TIPS

The following factors can influence the cooking.

Positioning
Place the food uniformly distributed, with thicker parts nearest the edge of the utensil and thinner pieces towards the middle. If possible, avoid overlapping.

Cooking time
Try a short cooking time first, and then increase if necessary. Cooking for too long can cause the food to smoke or get burned.

Uniform cooking

• Food such as poultry, minced meat steaks or whole meat should be turned during the cooking.
• Some food should be stirred, from the edge of the utensil towards the middle, one or several times during the cooking.

Stand time
Leave the food to stand in the oven for a short while after cooking to equalise the temperature.

Checking the cooking
The colour and hardness of the food indicate when the food is cooked, as well as the following indications.

• Steam from all over the food, not just the edges.
• Joints on poultry are easy to move.
• No sign of red meat juice on ham/poultry.
• Fish is opaque and can easily be divided with a fork.

Browning dish

When using a browning dish put a heat­resistant and insulating item such as a porcelain plate under the dish, otherwise the glass plate and/or rotation ring can be damaged.

Plastic film intended for microwave ovens
Do not allow the film to come into contact with food with a high fat content during the cooking, this can cause the film to melt.

Plastic utensils intended for microwave oven
Some plastic utensils for use in microwave ovens are perhaps not suitable for cooking food with a high fat or sugar content. Do not exceed the recommended cooking time for the utensil.

MAINTENANCE

• Clean the microwave oven at regular intervals and remove any scraps of food.
• Do not use solvent, strong, corrosive or abrasive detergents, or abrasive or scratching utensils, when cleaning.

METHODS TO REMOVE ANY SMELLS FROM THE APPLIANCE.

• Put a few slices of lemon in a mug and run the microwave at full power for two to three minutes.
• Put a cup of red tea in the microwave and run at full power.
• Put a few pieces of orange peel in the microwave and run at full power for one minute.
