Place the food on the microwave bottom glass plate on the bottom of the cavity. Place the food on a plate at the bottom of the cavity.  Turn or stir the food halfway through the defrosting and cooking time. Stir liquid dishes from time to time. Stir the food before serving. Cover the food for cooking and reheating. Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when heating drinks to ensure better heat distribution. Put the food into the appliance without packaging. The packaged ready meals can be put into the appliance only when the packaging is microwave safe (check information on the packaging). Microwave cooking Cook food covered. If you want to keep a crust cook food without a cover. Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn or cause a fire. Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can burst.  Pierce the yolk of the 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 distributes 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.
