HOW TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS IN THE MW OVEN

Cooking ware
Never use metal dishes, dishes with metal decorations or dishes coated with foil. Microwaves do not penetrate metal. They will reflect off of the metal objects in the oven and the walls and cause an electric arc – disturbing phenomenon resembling lightning.Most fire-resistant non-metal dishes can be used in the MW oven safely. Some dishes may contain materials due to which they become unsuitable for MW cooking. If you have doubts about whether a specific dish is suitable, you can find out in a simple way.

Testing dishes for microwave cooking
Test the dishes for MW suitability before using it in the MW oven. Put the tested dish in the MW oven together with a glass bowl filled with water and turn the oven on for minute at maximum power. If the water in the glass bowl heats and the tested dish remains cold, this dish is suitable for microwave cooking. If the tested dish is hot (Beware not to burn your fingers!), it means that the microwaves were absorbed by the dish and this dish is not suitable for microwave cooking.Materials you can use in microwave oven – for microwave cooking

It is possible to open the door during the preparation, the timer will stop and the microwave radiation will discontinue. After closing the door the preparation will continue till all the set remaining time passes. After the preparation ends, an audio signal will sound and the timer will be in a zero position. The turning plate can turn in arbitrary direction.

MAINTENANCE

Keep the inner surfaces of the MW clean and dry in order that no sediments of grease and food particles occurs. Do not use high-pressure or steam cleaners to clean! Make sure no water gets inside the oven! In general the MW oven should be cleaned every time it has been used.

Inner walls
Remove all remains of food between door and MW oven with a damp cloth. This area must be cleaned very thoroughly in order that the door can be closed properly. Remove all grease stains with a damp cloth then wipe and dry the walls. Do not use cleaning agents which are rough and abrasive because they will scratch and damage the surface of the MW oven. Remove the smells from the inside of the oven by placing a microwaveable dish with water with lemon juice squeezed from one lemon with skin and letting the microwaves work on it. Wipe and dry the inside of the oven afterwards.
ATTENTION:
Never pour water into the MW oven!

Door
Door must remain clean. Wash only with warm water with soap and then dry thoroughly. Do not use any abrasive agents such as cleaning powders or metal or plastic scrapers. Metal parts are best maintained by wiping them frequently with a damp cloth.

Outer parts
