During Operation…

The microwave oven door may be opened at any time during the cooking operation, in which case:-

-The production of microwaves is immediately interrupted;

-The Timer is automatically stopped, indicating the remaining cooking time.

Then, if you wish you may:

-Stir or turn the food, to improve uniform cooking;

-Change the Microwave power level by pressing the or keys;

-Select another function, by pressing the Function keys;

Working with Microwaves

Before using any dish, make sure that it is appropriate for use in microwaves (SEE ADVICE ON THE USE OF UTENSILS AND RECIPIENTS).

Always make a slit in the food's shell before cooking it.

Whenever heating liquids use a recipient with a large opening to allow the vapour to escape.

Remember that…

1.Larger quantities of food require more cooking time.

2.The lower the food temperature the more cooking time is needed.

3.Less dense foods cook faster.

4.An even distribution of the food in the oven guarantees better results. The cooking of different types of foods simultaneously is possible by placing the dense food in an outside circle and the less dense in the centre of the plate.

5.Better results are achieved by allowing the food to stand before serving because it continues to cook for some time after the oven is switched off.

6.The cooking time may be shortened and the liquids preserved (the food doesn't dry out) by covering the food. The lids should be transparent to allow the microwaves through and they should have a small opening for the vapour to escape.
