•Remove
•If you have several containers, such as cups, for example, set them out uniformly on the turntable plate.
•Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several times so that the steam can escape easily.
•When heating or cooking foods, check that they reach at least a temperature of 70°C.
•During cooking, steam may form on the oven door window and may start to drip. This situation is normal and may be more noticeable if the room temperature is low. The oven’s safe working is not affected by this. After you have finished cooking, clean up the water coming from the condensation
•When heating liquids, use containers with a wide opening, so that the steam can evaporate easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and keep in mind the cooking times and power levels indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only indicative and can vary depending on the initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is advisable to adjust the times and power levels to each situation. Depending on the exact characteristics of the food you may need to increase or shorten the cooking times or increase or decrease the power levels.
Cooling with microwaves...
1.The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in mind that:
–Double the quantity » double the time
–Half the quantity » half the time
2.The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.
3.Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly.
4.Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly distributed on the turntable. If you put dense foods on the outside part of the plate and less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you can heat up different types of food simultaneously.
5.You can open the oven door at any time. When you do this the oven switches off automatically. The microwave will only start working again when you close the door and press the start key.
6.Foods that are covered require less cooking time and retain their characteristics better. The lids used must let microwaves pass through and have small holes that allow steam to escape.
Defrosting
1.When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves (china, glass, suitable plastic).
2.The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of raw food.
3.The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food. When freezing food keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute the food evenly in the container.
4.Distribute the food as best as possible inside the oven. The thickest parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside. You can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium foil. Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the oven cavity interior as this can cause electrical arcing.
