Adjusting the cooking time

 

 

 

 

cookware guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.

 

 

 

 

Adjust the remaining cooking time by rotating the TIMER knob.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
