• Remove pre-cooked food from the
containers they come in since these are not
always heat resistant. Follow the food
manufacturer’s instructions.
• 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.
