MWO24 Operating the microwave oven

6.1 Information on cooking food

• Arrange the food carefully. Place the thickest areas towards the outside.

• Pay attention to the cooking time. Always cook for the shortest indicated time

and increase it if necessary. Overcooked foods may smoulder or ignite.

• Cover food during cooking. Covers prevent spraying and ensure even cooking.

• Turn foods such as chicken and hamburger once during the cooking process.

Large food such as roasts must be turned over at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs after half the time from top to bottom and from

the centre outwards.

6.2 Information about cookware

• The ideal material for a microwave oven is transparent to microwaves, allowing

energy to penetrate through the container and heat the food.

• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal dishes or dishes with metallic trim

should not be used.

• Do not use recycled paper products for cooking in a microwave oven, as they

may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.

• Round/oval dishes are better than square/oblong dishes, because food may

overheat in the corners of the dish.

The following list serves as a guideline for suitable dishes:

Cookware Microwave-safe

Heat-resistant glass Yes

Non-heat-resistant glass No

Heat-resistant ceramic Yes

Microwave-safe plastic dishes Yes

Paper towels Yes

Metal bowls No
