Dishes for microwave cooking
1) Most glass and glass-ceramic dishes are suitable. However, if they have metal/gold/
silver decorations, do not use them. Varnished/glazed coloured porcelain and glass
must not be cut and hardened. We recommend round or oval dishes over square or
rectangular dishes because the corner parts of the meal have a tendency to overcook.
2) Paper, cardboard and pasteboard napkins, kitchen towels, plates, cups and dishes
made of wood, straw or withe may be used in the MW oven for short-time heating. Do
not use products of recycled paper, because they may contain impurities (particles of
metal) which may cause sparkles or fire during cooking.
3) Plastic plates, cups, bags and packages may be used in the MW oven. Follow the
instructions of the manufacturer.
4) Do not use metal dishes and dishes with metal decorations in the MW oven. If a
recipe requires use of alu-foil, skewers or dishes containing metal, keep a gap of at
least 2.5 cm between the metal object and the inner wall of the oven. If the electric arc
(sparkling) appears, remove the metal object and replace it with a non-metal one.
5) Do not use sealed dishes (bottles with cork, caps etc.)
6) Be careful when removing dishes or the turning plate from the oven. Some kinds of
dishes may absorb heat from the food being cooked and become very hot.
7) Use only thermometer which is intended or recommended for use in MW ovens.

When heating up liquids in the MW oven such as soups, sauces and drinks, boiling might
occur without any signs of bubbles. Then the hot liquid might suddenly boil over Keep the
following instructions in order to prevent this:
1) Do not use dishes with straight walls and narrow necks.
2) Do not overheat the liquids.
3) Stir the liquid before putting the dish into the oven and then in half of the cooking time.
4) To prevent burning, leave the dish in the MW oven for a short while, then stir the liquid
again and check its temperature before serving (especially with children bottles).
VII. INSTALLATION, VENTILATION
1) Remove all packaging material, remove the accessory. Remove all adhesive foils,
stickers or paper from the appliance. Place the turning table on the turning circle in
the middle of the oven.
2) Place the MW oven on a desired firm and flat surface (e.g. kitchen desk or a specially
designed stand for MW ovens) at the height of at least 85 cm and out of reach of
children. The glass of the door could heat up to a very high temperature. Leave space
above, behind and next to the oven for proper ventilation (pic. 1). Openings in the
appliance provide airflow during ventilation and must not be covered or blocked. Also,
the feet of the oven must not be removed. Covering the openings or removing the feet
may cause damage to the MW oven.
