COOKING PRODUCTS IN MICROWAVE
OVENS
• When
cooking bacon, do not put it on a
glass tray, local overheating of the glass
tray can lead to the appearance of cracks
in it.
• Use only cookware intended for cooking
in microwave ovens; put it on the glass
tray.
• For even cooking of products, put thicker
slices near the edges of the cookware.
• Follow cooking time. Set the minimum
cooking time, and if necessary increase
it. Do not exceed cooking time it can lead
to burning of the products.
• Cover products with a glass lid. The lid
will prevent juice or fat from splashing
and will help other products be cooked
evenly.
• To increase cooking process turn over
easy-cooking products such as chicken
and hamburgers once. If slices of meat
are large turn them at least twice during
cooking.
• Stir the products while cooking, moving
them downwards and from the center to
the edges.
CHOOSING COOKWARE
• The best material for cookware should
be “transparent” for microwaves, it lets
their energy go through cookware and
heat food.
• Microwaves could not go through metal;
that is why never use metal cookware or
plates with metal finishing.
• Do not use cookware made of reused pa-
per as it can contain metal and thus it can
lead to burning of the packaging.
• Round or oval plates better suit for usage
in microwave ovens.
Testing cookware before using it in a
microwave oven
• Put the tested cookware (for instance, a
plate) in the unit, place a glass with water
on it.
• Switch on the unit at a maximal power
and set cooking time not more than 30
seconds.
• Carefully touch the tested cookware, if it
is hot, but the water in the glass is cold,
do not use this cookware for cooking in
the microwave oven.
• Do not exceed testing time. Maximal time
is 30 seconds.

Materials and cookware intended for usage in the microwave oven
Aluminum foil
Foil can be used only in the Grill mode. The distance
between the foil and the oven walls should be not less
than 2,5 cm. Small pieces of foil can be used to cover thin
slices of meat or poultry, to avoid overroasting.
In the microwave mode, if the foil is too close to the
oven walls, sparkling, and burning-out of spill shield
on the door or breakdown of the oven can happen.
In this case you will forfeit a right for free warranty
service and repair.
