HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 Microwave recommendations
Let’s cook!
Place the food on the microwave bottom glass plate on the bottom of the cavity.
Place the food on a plate on the bottom of the cavity.
Turn or stir the food halfway through the defrosting and cooking time.
Stir liquid dishes from time to time.
Stir the food before serving.
Cover the food for cooking and reheating.
Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when heating drinks to ensure better heat distribution.
Put the food into the appliance without packaging. The packaged ready meals can be put into the appliance only when the packaging is microwave safe (check information on the packaging).

Microwave cooking
Cook food covered. If you want to keep a crust cook food without a cover.
Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn or cause fire.
Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can burst. Pierce the yolk of fried egg before reheating it.
Pierce food with skin or peel several times before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
After you turn off the appliance, take the food out and let it stand for a few minutes to allow the heat distribute evenly.
Microwave defrosting
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it, or on a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the defrosting liquid can leak out.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first, you can use a higher microwave power.

10.2 Microwave suitable cookware and materials

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

13.1 Energy saving
Make sure that the appliance door is closed when the appliance operates. Do not open the appliance door too often during cooking. Keep the door gasket clean and make sure it is well fixed in its position.
Use metal cookware to improve energy saving (only when you use a non-microwave function).
When possible, do not preheat the appliance before cooking.
Keep breaks between baking as short as possible when you prepare a few dishes at one time.
Cooking with fan
When possible, use the cooking functions with fan to save energy.
Residual heat
The fan and lamp continue to operate. When you turn off the appliance, the display shows the residual heat. You can use that heat to keep the food warm.
When the cooking duration is longer than 30 min, reduce the appliance temperature to minimum 3 – 10 min before the end of cooking. The residual heat inside the appliance will continue to cook.
Use the residual heat to warm up other dishes.
Keep food warm
Choose the lowest possible temperature setting to use residual heat and keep a meal warm.
The residual heat indicator or temperature appears on the display.
