o
You should not use ceramic or porcelain crockery, or porous
earthenware inside of your microwave. These dishes could absorb
moisture from the food whilst it is cooking, which could cause
pressure to build up and shatter the dish.
o
If you are heating certain foods and any liquid, moisture will
evaporate and condensation may occur. This does not indicate that
the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if the
ambient temperature of the room is high.
o
IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft
cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.
o
After the cooking time has completed, you should let the food stand
for a few minutes. This is called “standing time” and will allow the
heat generated by the microwave to spread evenly throughout the
food.
Materials you can use for microwave cooking
Material Remarks
Aluminium foil To be used for shielding only. Small smooth pieces can
be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to
prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too
close to the cavity walls. The foil should be at least 2.5
cm away from the cavity walls.
Browning dish Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of
the browning dish must be at least 5 mm thick above
the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the
turntable to break.
Dinnerware Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars Always remove the lid. Use only to heat food until just
warm. Most glass jars are not heat resistant and may
break.
Glassware Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is
no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped
dishes.
Oven cooking
bags Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close
