Follow these recommendations when cooking with 
your microwave: 

•

  Before heating or cooking foods with peel or 

skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes, 
sausages)  prick them so that they do not 
burst. Cut the food up before starting to 
prepare it. 

•

  Before using a container or dish make sure 

that it is suitable for microwave use (see the 
section on types of ovenware). 

•

  When cooking food with very little moisture 

(e.g.  defrosting bread, making popcorn, 
etc.) evaporation is very quick. The oven 
then works as if it was empty and the food 
may burn. The oven and the container may 
be damaged in such a situation. You should 
therefore set just the cooking time necessary 
and you must keep a close eye on the 
cooking process. 

•

  It is not possible to heat large quantities of 

oil (frying) in the microwave. 

•

 Remove  pre-cooked food from the 

containers they come in since these are not 
always heat resistant. Follow the food 
manufacturer’s instructions. 

•

  If you have several containers, such as 

cups, for example, set them out uniformly on 
the turntable plate. 

•

 Do 

not 

close 

plastic bags with metal clips. 

Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags 
several times so that the steam can escape 
easily. 

•

  When heating or cooking foods, check that 

they reach at least a temperature of 70°C. 

•

 During cooking, steam may form on the 

oven door window and may start to drip. 
This situation is normal and may be more 
noticeable if the room temperature is low. 
The oven’s safe working is not affected by 
this. After you have finished cooking, clean 
up the water coming from the condensation 

•

  When heating liquids, use containers with 

a wide opening, so that the steam can 
evaporate easily. 

Prepare the foods as per the instructions and 
keep in mind the cooking times and power levels 
indicated in the tables. 

Keep in mind that the figures given are only 
indicative and can vary depending on the initial 
state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is 
advisable to adjust the times and power levels to 
each situation. Depending on the exact 
characteristics of the food you may need to 
increase or shorten the cooking times or increase 
or decrease the power levels. 

1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the 
cooking time. Keep in mind that: 

•

  Double the quantity » double the time 

•

  Half the quantity » half the time 

2. 

The lower the temperature, the longer the 

cooking time. 

3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more 
quickly. 

4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is 
evenly distributed on the turntable. If you put 
dense foods on the outside part of the plate and 
less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you 
can heat up different types of food simultaneously. 

5. You can open the oven door at any time. When 
you do this the oven switches off automatically. 
The microwave will only start working again when 
you close the door and press the start key. 

6. Foods that are covered require less cooking 
time and retain their characteristics better. The 
lids used must let microwaves pass through and 
have small holes that allow steam to escape.
