3.
The microwave oven must be placed on
a flat, stable surface that can support the
weight of the oven and the food to be
cooked.
4.
Do not put the microwave oven where
it can be exposed to heat, moisture or
humidity. Do not place it near flammable
materials.
5.
The microwave oven must have an ade-
quate flow of air to work properly. Place
the microwave oven so that it has 20 cm of
free space above, 10 cm behind, and 5 cm
on each side. Do not block the openings
on the microwave oven. Do not remove the
feet on the microwave oven.
6.
Do not use the microwave oven without the
glass plate, or if the support rollers and the
rotation axis are not in the correct position.
7.
Check that the power cord is not damaged
and that it is not lying under the microwave
oven, or on hot surfaces or sharp edges.
8.
The plug must be easily accessible so that it
can be easily pulled out in an emergency.
Radio interference
Interference on radios, televisions or other sim-
ilar equipment can occur when the microwave
oven is in use. To reduce interference:
–
Clean the oven door and contact
surfaces.
–
Move the radio or TV antenna.
–
Move the microwave oven in relation
to the receiver.
–
Move the microwave oven away from
the receiver.
–
Plug the microwave into a different
circuit than the radio/TV receiver.
Connection to mains supply
The microwave oven must be earthed. The
plug must be plugged into a correctly installed
and earthed power point. The microwave oven
should be connected to a separate circuit.
Cooking food
1.
Place the food so that the thickest part is
near the edge of the utensil.
2.
Check the cooking time. Select the shortest
suggested time and then increase, if neces-
sary. Overcooked food can start to smoke or
catch fire.
3.
Cover the food with a micro lid during the
cooking. This prevents splashing inside the
microwave oven and the cooking is more
uniform.
4.
Turn the food during cooking to reduce the
cooking time (e.g. for chicken and ham-
burgers). Large pieces, such as roasts, must
be turned at least once.
5.
Meatballs and similar food should be
stirred halfway through cooking (from the
sides to the middle of the utensil and vice
versa).
Choice of utensil
•
Microwaves cannot pass through metal and
therefore metal utensils or plates with
metal edges should not be used.
•
Do not use utensils made of recycled paper
in the microwave oven, they can contain
small metal fragments that can cause
sparks and fire.
•
Use round or oval dishes instead of square/
rectangular ones, as food in the corners will
often be overcooked.
