Notes
Only to cover small parts of food. Covering small amounts of meat or poultry with foil prevents overcooking
or burning the food. The foil must be at least 2.5 cm away from the inner oven surface (the foil can bend if too
close).
Follow the instructions of the manufacturer. The bottom of the baking container must be at least 5 mm above
the turntable. Improper handling can lead to cracking the turntable.
Use only plates and dishes specifi ed for microwave oven use. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Do
not use cracked or otherwise damaged bowls.
Always remove the cover. Only heat the food. Do not cook! Most glass jugs and jars are not resistant to high
temperatures and can crack.
Use only those glass baking dishes resistant to high temperatures. Make sure the bowl does not have a metal
border or other metal objects. Do not use cracked or otherwise damaged bowls.
Follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Do not close using metal clips. Leave the bag slightly opened
enabling the free release of hot steam.
