condensates on cavity walls and can
cause corrosion.
• Clean regularly the appliance to prevent
the deterioration of the surface material.
• Fat and food remaining in the appliance
can cause fire and electric arcing when
the microwave function operates.
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft
cloth. Use only neutral detergents. Do not
use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning
pads, solvents or metal objects.
• If you use an oven spray, follow the safety
instructions on its packaging.
2.5 Glassware use
Handling your glassware without an
appropriate degree of care could result in
breakage, chipping, cracking or severe
scratching:
• Do not spill cold water or other liquids on
the glassware because a sudden
temperature drop may cause immediate
breakage of the glass. Broken glass
pieces may be extremely sharp and
difficult to locate.
• Do not place hot glassware on a wet or
cool surface, directly on countertop or
metal surface, or in sink; or handle hot
glassware with wet cloth.
• Do not use or repair any glassware that is
chipped, cracked or severely scratched.
• Do not drop or hit glassware against a
hard object or strike utensils against it.
• Do not heat empty or nearly empty
glassware in microwave, or overheat oil or
butter in microwave (use minimum amount
of cooking time).
Allow hot glassware to cool on a cooling rack,
a potholder or a dry cloth. Make sure that the
glassware is cool enough before washing,
refrigerating or freezing.
Avoid handling hot glassware (including ware
with silicone gripping surfaces) without dry
potholders.
Avoid microwave misuse (i.e. running the
oven without any load or small load).

Cover the food for cooking and reheating.
Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when
heating drinks to ensure better heat
distribution.

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.
