[. . . ] WARNING: Liquids and other food should not be heated in airtight recipients as these can explode. WARNING: Children should only be allowed to use the oven without adult supervision if they have been given the appropriate instructions so that they can use the oven safely and understand the dangers of its incorrect use. When heating food in plastic or paper recipients, check the oven frequently in case they ignite. If any smoke is detected, then switch off the oven or disconnect it and keep the door closed in order for any flame to die out. [. . . ] These electromagnetic waves are conducted to the inside of the oven cavity by means of wave-guide and spread by a mode stirrer or by a turntable. Inside the oven the microwaves spread out in all directions and are reflected by the metallic walls, penetrating the food evenly. The friction between the molecules generates heat, which causes a temperature rise in the food, defrosting it, cooking it or keeping it warm. As the heat is formed inside the food: - It may be cooked with little or no liquid or fat; - Defrosting, heating or cooking in the microwave oven is quicker than in a conventional oven; - Vitamins, minerals and nutritive substances are preserved; - There is no change in the natural food colour and aroma. The microwaves travel through porcelain, glass, cardboard or plastic but not through metal. Therefore, recipients made of or containing metal should not be used in the microwave oven. Set Function Selector (3) in position corresponding to the required power level in agreement with the following table. Note: In order to know the numerical value of the different power levels, consult the leaflet. For periods shorter than 2 minutes adjust the timer to a higher position and then back to the required time. Whenever the timer is in a position other than zero then the oven light should switch on. When the time is up, the timer will emit a sound signal and oven will automatically be switched off. Better results are achieved by allowing the food to stand before serving because it continues to cook for some time after the oven is switched off. The cooking time may be shortened and the liquids preserved (the food doesn't dry out) by covering the food. The lids should be transparent to allow the microwaves through and they should have a small opening for the vapour to escape. Advice on the use of Cookware metal Do not use metal dishes, tinned food, food wrapped in tin foil and cutlery inside the microwave oven. The food should be removed from its tin foil containers and placed in dishes that are appropriate for use in the microwave oven. As microwaves don't penetrate tin foil, the food heats only on the surface. By using appropriate dishes, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the food. EXCEPTIONS: To cook or defrost pieces of meat of irregular sizes, you may cover the thinner parts with tin foil, which should be kept at least 2 cm away from the oven walls, otherwise these may cause an electric arc. Metal spits may be used as long as they are smaller than the pieces of meat. Crystal contains a percentage of lead, which may cause it to crack if used in the microwave oven. Humidity may be formed inside the hollow handles, which will causes an increase in pressure that may cause them to break. [. . . ] Baby bottles, baby food jars and other similar recipients should be warmed up without lids as they can burst. Clean the outside surface with a neutral detergent, warm water and dry it with a damp cloth. If some time has passed by since the last cleaning and the oven's interior is dirty, place a glass of water on the tray and switch on the oven for 4 minutes on the highest setting. The tray can be washed with regular dish washing detergent or in the dishwasher. [. . . ]
