U Microwave Hints • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Microwave Tips Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and the inside of the door. Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven. Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles. Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped by hot food. Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a plate or grease proof paper.

This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service technician. Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
