DANGER! If metal touches the cooking chamber wall, sparks will be created which can damage the appliance or destroy the inner door glass.

  1. Remove the ready meals from the packaging and place them in a microwave-safe dish.
  2. Spread the food flat in the dishes.
  3. Cover the food with a suitable lid, a plate or special microwave foil.
  4. Start the operation.
  5. Turn or stir the food several times during cooking. Different food components can heat up at different speeds.
  6. Check the temperature.
  7. To allow the temperature to equalize, allow the heated food to rest at room temperature for 2-5 minutes.
