When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves (china, glass, suitable plastic). The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of raw food. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food. The thickest parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside. You can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium foil. ENGLISH 21 5. 9. Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the oven cavity interior as this can cause electrical arcing. [. . . ] The glass lamp cover (4) is located on the oven ceiling and can be removed easily for cleaning. For this you just need to unscrew it and clean it with water and dishwashing liquid. ACCESSORIES Clean the accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a brush and sponge. Make sure that the turntable plate and the respective support are always clean. [. . . ]
