• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn or catch fire in some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can explode. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with “skin” or “peel”, such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork several times before cooking so that the food does not explode.

• Turn larger pieces after half of the cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar sized pieces.
