When possible, do not preheat the oven before you put the food inside.

8. MICROWAVE MODE

8.1 Microwave

General:

CAUTION!

Do not let the appliance operate when there is no food in it.

•After you deactivate the appliance, let the food stand for some minutes. Refer to the microwave cooking tables: standing time.

•Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal containers, etc. before you prepare the food.

•It is not recommended to use more than one level when using the microwave mode.

When the cooking duration is longer than 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to minimum 3 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, depending on the duration of the cooking. The residual heat inside the oven will continue to cook.

Use the residual heat to warm up other dishes.

Cooking with fan

When possible, use the cooking functions with fan to save energy.

Residual heat

If a programme with the Duration or End Time selection is activated and the cooking time is longer than 30 minutes, the heating elements deactivate automatically 10% faster in some oven functions.

The fan and lamp continue to operate.

Keep food warm

Choose the lowest possible temperature setting to use residual heat and keep a meal warm. The display shows the residual heat indicator or temperature.

Cooking with the lamp off

Deactivate the lamp during cooking and activate only when you need it.

•Put the food on a plate on the bottom of the cavity if not specified differently.

•If possible, always stir the food before serving.

Cooking:

•If possible, cook food covered with material suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook food without a cover if you want to keep a crust.

•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 in their shells and snails, because they can burst. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.

•Pierce skin or peel of potatoes, tomatoes, sausages and similar types of food with a fork several times

before cooking so that the food does not burst.

•For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cooking time.

•Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred from time to time.

•Turn larger pieces of food after half the cooking time.

•If possible, cut vegetables into similarsized pieces.

•Use flat, wide dishes.

•Do not use cookware made of

porcelain, ceramic or earthenware with unglazed bottoms or small holes, e.g. on handles . Moisture going into the holes can cause the cookware to crack when it is heated.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:

•Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it, or on a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the defrosting liquid can run off.

•Turn the food after half the defrosting time. If possible, divide and then remove the pieces that have started to defrost.

Defrosting butter, portions of gateau, quark:

ENGLISH 15

•Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but let them defrost completely at a room temperature. This gives a more even result. Remove all metal or aluminium packaging or parts before defrosting.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables:

•If fruit and vegetables should remain raw, do not defrost them fully in the appliance but let them defrost completely at a room temperature.

•To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first, you can use a higher microwave power.

Ready meals:

•Ready meals in metal packaging or plastic trays with metal covers can only be defrosted or heated in the microwave if they are expressively designated as suitable for use in the microwave.

•You must follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the packaging (e.g. remove the metal cover and pierce the plastic film).
