5.2 Basics of Thermal Processing in Microwave

Instead of traditional heat sources, a microwave oven applies an electron lamp which emits electromagnetic waves. These waves, like radio waves, are invisible but their effects can be observed. Such waves can pass through materials such as glass, porcelain, artificial materials and paper. As these materials do not contain water, grease or oil, they are not heated by the microwaves. Simply put, the microwaves directly reach the food product, causing molecules of water, grease and oil to vibrate; friction results in the creation of heat which is used for defrosting, heating or cooking. During cooking with microwaves, heat remains inside the product being prepared, in opposition to the processes of boiling or grilling in which heat enters the food from the outside. If the device is not damaged, energy created by the microwaves remains inside the device and does not pose a threat to the user.
Carefully place food products to be cooked inside the microwave oven, with
larger pieces at the outer edges.
Remember the cooking time. It is best to at first set the shortest possible time
and then lenghten cooking time as necessary. Excessive cooking time may cause the food product to smoke or catch fire.
Installation and operation
14 / 22 610836
EN
Cover food products during cooking. This will ensure even cooking and prevent
splattering.
Turn food products over while cooking. This will speed up the process of
cooking such products as chicken or hamburgers. Large products, such as a roast, should be turned over at least once.
Such dishes as dumplings should, after half of the cooking time has elapsed, be
turned over, moved from the top to bottom, moved from the outside to the inside, etc.

5.3 Cookware Suitable for Use in Microwave

Check that a dish is suitable to be used in a microwave.
Test: place the empty dish together with a glass of water (never activate the device when empty or with only an empty container inside), then heat at the highest power level for 60 seconds. An appropriate dish will be lukewarm. If the dish is hot, it is not appropriate for use in the microwave.
Proper materials for dishes for the microwave allow microwaves to pass through. Energy goes through the container and heats the food product.
Do not use metallic containers or containers containing metallic parts (e.g. gold
strips around the edge of a plate). Microwaves do not pass through metal.
Do not use products from recycled materials, as they may contain small pieces
of metal. If such containers are used, sparks and even fire may result.
Dishes of oval and round shapes should be used, as food products cook more
quickly in the corners of square-shaped containers.
Wide, flat containers are best suited to use in the microwave as compared to
narrow and tall ones. Food products cook evenly in flat dishes.
To avoid food from baking onto the edge of dishes, you may cover the edges
with thin strips of aluminum foil. Do not use too much aluminum foil, and leave a minimum distance of 2.5 to 3.0 cm between the foil and walls of the microwave cooking chamber.

Remove cookware only using oven mitts or kitchen dish-cloth.
CAUTION!
Risk of ignition!
Observe the appliance especially with high power output levels! Reduce the power output in the case of abnormal noises, pouring or
bubbling of liquids.
1. Before each use, check if the glass turntable (7) and roller ring (6) are correctly seated.
The thermal processing chamber must be clean; the roller ring (6) must lie in the groove; the glass turntable (7) must be snapped onto the drive of the turntable (5).
HINT:
Never use the appliance without the glass turntable and without a container with food nor without food in a container!
Nothing may protrude outside of the turntable edge. Do not heat up food directly on the glass turntable (7). When heating up a number of chunks/pieces, distribute them evenly in a
cookware/container, so that they do not touch each other.
2. Place a container with food on the glass turntable (7).
3. Close the door making sure that door seals are free of foreign objects and that the door closes securely.
Installation and operation
18 / 22 610836
EN
4. Using the right controller, set the required output level and thermal processing duration (1–30).
The thermal processing duration depends on the following food characteristics:
initial temperature:
the lower, the longer the thermal processing duration
density:
the higher, the longer the thermal processing duration
humidity:
the lower, the longer the thermal processing duration
thickness:
the larger, the longer the thermal processing duration
weight:
the larger, the longer the thermal processing duration
NOTE! As soon as the thermal processing time is set, the appliance starts to
operate!
The thermal processing chamber is lit, and the glass turntable is rotating.
5. Make sure that the glass turntable is always free to rotate.
6. Open the door in order to stop the appliance during operation.
7. When food is removed before the set time elapses or when the appliance is not in operation, always set the timer to '0'.
An acoustic signal is heard when the set time elapses.
9. Use the door handle to open the door and remove food.
Defrosting
The function labeled (DEFROST) allows the easy defrosting of frozen food products. Energy created by the microwaves heats the external layer of the product, and the heat slowly seeps into the interior of the product. This ensures even defrosting of the food product.
1. Prior to defrosting, remove the packaging from the product.
2. Place the product on a plate.
While defrosting proceed in accordance with the following instruction:
Installation and operation
610836 19 / 22
EN
Covering
Food products should be covered, in order to:
quicken their heating, avoid drying out, avoid splattering of grease in the cooking chamber,
Exceptions: bread, baked goods, breaded food products and products which are supposed to be crunchy should not be covered.
Turning over / mixing
Practically all food products should turned over and/or mixed at least once during defrosting.
1. Sticky pieces of food should be separated as quickly as is possible.
Smaller portions
Smaller portions defrost more evenly and quicker than larger ones.
1. Divide food products into smaller pieces prior to defrosting.
An entire meal can thus be quickly and easily prepared.
Delicate foods
Delicate foods such as pate / cakes, cream, cheese or bread should be only partially defrosted, and the defrosting process should be finished at room temperature. In this manner you will avoid a situation where the food is too hot on the outside while still frozen on the inside.
Leaving dishes out
The time for leaving dishes out following defrosting is very important, as it guarantees continuation of the defrosting process. After defrosting, the defrosted food product should be cooked as soon as possible. Do not re-freeze defrosted food products.
