7.1 Microwave
Information about operation
General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for some minutes (refer
to “Microwave Tables: standing time”).
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you prepare the food.
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.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as
potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, 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.
• Vegetables that have a firm structure,
such as carrots, peas or cauliflower,
must be cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces 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 small
holes, e. g. on handles or unglazed bottoms. Moisture going into the holes can
cause the cookware to crack when it is
heated.
• The bottom glass is a work space for
heating food or liquids. It is necessary
for the operation of the microwave
oven.
• Always put the glass stick (if supplied)
in the container when you heat liquids,
in order to prevent overcooking or
splashing.
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
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but

This gives a more even result. Fully remove all metal or aluminium packaging
or parts before defrosting.
which are to be further prepared while
raw, in the appliance. Let them defrost
at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power
to cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first.
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).

Other things to think about…
• Food items have different shapes and
qualities. They are prepared in different
quantities. Because of this, the necessary time and power for defrosting,
heating or cooking can vary. As a rough
guide: double the quantity = almost
double the time.
• The microwave creates the heat directly
in the food. Because of this, all places
cannot be heated at the same time.
You must stir or turn the heated dishes,
especially with larger quantities of food.
•The standing time is given in the ta-
bles. Let the food stand, in the appliance or outside it, so that the heat is
distributed more equally.
• You get better results for rice if you use
flat, wide dishes.
