6.2 General information about

using the appliance

General:

• After you deactivate the appliance, let

the food stand for some minutes.

• 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 it crusty

• 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.

• 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 of 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 glass cooking tray is a work space
for heating food or liquids. It is necessa­ry for the operation of the microwave.
