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 similar-sized pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

• Do not use cookware made of porcelain, ceramic or
earthenware with small holes, e. g. on handles or un-

Suitable cookware and materials

glazed 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.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:

• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned
plate with a container below it so that the defrosting
liquid collects in the container.

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

Defrosting butter, portions of gateau, quark:

• Do not fully defrost the food in the appliance, but let it
defrost at room temperature. This gives a more even
result. Fully remove all metal or aluminium packaging
before defrosting.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables:

• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables, 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:

• You can prepare ready meals in the appliance only if
their packaging is suitable for microwave use.

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

Helpful hints and tips

Tips for the microwave

Problem Remedy

You cannot find details for the amount of food
prepared.

The food got too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after the

time came to an end.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the food

is overheated at the edge but is still not ready in
the middle.

To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.

Defrosting

Always defrost roast with the fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this may cause
cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.

Cooking

Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the refrig­erator at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay covered
after cooking.

Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of the
cooking times according to the following rule: Double the

amount = almost double the time, Half the amount = half
the time

Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that large
dishes need longer time.

Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids half­way through, e.g. soup.

Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of vegeta­bles. Cut the fresh vegetables into even size pieces be­fore cooking. Cook all vegetables with a cover on the
container.

Reheating

When you reheat packed ready meals always follow the
instruction written on the packaging.

Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to the Safety chapters.
