microwave-safe ovenware.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■ Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door
will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal
clean.
■ Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead
to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is
food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is
a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable
crockery").
■ Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too
high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always
place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if
overloaded.
Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for the second cake.
Your new appliance
Use this section to familiarise yourself with your new appliance.
The control panel and the individual operating controls are
explained.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European
Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic
equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. You will find information about ovenware and how to set the microwave.
Note: In the Tested for you in our cooking studio section, you
will find examples for defrosting, heating and cooking with the
microwave oven.
Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic. These materials allow microwaves to pass through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.
Caution!
Creation of sparks: metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be
kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of the door.
Ovenware test
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
■ °±² button = series of operations
■ o button = automatic programmes
■ l button = memory programme
You can read how to make settings in the individual sections.
Switching off
Press the main switch. The ~ symbol goes out. The appliance
switches off, and the clock appears again.
1.Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to

Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
: Risk of electric shock!
Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use
any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
9
: Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.
: Risk of injury!
Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a
crack. Do not use a glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning
aids or detergents.
Notes
■ Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■ Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
■ Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be
removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup
of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent
delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at
maximum microwave power.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Do not use
■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance
door,
■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
■ any coarse scouring pads or cleaning sponges,
■ cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.
Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Area Cleaning agents
Appliance front Hot soapy water:
Clean using a dish cloth and then dry
with a soft cloth. Do not use glass cleaners or metal or glass scrapers for cleaning.
Stainless steel Hot soapy water:
Clean using a dish cloth and then dry
with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of
limescale, grease, starch and albumin
(e.g. egg white) immediately. Corrosion
can form under such residues. Special
stainless steel cleaning agents can be
obtained from the after-sales service or
from specialist retailers.

■ Place the frozen food on a flat dish, e.g. a glass or porcelain
plate.
■ After defrosting in the appliance, leave the food to continue
defrosting for a further 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an
even temperature.
■ Liquid will be produced when meat, poultry or fish is
defrosted. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry
and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or
allow it to come into contact with other foods.
■ Place beef, lamb and pork on the cookware fatty-side down
first.
■ Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it
quickly becomes stale.
■ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already
defrosted.
■ Whole poultry should be placed in the cookware breast-side
down and poultry portions skin-side down.

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best for your dish and there are tips about cookware and preparation.
Notes
■ The values in the table always apply to food placed into the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only
preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do
so.
■ The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They
depend on the quality and consistency of the food.
■ Additional accessories may be obtained from specialist
retailers or from the after-sales service.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking
accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied: Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time, Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
Check the temperature.

Defrosting
Notes
■ Place the frozen food in an open container on the cooking
compartment floor.
■ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
■ Liquid will be produced when meat, poultry or fish is
defrosted. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry
and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or
allow it to come into contact with other foods.
■ Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
further 10 to 30 minutes so that the temperature can even
out. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Notes
■ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The
different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
■ Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it
is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
■ Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
■ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
plates from the oven.
■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
require less seasoning.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Heating food
: Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the
container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil
over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Caution!
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm
from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could
irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
Notes
■ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The
different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for

Check the temperature.
■ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing

cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
