■ Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking

compartment for long periods. This will damage the enamel. Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to

corrosion.

■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the

cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over time.

■ 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.

■ Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects

on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance door.

■ Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the

appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

■ 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").

■ Never use the enamel baking tray when cooking with

microwave operation. It will result in a technical fault.

Energy and environment tips

■ 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.

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.

■ 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:

1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to

1 minute.

2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time.

The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.

The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.

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 short circuit!

Never use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean the oven.

: Risk of burns!

Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let the appliance cool down.

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:

■ any caustic 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,

■ hard scouring pads and sponges,

■ cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.

Rinse out new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

For easier cleaning, you can switch on the oven light. Open the appliance door to do so.

Area Cleaning agents

Appliance front Hot soapy water:

Stainless steel Hot soapy water:

Cooking compartment made of stainless steel

Door panels Glass cleaner:

Cleaning the glass cover

The glass oven-light cover is located on the left side wall inside the oven. Undo the screw from the cover. Then you can clean the glass with soapy water.

Self-cleaning surface in the cooking compartment

The back panel of the oven is coated with self-cleaning enamel. It cleans itself while the oven is in operation. Sometimes, larger splashes of food may not disappear until the oven has been operated several times.

Notes

■ Never treat the self-cleaning surface with oven cleaner. If

oven cleaner accidentally gets onto the rear wall, remove it immediately with a sponge and plenty of water.

■ Never use abrasive cleaning agents. You will scratch or

destroy the highly porous coating.

■ Never clean the self-cleaning surface with a scouring pad.

■ Light discolouration of the enamel does not affect self-

sized quantities at -18 °C.

■ Place the frozen food on a flat ovenproof dish, e. g. a glass or

porcelain plate.

■ After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further 15 to

90 minutes until it reaches an even temperature.

■ Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry or fish.

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.

■ 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 dish breast-side down

and poultry portions skin-side down.

Tested for you in our cooking studio.

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and which temperature or microwave power setting is best for your meal. You can find information about suitable accessories and the height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about ovenware and preparation methods.

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. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from the cooking compartment that you will not be using.

■ Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after

they have been preheated.

■ The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They will

depend on the quality and composition of the food.

■ Use the accessories supplied. 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 ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

: Risk of scalding!

When pulling out the enamel baking tray, hot liquid may overflow. Pull out the enamel baking tray carefully from 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 oven floor.

■ Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty

outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.

■ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.

Large pieces of food should be turned several times. Turn to remove any liquid that results from defrosting.

■ Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a

further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can stabilise. 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.

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

■ 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

Microwave tips

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of food you have prepared.

The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave

When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or 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.

About the tables

Notes

■ The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.

■ The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency

and amount of the mixture. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time, since a lower temperature results in more even browning.

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 microwave 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.

■ Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section

following the tables.

■ Always place the cake tin in the centre of the wire rack.

Baking tips

You want to bake according to your own recipe.

Use baking tins made of silicone, glass, plastic or ceramic materials.

How to establish whether sponge cake is baked through.

The cake collapses. Use less liquid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower and extend

The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.

The cake is too dark. Select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.

The cake is too dry. When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a toothpick. Then drizzle fruit

The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky, streaked with water).

Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.

The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. Cakes in these baking tins will be less brown. When using the microwave, the cooking time will be shorter than the time shown in the table.

Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, poke the cake with a cocktail stick at its highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.

the baking time. Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.

Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.

juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher and reduce the baking time.

Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. When baking cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first, cover with almonds or bread crumbs and then add the topping. Please follow the recipe and follow the baking times.

The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.

You have measured the temperature of the oven using your own meat thermometer and found there is a discrepancy.

Sparks are generated between the tin and the wire rack.

After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5 to 10 minutes, then it will be easier to turn out of the tin. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin well and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.

The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer after a specified period of time using a test rack in the centre of the cooking compartment. Ovenware and accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always be some discrepancy when you measure the temperature yourself.

Check that the tin is clean on the outside. Change the position of the tin in the cooking compartment. If this does not help, continue baking but without the microwave. The baking time will then be longer.

Roasting and grilling

About the tables

The temperature and roasting time depend on the type and amount of food being cooked. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time,

For more information, see the section entitled Tips for grilling and roasting which follows the tables.

Ovenware

You may use any heatresistant ovenware which is suitable for use in a microwave. Metal roasting dishes are not suitable for roasting with microwaves.

The ovenware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take the ovenware out of the oven.

Place hot glass ovenware on a dry kitchen towel after they have been removed from the oven. The glass could crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.

Tips for roasting

Use a deep roasting dish for roasting meat and poultry.

Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It should not be too big.

Meat: Cover approx. two thirds of the ovenware base with liquid. Add a little more liquid for pot roasts. Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.

Poultry: Turn the pieces of meat after

Z of the cooking time has

elapsed.

Tips for grilling

Notes

■ Always keep the oven door closed when grilling and do not

preheat.

■ As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should

be of equal thickness. Steaks should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.

■ Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you

pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.

■ Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lighter-

coloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling lightcoloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.

■ The grill element switches off and on again automatically.

This is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this will happen.

Tips for braising

Use ovenware with a lid for braising fish.

Add two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the ovenware.

Which foods are affected?

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products that are heated to high temperatures, such as potato crisps,

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food

General Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not

too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.

Baking biscuits Max. 200 °C in Top/bottom heating or max. 180 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode.

Max. 190° C in Top/bottom heating or max. 170 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode. Egg white and egg yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide.

Oven chips Distribute thinly and evenly over the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a bak-

ing tray so that the chips do not dry out.
