Safety Instructions

Heater Operation

1. Before using CONVECTION,

COMBINATION or GRILL function for the
first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven
cavity and operate the oven without food
and accessories on CONVECTION 250°C,
for 20 minutes. This will allow the oil that is
used for rust protection to be burned off.
This is the only time the oven is used
empty.

2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents

on the cabinet and the oven door will get
hot during CONVECTION, COMBINATION
and GRILLING, take care when opening or
closing the door and when inserting or
removing food and accessories.

3. The oven has two quartz heaters situated

in the top of the oven. After using the
CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL
functions, care should be taken to avoid
touching the inside surfaces of the oven, as
these will be very hot.

N.B. After cooking by these modes, the
oven accessories will be very hot.

4. The accessible parts may become hot in

CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL
use. Young children should be kept away
and children should only use the oven
under adult supervision due to the
temperatures generated.

Fan Motor Operation

While the oven is in Microwave/Heater
operation, the cooling fan always rotates to
cool the electric components. After the
completion of operation, the fan may continue
rotating for a while. This is perfectly normal,
and you can take out the food from the oven
while the fan is still in operation.

Oven Light

When it becomes necessary to replace the
oven light, please consult your dealer.

Accessories

The oven comes equipped with a variety of
accessories. Always follow the directions given
for use of the accessories.

Glass Tray

1. Do not operate the oven without the roller

ring and the glass tray in place.

2. Never use another type of glass tray than

the one specially designed for this oven.

3. If the glass tray is hot, let it cool before

cleaning or placing in water.

4. The glass tray can turn in either direction.

5. If the food or cooking vessel on the glass

tray touches the oven walls and stops the
tray rotating, the tray will automatically
rotate in the opposite direction. This is
normal.

6. Do not cook foods directly on the glass

tray, except when cooking Jacket Potatoes
in microwave mode.

Roller Ring

1. The roller ring and the oven floor should be

cleaned frequently to prevent noise and
build-up of remaining food.

2. The roller ring must always be used for

cooking together with the glass tray.

Important Information

1. Cooking Times

• Cooking times given in the cookbook are

approximate. The cooking time depends on
the condition, temperature, amount of food
and on the type of cookware.

• Begin with the minimum cooking time to

help prevent overcooking. If the food is not
sufficiently cooked you can always cook it
for a little longer.

N.B.: If the recommended cooking times
are exceeded the food will be spoiled and
in extreme circumstances could catch
fire and possibly damage the interior of
the oven.

2. Small Quantities of Foods

• Small quantities of food or foods with low

moisture content can burn, dry out or catch
on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside
the oven should ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off and remove the
plug from the socket.

3. Eggs

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole

hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure
may build up and the eggs may explode,
even after the microwave heating has
ended.

4. Piercing Skin

• Food with non porous skins, such as

potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be
pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to
prevent bursting.

5. Meat Thermometer

• Use a meat thermometer to check the

degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only
when the meat has been removed from the
oven. Do not use a conventional meat
thermometer when using MICROWAVE or
COMBINATION because it may cause
sparking.

6. Liquids

• When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and

beverages in your microwave oven,
overheating the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence of bubbling. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the hot
liquid. To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:

a) Avoid using straight-sided containers

with narrow necks.

b) Do not overheat.

c) Stir the liquid before placing the

container in the oven and again halfway
through the cooking time.

d) After heating, allow it to stand in the

oven for a short time, stir again before
carefully removing the container.

7. Paper/Plastic

• When heating food in plastic or paper

containers, check the oven frequently as
these types of containers ignite if
overheated.

• Do not use recycled paper products (e.g.

Kitchen Roll) unless the paper product is
labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires during use.

• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags

before placing the bags in the oven.

8. Utensils/Foil

• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles

because they might explode.

• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim

should not be used during Microwave
cooking. Sparking will occur.

• If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes

or metalware the distance between them
and the oven walls and door should be at
least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

9. Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars

• The top and teat or lid must be removed

from feeding bottles or baby food jars before
placing in the oven.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby

food jars are to be stirred or shaken.

• The temperature has to be checked before

consumption to avoid burns.

of -18°C. Food should be frozen in suitable portions and shapes, so that the food fits into the
appliance for defrosting. All packaging material should be removed where possible. If it is difficult
to remove the the packing, start defrosting at 1000W for 1-2 minutes. Place the food onto a plate
to defrost.

With the meat/fish program put food on an upturned saucer, so the meat juices can drip off.
Under no circumstance should this meat juice be re-used or come into contact with other foods.
When thawing out with the auto-weight programs standing time is necessary, until the food is
thawed out completely or can be processed further. Depending upon weight and type of the food
up to 90 minutes may be required.

Questions and Answers

Q: Why wonʼt my oven turn on? A: When the oven does not turn on, check the

following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely?

Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10
seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace the
fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right,

plug another appliance into the outlet. If
the other appliance works, there proba­bly is a problem with the oven. If the
other appliance does not work, there
probably is a problem with the outlet. If it
seems that there is a problem with the
oven, contact an authorized Service
Center.

Q: My microwave oven causes interference

with my TV. Is this normal?

A: Some radio and TV interference might occur

when you cook with the microwave oven.
This interference is similar to the interfer­ence caused by small appliances such as
mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does
not indicate a problem with your oven.

Q: The oven wonʼt accept my program. Why? A: The oven is designed not to accept an

incorrect program. For example, the oven
will not accept a fourth stage, and will not
accept Auto Weight Program after Delay
Start.

Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven

vents. Why?

A: The heat given off from the cooking food

warms the air in the oven cavity. This
warmed air is carried out of the oven by the
air flow pattern in the oven. There are no
microwaves in the air. The oven vents
should never be blocked during cooking.

Q: There are humming and clicking noises

from my oven when I cook by
COMBINATION. What is causing these
noises?

A: The noises occur as the oven automatically

switches from microwave power to CON­VECTION/GRILL to create the combination
setting. This is normal.

Q: Can I check the pre-set oven temperature

while cooking or preheating by
CONVECTION?

A: Yes. Press Convection Pad and the oven

temperature will appear in the display win­dow for 2 seconds.

Q: Can I easily cook my favourite recipes

using CONVECTION/GRILL?

A: Yes. You can cook your favourite recipe just

as you would in a conventional oven. Check
instructions in the Panasonic Cookbook for
suggested oven temperatures and cooking
times.

English

En-23

Questions and Answers

Q: “D” appears in the display and the oven

does not cook. Why?

A: The oven has programmed DEMO MODE.

This mode is designed for retail store
display. Deactivate this mode by pressing
Microwave pad once and Stop/Cancel pad 4
times.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven thermometer

in the oven?

A: Only when you are using

CONVECTION/GRILL cooking mode. The
metal in some thermometers may cause
arcing in your oven and should not be used
on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION
cooking modes.

Q: My oven has an odour and generates

smoke when using the CONVECTION,
COMBINATION and GRILL function. Why?

A: After repeated use, it is recommended to

clean the oven and then run the oven
without food, glass tray, and roller ring on
CONVECTION 250°C for 20 minutes. This
will burn off any food, residue or oil which
may cause an odour and/or smoking.

Q: The oven stops cooking by microwave and

'H97' or 'H98' appears in the display. Why?

A: This display indicates a problem with the

microwave generation system. Please
contact an authorised service centre.

Care of Your Oven

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals

and door seal areas clean. When food
splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the
oven walls, door seals and door seal
areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild
detergent may be used if they get very
dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasive is not
recommended.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANERS.

3. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.

4. The outside oven surface should be

cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside the
oven, water should not be allowed to seep
into the ventilation openings.

5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it

with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on the Control
Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel,
leave the oven door open to prevent the
oven from accidentally turning on. After
cleaning touch STOP/CANCEL Pad to
clear the display window.

6. If steam accumulates inside or around the

outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under high
humidity conditions and in no way
indicates a malfunction of the unit.

7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the

glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

8. The roller ring and oven cavity floor

should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven with mild detergent
and hot water then dry with a clean cloth.
The roller ring may be washed in mild
soapy water. Cooking vapours collect
during repeated use but in no way affects
the bottom surface or roller ring wheels.
After removing the roller ring from the
cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to
replace it in the proper position.

9. When using the GRILL, CONVECTION or

COMBINATION mode, some foods may
inevitably splatter grease on to the oven
walls. If the oven is not cleaned
occasionally, it may start to “smoke”
during use.

10. A steam cleaner is not to be used for

cleaning.

11. This oven should only be serviced by

qualified personnel. For maintenance and
repair of the oven contact the nearest
authorized dealer.

12. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check

that no dust or other material is blocking
any of the air vents on the top, bottom or
rear of the oven. If air vents become
blocked this could cause overheating
which would affect the operation of the
oven and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.

13. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to deterioration of
surfaces that could affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.

Which containers to use?

For microwave cooking

• Only use white kitchen paper for short

amounts of time. Do not use patterned
kitchen paper.

• Only use plastic which is microwave-safe. Do

not use melamine.

• Do not cook foods with a high fat or sugar

content in plastic containers.

• Only use straw or wicker containers for very

short amounts of time. Make sure they do
not have metal fastenings.

• Only use earthenware or stoneware

containers if they are completely enamelled.

• To use the accessories provided with your

oven please refer to the guidelines on page 7
of your operating instructions.

• DO NOT use porcelain with gold or silver

decoration. Sparks could be produced which
would damage the decoration.

For combination cooking

• You can use smooth metal moulds during

combination cooking by placing them on the
metal tray. For more details please refer to
page 10. Do not use spring form tins or
enamelled iron kitchenware.

• If you see any sparks, turn off the oven and

continue to cook using the traditional
methods (grill, turbogrill or convection
heating) or, if possible, change the container
used.

• DO NOT place metal containers directly on

the wire rack.

2. Place this bowl next to the container you

want to test, on the glass tray. If the
container to be tested is very wide, place
the measuring bowl inside it.

3. Heat on MAX for 1 minute.

Result

If the container is suitable for microwaves, it
will stay the same temperature whilst the water
will be warm. If the container seems hot, that
means it absorbs microwave energy.
Therefore you cannot use it in Microwave
mode.

Note: This test cannot be used for plastic
containers or containers which are completely
enamelled, such as Le Creuset ® cookware,
as these dishes have cast iron underneath the
layers of enamel.

How do microwaves work?

Microwaves have three properties:

In conventional cooking, the hotplate or oven has to heat up first, then the baking dish, before the
heat can reach the food.
This is a long process which wastes a lot of energy. With microwaves, however, the heat reaches
the food directly, with no detours on the way.

The microwaves penetrate the food directly and cause the water, fat or sugar molecules to
vibrate. The friction caused by this produces heat, which then heats the food directly (like when
we rub our hands together to warm them).

This property is called absorption, in other words the transfer of microwave energy to the water
molecules.
Microwaves also have the property of passing through certain materials, in particular glass,
porcelain, ceramic or even paper, without heating up the material itself. If the containers do get
hot, it is because heat is transferred to them from the hot food.

However, microwaves are reflected off metal, so they bounce off the walls and the metal door
screen, back onto the food.

This is why, for microwave cooking, no metal containers or plates with gold or silver decoration
can be used.

English

En-29

How to cook with microwaves

Covering

Cover fish, vegetables, soups and stews.
Leave cakes, sauces and potatoes (skin on)
uncovered. Like in traditional cooking, moisture
evaporates during microwave cooking. Cover
the container with the suitable lid or with cling
film.

Stirring and turning

When cooking large quantities, it is often
necessary to stir the food during the cooking
process in order to move the food from the
edge of the dish towards the middle and vice
versa. Large pieces of meat or poultry should
be turned half-way through the cooking
process. On Auto programmes, a beeping
sound will remind you to do this.

Initial temperature

The colder the food is to begin with, the longer
the cooking or reheating will take. Leftover food
kept at room temperature will be reheated more
quickly than leftover food taken straight from
the refrigerator.

Size and shape of container

Microwaves cook more effectively if food is
placed in a round dish rather than a rectangular
or square one. The same quantity of food will
cook more quickly in a wide dish than in a tall
narrow one. Follow the instructions given in the
recipes. Cooking times vary significantly
depending on the size and shape of the
containers used.

En-30

How to cook with microwaves

Spreading out the food

Food cooks more quickly and evenly if it is
separated and spread out in the dish. Avoid
piling up or cramming in the food.

Arranging the food

Individual portions such as chicken legs, pork
chops etc. must be arranged in the dish so that
the meaty parts are at the edge of the dish and
the less meaty parts (which need less cooking)
are in the middle.

Quantity

Cooking times are proportional to the quantity
of food to be cooked. 500g of potatoes will cook
more quickly than 1kg.

Standing time

Leave roast meat, whole potatoes (wrapped
in aluminium foil) and cakes to stand
outside the oven for 10 to 15 minutes after
cooking. Most food continues to cook once the

oven is switched off, due to the conduction of
heat. Take this into account when calculating
cooking times.

English

En-31

How to cook with microwaves

Ingredients

Food which contains a lot of fat, sugar or salt
heats up very quickly. The filling may be much
hotter than the crust. Be careful when eating.
Do not overheat, even if the crust does not
seem very hot.

Density

Light and airy foods cook more quickly than
heavy dense foods.

Pricking

The skin or airtight membrane of certain food
items prevents steam from escaping during the
cooking process. For example: eggs, potatoes,
apples, sausages, etc.

Cooking time

The cooking times given are approximate and
may vary depending on the initial temperature
of the food, size of container used, quality of
the ingredients and your personal taste. Check
the food during the cooking process.
Remember that undercooked food can be
cooked for longer, whilst overcooked food may
be spoilt.

Choosing the right microwave

cooking power

The 6 possible cooking powers act like the
thermostat of a traditional oven to control the
speed of cooking. Some dishes - for example
soups and stews - need different cooking
powers to be used (MAX for 10 minutes to
bring the food to the boil, before continuing the
cooking process for one hour at 250W). Your
oven allows you to use 3 consecutive stages of
cooking (see directions for use).

NOTES: (1) Whilst the food is cooking, you can
extend the cooking time by pressing the 1 min
pad.

(2) The maximum duration using MAX power is
30 minutes. - The maximum duration using
Defrost mode is 99 minutes 50 seconds.

The EXPRESS function allows you to start

cooking at MAX power immediately, simply by

choosing the cooking time and pressing Start.

Note: This chart is for cooking using microwaves only. Refer to page 10 for instructions for

combination cooking.

Convection heating

This traditional cooking method (100°C to
220°C) allows you to cook food using heat
produced by the ventilated element in the top
of the oven. NO MICROWAVES are used in
Convection Heating mode: you can therefore

use any metal dishes or heat-resistant
containers. NB: you can choose a

temperature from 100° to 220°C in 10°C
increments. For quick selection, temperature
starts at 150°C.

Preheating

Remember to preheat the oven for the best
results when cooking meat and pastries. It is
preferable to preheat the oven with the
accessories inside and not to open the oven
door whilst it is preheating. See directions for
use, page 12. The convection assisted top fan
of this oven is particularly quick in browning the
top of cakes, so it may be necessary to reduce
the temperature by 20°C when using cooking
temperatures stated in other cookbooks.

Accessories

In order to get a nice base colour for cakes you
must preheat the oven with the metal tray. For
browning the top of a gratin or grilling relatively
thin meat, you may place the dish on the wire
rack, on the metal tray.

Check the food several times and don't
hesitate to cover the top of a cake or a quiche
with a round of baking foil. You can also lower
the temperature during cooking (press
Convection pad once to indicate the
temperature in the display window, then,
several presses will change the temperature ­by increments of 10°C)

Warning:

in Convection and Grill Heating mode, the accessories and the oven will be very

hot. Take care not to burn yourself.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PREHEAT THE
GRILL.
The quartz Grill on your oven browns and
crisps for a wide variety of foods.

The Grill provides 3 Grill Settings:
1 Press Grill 1 1300 W
2 Presses Grill 2 950 W
3 Presses Grill 3 700 W

Place food to be grilled on the wire rack or in a
shallow dish on wire rack. Place this on the
metal tray. For large weight foods, place the
dish directly on the metal tray.
The food being grilled should normally be
turned over after half the grilling time.
Never cover foods when grilling.
There is NO MICROWAVE POWER ON THE
GRILL ONLY PROGRAM

Combination cooking:

Grill or Convection Heating with Microwaves

What is combination cooking?

Combination cooking adds microwaves to the
traditional cooking process in order to obtain
the taste of traditionally cooked food whilst
reducing cooking times by a third or by half.

Which foods?

Mainly large food items to be cooked or
roasted, which need to be cooked for a long
time, whether they are meat, fish, gratins or
cakes. However, small items (biscuits, pastries,
steaks, brioches, meringues, choux pastry ...),
soufflés and small joints of red meat are not
suitable for Combination cooking.

How does it work?

Press the Combi pad then follow the
instructions (or see page En-13 of Operating
Instructions).

When to preheat?

For slow-cooking, simmering, most cakes, flans
and gratins it is not necessary to preheat the

oven. For short cooking times, roast joints,
quiches, tarts, pies, desserts using puff pastry
or dough, it is necessary to preheat the oven.
For Combination cooking using the Grill only,
the oven must not and cannot be preheated.

As the inside of the oven is smaller than
that of a traditional oven, take care not to
burn yourself when you put the dish into
the oven.

How to preheat?

• With preheating:

Choose combination cooking then press
Start without displaying the cooking time.

Preheating takes place without
microwaves being used. It is better to

preheat with the necessary accessories in
place. When the oven reaches the required
temperature, it makes 3 beeps and “P”
flashes in the display. Put the dish into the
oven (without pressing the Stop/Cancel
button), choose the cooking time and press
Start. If you do not select cooking time and
press start, the oven will maintain its
temperature for 30 min then turn itself off.

• Without preheating:

Place the dish in the oven, choose
combination cooking, enter the cooking time
and then press Start.

Advice for cooking using the

combination mode

First of all check, on the previous page,
whether the food item is suitable for
combination cooking.

Container:

• if using a Pyrex ® or ovenproof porcelain

dish: directly onto the metal tray or the wire
rack or the glass tray (Combination with grill)

• if using a metal dish (smooth and non-

springform): on the metal tray only. DO not
place on the wire rack. Metal dish are
recommended for baking cakes and quiches
in order to get a nice browning of bases and
sides.

Cooking time:

Allow for half to two-thirds of the usual cooking
time. Remember to note down your results in

the chart below. Always check your food as it
cooks. Open the oven door, check the food
then press the Start button again to continue
the cooking process.

Temperature and power:

You will not achieve good results by using a
high microwave power during combination
cooking. Increase the temperature by 20 to
30°C - so the cooking time will be shorter - and
use a power of between 100 to 440W
depending on the size and type of food. If
unsure which combination to use, always try to
find the recipe in this book which is the closest
to what you want to make, and follow the
recommended combination.

English

En-35

Automatic defrosting

During automatic defrosting,

beeps will sound to remind
you to stir or turn the food. See also your
instructions for use, page 13.

1-Meat / Fish (200-2500 g)

. Flat pieces of
meat eg. steak,
roulade, mince,
poultry, game, roast
and fish. It is better to
spread out pieces in a
single layer. Separate
the pieces and
turn/stir at beep
sounds. Turn the

joints and poultry at beep sounds and protect
thin, protruding or fatty parts. Allow a standing
time of 15 minutes for pieces to 90 minutes for
joints and poutlry.

Container: having removed the packaging,

place the food in containers which can catch the
liquid released when it defrosts. Do not place
food directly on the glass tray. It is
recommended to place large food items on a
plastic rack or even an upside-down saucer, in
order to prevent the food sitting in its own
juices. It is not necessary to cover the food
during defrosting.

2-Bread / Cake

(100-1500 g): Bread - whole

and sliced, cakes
and pastry cakes
with fruit. Remove
all packaging and
place on a flat plate.
Turn bread over
310 g.

Manual defrosting

Frozen food items which are not suitable for
automatic defrosting can still be defrosted
manually by choosing the MIN power and
entering the defrosting time manually (please
refer to the chart for defrosting times).
The power used is about 270W using a cyclic
defrost. This means that the oven divides the
total defrosting time into 8 sections, alternating
between defrosting and standing time. This
process aims to defrost the middle of the food
item before the outside is cooked.

Defrosting

En-36

Defrosting

General recommendations Standing
time

Small food items can
be cooked
immediately after
defrosting. It is normal
for large food items to
still be slightly frozen
in the middle. They
must be left to

stand

for at least one hour

before cooking. During this standing time, the
temperature evens out and defrosting continues
through conduction. NB: if the food item is not
to be cooked immediately, keep it in the
refrigerator. Never refreeze a defrosted food
item without cooking it first.

Roasting meat on the bone and whole
poultry

It may be necessary
to protect the thin and
protruding parts of
these food items with
small pieces of
aluminium foil in order
to stop these parts
starting to cook.
It is not dangerous to
use small pieces of

aluminium foil in your oven, as long as they do

not touch the oven walls.

Minced or cubed meat, small shellfish

As these food items defrost quickly on the
outside, it is necessary to remove them and mix
during defrosting.

Small items

Cutlets and chicken pieces must be separated
as soon as possible to allow them to defrost
evenly. Fatty items (such as lamb chops)
defrost more quickly.

Check the food as it defrosts, and turn the
food items several times, even when using
an automatic programme. Remove pieces of

meat as and when
they are defrosted.

En-39

Your oven allows you to either reheat items
manually, by choosing the cooking time and
method, or, for many popular dishes, to use the
automatic programmes which calculate the
cooking time and choose the best cooking
method for you.

Automatic Reheating

1. Stews

(300-800 g) - Stews, raviolli, ragouts

or goulash (industrially
prepared or home made. Heat
in a dish with lid, stir after half

cooking time and before standing time.

2. Plated meals (200-500 g) - Industrially

prepared products or home made plated meals
with 3 components. Heat on a plate with cover.
Allow to stand 2 minutes after heating.

1. Frozen chips (200-500 g) - Frozen chips

suitable for cooking in an
oven, instrustrially prepared.

Remove all packaging and
place directly on enamel tray on wire rack. Turn
after

1

⁄2 cooking time.

2. Frozen pizza (100-450 g) - For heating and

browing industrially prepared frozen pizza. Place
on the wire rack on the enamel tray. The results
will vary depending on the topping (vegetables
and seafood will take longer to reheat and brown
than cheese or pepperoni) and depending on the
thickness of the base.

Manual Reheating
(microwave or combination):

All sauces or food items which are liquid or
“moist” should be reheated using microwave
only (dishes in sauce, ravioli, pureed food,
soup, vegetables, starchy food etc.). Food
which must be browned or crispy (gratins,
quiches, pies, pizzas, filled-pastry items, sweet
pastries etc.) should be reheated using
combination cooking.

Container and accessories:

• microwaves only: the food to be reheated
should be placed in containers which are
microwave safe, pyrex®, or ovenproof
porcelain. It is recommended to take food out of
any plastic sachets it may be contained in, as
these could cause the reheating to be very
uneven. It is also more difficult to remove this
packaging when the sachets are piping hot.
Food contained in 2 separate packets (for
example rice and meat for a curry) should if
possible be mixed in order to avoid uneven
temperatures; the more fatty food (e.g. meat)
should be placed in the middle or underneath,
with the food which is denser or contains more
water (e.g. vegetables or potatoes) should be
placed around the outside. Cover the dish or
plate with cling film or a lid. Most packaged
ready-meals give instructions for reheating in
the microwave. Follow the manufacturerʼs
advice but check the temperature of food
before eating and increase the reheating time if
necessary.

• combination cooking: remove packaging
from dry food items (deep pan pizzas or pizzas
for cooking). For moist food items (gratins,
lasagnes, shepherdʼs pie etc.) it is preferable to
use dishes which are microwave safe and heat­resistant, which you place on the metal tray or
the wire rack according to their thickness.
DO NOT place metal or aluminium containers
or aluminium directly on the wire rack.
Preheating (when using Convection mode) is
often recommended. See the charts on page
18 onwards.

Reheating

En-40

General Advice For Reheating
Lid

As a general rule, “moist” food or food with
sauce which is to be reheated in the microwave
must be covered with a lid, dishcover or
clingfilm; “dry” or crispy food or food to be
baked should not be covered. Finally sauces,
drinks and soups which need to be stirred
before and after reheating should not be
covered (be careful the food does not spill) or
should just be covered with a saucer.

Individual portion ready-meals

Place the dense food items around the edges
and spread out the more liquid items. If there is
no sauce, add a knob of butter or other fat on
the starchy food. A standard portion will reheat
in 2 to 3 minutes on MAX power. If you want to
reheat two portions at the same time, place
them one on top of the other using a special
microwave stacker or an upside-down plate on
top of the first portion, remembering to swap
them half-way through the cooking process
(allow for 5 to 6 minutes on MAX altogether).

Aluminium trays
and metal tins

Food in these
containers must be
transferred to other
containers which are
microwave safe.

Soups - Stews

These items may liquify as they defrost, so
make sure you place then in suitable
containers. Remember to cut up the blocks and
stir the pieces as the food reheats.

Filled pastries and pies

The fillings of these items often contain large
amounts of fat, sugar or salt, so they reheat
very quickly and can be much hotter than the
crust. Take care not to overheat and not to burn
yourself. Reheating these food items using
microwaves is not recommended because the
pastry becomes soft. Use combination cooking.

Baby bottles and baby food:
Warning:

after reheating, you must always
test the temperature of the milk or the food in
the usual way (for example on the back of your
hand), BEFORE feeding the baby or young
child, to avoid serious internal burns. The baby
bottle should be shaken vigorously, as the
temperature may vary from the top to the
bottom of the bottle.

Sterilisation: we do not recommend you use

the microwave to sterilise baby bottles.
If you use a microwave steriliser, use the
amount of water advised by the manufacturer
and follow the manufacturerʼs instructions
closely.

Temperature:

Food which has been kept in the refrigerator
will take longer to reheat than food kept at
room temperature.
Always check the temperature before eating,
even if you have kept to the cooking times
indicated in the book or on the packet.
If in doubt, increase the reheating time.

Stirring:

Remember to turn or stir the food as often as
possible during the reheating process in order
to even out the temperature at the edges and
in the middle. Food which cannot be stirred
(such as gratins) must be cut and tested in the
middle.

Standing time:

As heat continues to spread by conduction
after reheating, it is important to wait a few
minutes before eating (from 2-3 minutes for
individual portions, to 8-10 minutes for family­sized dishes). This standing time is essential
when using the automatic programmes.

Tips for microwave cooking

• Soften butter which has been in the

refrigerator

Soften for 35 to 40 s at 100W (for 250g).
Remove the foil wrapper first.

• Rehydrating dried fruit

Add 6 tbsp of water to 200g of prunes or raisins,
(or use rum for certain cake recipes). Mix and
heat on MAX for 2 to 3 min. Leave to stand for 2
min.

• Bring cheese up to room temperature

Cheese which has been kept in the fridge
should be placed in the oven and “ warmed” for
30 s to 1 min (depending on the size) at 250W.

• Hulling almonds or hazelnuts

Cover with hot water and cook for 3 to 6 min at
MAX (until the water boils). Rinse in cold water
and drain. The outer skin can then be removed
more easily.

• Drying herbs

Put kitchen paper on the glass tray. Spread out
the finely chopped fresh herbs on the kitchen
paper. Do several batches if necessary. Heat
on MAX for a few minutes checking every 30 s
until the herbs begin to dry out. You have to be
very careful, if the herbs stay in the oven too
long they may disintegrate and even catch fire.
Leave the dried herbs on the kitchen paper for
2 hours at room temperature then store them in
sealed jars.

• Making caramel

Cook 100g of sugar with 2 tbsp of water in a
bowl for 2 to 3 min on MAX checking carefully
after 1 min 30 s. Remove the caramel before
it becomes dark, it will finish cooking outside
the oven. You can stop it cooking by adding 2
tbsp of very hot water (take care it does not
splash).

• Softening set honey

Remove the lid, place the jar in the oven and
heat at 250W for 20 to 40 s depending on the
quantity. Stir and repeat the operation if
necessary.

• Make crispy croutons quickly: Slice 2 slices

of bread into small cubes. Spread cubes out on
a plate. Heat at MAX for 2 min then leave to
stand for 5 min. You can rub a clove of garlic
on the slices of bread before cutting them up,
or moisten them with a few drops of olive oil.

• Get more juice from an orange or a lemon

Before squeezing, heat 1 orange or 1 lemon for
30 to 40 s at MAX, then squeeze it straight away:
it will give more juice.

• Melt chocolate

Break the chocolate into small pieces in a bowl
and heat at 600W for 2 min to 2 min 30 s for
100g (the heating time may vary depending on
the amount of cocoa solids and sugar). Stir at
least once during cooking.

• Melt butter

100g of butter in a ramekin covered with a
saucer will melt in 1 min - 1 min 10 s at 600W.

• Re-crisp nibbles or crisps softened by

moisture

Spread out a handful of crisps on kitchen paper
on a plate and heat at MAX for 40 to 60 s
depending on the quantity. Wait a few seconds
before eating them.

• Soften ice-cream from the freezer

If possible remove the ice-cream from its
packaging and place on a plate. Heat for 1 to
2 min at 250W for half a litre and 2 to 3 min for
1 litre.

• Make dough rise

Place the covered dough in the oven and heat
for approx 5 min at 100W (for 500g of dough).
Leave the dough to stand inside the oven
(sheltered from the air) until it has doubled in
size.

• Make mulled wine

In a heat-resistant glass (or mug) mix 20cl of
red wine with the zest of a lemon, a pinch of
cinnamon, a clove and 2 to 4 sugar lumps,
according to taste. Heat at MAX for 1 min to 1
min 30 s.

• Deodorise your oven

To remove lingering fish smells from your oven,
place a bowl of white vinegar or water with
lemon juice inside the oven. Heat at MAX for 5
min. Dry the condensation on the oven walls
with a cleaning cloth.

• Make a hot compress

Heat up a clean folded dampened cloth on a
plate for 1 to 2 min at MAX. Check the
temperature before using.

Soups, starters and eggs

Home-made soups

If you make your own soups, you should
cut all the vegetable to more or less the
same size, and dice the potatoes. Use a
container which is large enough (at least

twice the volume of the soup to be cooked) to
avoid any spillage. Add a small amount of
liquid so the microwaves cook the vegetables
first. Cover and cook at MAX for 10 to 15 min.
Stir once the vegetables are well cooked.
Finish the soup with hot stock to obtain the
required volume. If you want to add pasta or
noodles to the soup, continue cooking it for a
few minutes at MAX.

Quiches

*Combination cooking allows you to cook

your quiches and savoury tarts with slightly
shorter cooking times. Preheat the oven to
220°C with the metal tray on the glass tray.
Only use non-springform smooth metal tins
which are placed on the metal tray once the
oven is up to temperature. Depending on the
size of the tin, cook for 25 to 30 minutes in
Combination mode 220° + 100W.

Don't forget to cover the top of the quiche
with a double round of baking paper after
approx. 10-12 min to prevent overbrowning.
*Traditional cooking using Convection

heating: it is preferable to use metal tins which
are placed on the metal tray in an oven
preheated to 220°C. Continue cooking at a
lower temperature for 180° to 210°C as
indicated in your recipe.

With all cooking modes, don't forget, after 10 to
15 min of cooking, to cover the top of quiche
with baking foil (Convection mode) or Baking
paper (Combination mode) to prevent
overbrowning and always remember to remove
the cooked quiches from the tin and allow them
to cool on a rack. This means the steam which
condenses as the quiche cools will not make
the pastry go soft.

Eggs - Cheese

Do not try to cook eggs in their shells. In the

microwave they would explode due to the
pressure inside the shell. For broken eggs, the
yolk will also explode if the film covering it is
not pierced. Always remember therefore to
prick the middle of the yolk with a tooth-pick; if
the egg is fresh the yolk should not run. The
yolk and the white react differently to the
microwaves and unfortunately it is the yolk

which cooks more quickly.

Poached eggs: heat 50ml of salted water

with a dash of vinegar for 1 min on MAX. Break
the egg into the
boiling water and
gently prick the yolk
and the white with a
tooth-pick; cook at
600W for 30 to 50 s
(depending on the
grade of the egg).
Leave to stand for 1 min before draining and
serving.

Scrambled eggs: mix 2 raw eggs in a bowl

with a bit of cream or milk, a knob of butter, salt
and pepper. Cook for 40 s at MAX. Remove
from the oven and beat vigorously with a fork.
Continue cooking at MAX for another 30 to 50
sec. The eggs should stay creamy.

Baked eggs: break the egg into a buttered

ramekin, add salt and pepper, prick the yolk
and white with a tooth-pick. Add the desired
ingredients (cream, mushrooms, lumpfish roes
etc.). Cover and allow for approx. 2 min
cooking per egg at 250W.

Cheese: different types of cheese react

differently; the more fatty they are the more
quickly they melt. If they are cooked for too
long they will go hard. When possible, it is
preferable to add grated cheese at the last
moment (for pasta, gratins, etc.) or to mix it in
with the food rather than adding it in a layer on
the top.

Marbled Salmon and Spinach Terrine

Cooking time: 15 min 6-8 people - MICROWAVE
Container: 1 Pyrex® loaf tin, 22-25 cm long

Spread the fillets out on a plate, cover and cook on MAX for
approximately 3 minutes (they should only just be cooked),
cut them into 2, putting the thickest pieces to one side to
later place end-to-end in the tin. Flake the thinner pieces in
a bowl and mix with the drained spinach, cream, well­beaten eggs, salt and pepper. Grease the tin well with
butter. Pour in half the spinach mixture. Season the fillet
pieces well and place them in the tin close together, end-to­end. Cover with the remaining spinach mixture. Cover the
tin with cling film and cook in the microwave at MAX for 4
minutes, then take it out, wrap aluminium foil around the 2
to 3 cm from the ends of the tin and continue cooking at
250W for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the dish to cool without the
cling film then place in the fridge. The terrine can be served
in slices, with a tomato coulis or with cream cheese with
herbs and lemon juice.

500 g spinach, defrosted

(6 min on MAX),

2 tbsp cream,

4 salmon fillets

Aubergine Caviar

Cooking time: 16 - 18 min 4 people - MICROWAVE
Container: 1 round Pyrex® cake tin, 22 cm diameter

Finely chop the onion and sweat in 5 tbsp of olive oil,
covered, at MAX for 3 minutes. Add the washed and diced
aubergines and the peeled and crushed garlic. Cook at
MAX for 13 to 15 min. Start cooking with the dish covered.
Halfway through take out the dish, stir and complete the
cooking with the dish uncovered, to ensure that the water
from the vegetables evaporates. Blend the mixture in a food
processor and check the seasoning. The caviar is perfect
for canapés; if it is too strong, you can add 200 g of yoghurt
or cream cheese to the mixture.

1 large onion,

2 plump aubergines (approx. 500 g),

5 cloves of garlic, salt, pepper,

200 g of cream cheese or yoghurt

(optional), olive oil.

Vegetables and starchy food

Use the automatic button for
VEGETABLES to cook most

fresh vegetables without
calculating cooking times (see exceptions in
the table on p.33). Follow the guidelines from
the operating instructions. Beeps will sound
half-way through the cooking time to remind
you to stir or turn the vegetables. When doing
so, take care not to burn yourself when
removing the lid or cling-film.
This programme is not suitable for cooking
steam-in bag vegetables.

Containers

• Place the vegetables in a container which is

microwave safe of a
suitable size for the
amount of
vegetables.
It is better to use
wide dishes (such as
a high-sided wide
Pyrex® dish) than
tall narrow dishes.
Avoid using bowls,
even large ones.

• It is
recommended,
when possible, to
cut the vegetables
into equal pieces to
allow then to cook
evenly.

• Vegetables with
fragile tips such as
asparagus or

broccoli should be
placed in such a way that the tips are in the
centre of the dish and the stalks (which require
more cooking) at the edges.

• Whole vegetables with skin should be
pricked in order to allow the steam to escape
and prevent them from exploding (potatoes,
aubergines, tomatoes, etc.)

Standing time

It is necessary to leave vegetables to stand for
at least 5 min after cooking, except for
vegetables which contain a lot of water
(courgettes, endives, spinach or tomatoes)
which should be left for approx. 2 min standing
time. It is normal for vegetables to seem
undercooked when removed from the oven,
they will finish cooking during the standing
time.

Accessory

When cooking vegetables using microwaves
only, and when using the VEGETABLES
automatic programme, place the dish directly
on the glass tray.

When cooking gratins using Combination
cooking, place a heat-resistant dish which is
microwave safe on metal tray on the glass tray.
When browning the cheese top of already
cooked gratins, place the heat-resistant and
microwave safe container on the wire rack.

Lid

When using microwaves only or the automatic
button, the vegetables must be covered with a
suitable lid or
cling-film. The steam
held in by the lid will
help to cook the
vegetables quickly
and evenly.

Vegetables

En-54

It is necessary to add water?

There is a difference between:

• Vegetables which contain a lot of water such

as: tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines,
mushrooms, spinach, endives, lettuce,
onions, peppers, most fruits etc., need little
or no added water, since the microwave
cooking uses the water naturally found in
these foods.

• Vegetables which contain some water, to

which you should add 9 to 10 tbsp of water
(appr. 100 ml), in order to create steam
which will cook the vegetables and stop
them drying out:

cauliflower, leeks, broccoli, Brussels sprouts,
fennel, carrots, celeriac, asparagus,
Jerusalem artichoke. parsnips, borlotti
beans, potatoes, cabbage, turnips,
artichokes, green beans, etc.

• Vegetables which do not contain much water,

to which you should add 13 to 15 tbsp of
water in order to keep the vegetables moist:
peas, broad beans, fresh beans.
For all vegetables: cook at MAX power and
add salt after cooking, not before. Salt
absorbs the natural moisture in the
vegetables and can dry them out.

Vegetables and starchy food

Starchy food

Rice and pasta can be cooked on the
automatic programs. Please refer to p.15.

Rice, bulgur wheat, quinoa: once the

liquid is boiling, allow for approx. 20 minutes
cooking at 250W regardless of the quantity of
rice (except easy-cook rice) and 14 to 18
minutes at 250W for bulgur wheat or quinoa.

Couscous: add 1 to 1.5 parts of hot salted

water to 1 part of couscous, cover and bring to
the boil at Max for 2 to 3 min (for 200g of
medium couscous with 250ml of water) then
rehydrate for approx. 3 to 4 min at 250W. Fluff
up with a fork before serving.

Pasta: remember to add salt to the cooking

water and stir at least
once during cooking.
When the liquid boils,
allow 7 to 8 min at
MAX for 250g of pasta
(for 1 litre of water) and
10 min for 250g of
ravioli.

Dried vegetables: cooking times for dried

vegetables in the microwave are the same as
those for traditional cooking but reheating is
quicker and easier, if the vegetables are placed
in a closed container, mixed with butter or with
sauce. To cook the vegetables, soak them
overnight if necessary. If not, cover them in
water in a large container. Do not add salt
before cooking (this hardens the dried
vegetables).
Allow 10 min at MAX then 15 to 30 min at
250W. Check them while they cook and add
water if necessary, the dried vegetables must
be covered in liquid.

English

En-55

• Frozen vegetables should not be defrosted.

They should always be cooked from frozen.
Thatʼs why this book does not contain
defrosting times for frozen vegetables.

• Frozen vegetables should not be cooked in

their packaging. They must be transferred to
a container which is microwave safe.

• When you cook a mixture of frozen

vegetables, some vegetables may be less
cooked than others; this is due to the
different characteristics of these vegetables.

• Most frozen mashed potato and vegetable

puree on the market (sold in small blocks) is
already cooked; reheat it for 8 to 9 min at
1000W stirring half-way through cooking
(for 500g).

• You will only notice the speed of cooking

when cooking small quantities (less than
1kg). For large quantities the cooking times
get much longer, it is better to cook several
smaller batches.

• It is ESSENTIAL to stir the vegetables at

least once during cooking. When using the
Automatic programme, a beep will sound
during cooking to remind you.

• To make vegetable puree, add a few minutes

to the cooking time so your vegetables will
be very well cooked and easy to puree.

• Cooking some vegetables in the microwave,

depending on how fresh they are, does not
give very satisfactory results. You may prefer
to cook these using traditional cooking
methods (peas, whole carrots, broad beans,
beans, mixed vegetables).

• When cooked using microwaves, brown

marks appear on vegetables which are rich
in iron such as cabbage, cauliflower or
broccoli. This is harmless.

Meat and poultry

Your oven allows you to cook meat using
combination cooking (automatic programmes
or manual mode, ideal for large pieces of meat
or slow-cooking), using traditional methods ­convection heating, grill (for small pieces of
meat or specific recipes) and finally using
microwaves only (to quickly finish cooking a
fricassee, poultry in sauce or meat cooked on
the barbecue).

Combination cooking

Automatic programmes

(Whole Poultry).

This program allows you to
roast poultry without having to calculate the
cooking time. It combines traditional heating
with microwaves in order to obtain well­browned roast chicken more quickly.

(900 to 2000 g): Whole chicken, duck or spring
chicken, turkey legs and turkey breast. Oven
must be preheated. Start cooking with breast or
skin side down. Turn at beep sound.

Advice for using automatic
programmes:

• Accessories: use only the accessories

displayed, which are also given on page 16
of the operating instructions.

• Beeps: when you hear the beep, remember

to turn the meat.

• Preheating- for whole poultry program

only - is necessary

• Not suitable for frozen meat or meat which

has just been defrosted.
Allow meat to stand for at least 2 hours after
defrosting.

Manual Combination cooking

This is used for roasting all other joints and for
poultry. See charts on page 62 and 63. It is
preferable to preheat the oven when using
manual combination cooking.

Accessories and containers

It is recommended to place the meat on a thin
heat-resistant tray which is microwave safe or
on the metal tray. Large pieces of meat (large
poultry, whole leg of lamb) can be cooked
directly on the metal tray. Dishes containing
meat to be grilled (pieces of chicken, beef ribs)
should be placed on the wire rack. Do not
cover.

• After cooking it is important to allow roast
meat to stand out of the oven, wrapped in
aluminium foil, for 10 to 15 minutes in order to
complete cooking and make it easier to carve.

Advice for combination cooking for
meat

• Do not add salt to the meat before cooking

but afterwards.

• It is important to check the food several

times during cooking (in both Automatic and
manual modes) so you can adjust the
cooking time if necessary.

• Arrange the chicken legs or other poultry so

that the most meaty parts are at the edges of
the dish.

Traditional cooking: convection
heating, grill.

You will find a chart of cooking times using the
Grill on page 9. But you can also use your
usual recipe books for these traditional cooking
methods.

• You can roast meat in your oven in the

traditional way by preheating the oven in
Convection Heating mode before putting the
meat for roasting into the oven and entering
the cooking time. Preheating is essential in
order to seal the meat or poultry.

• The Grill will cook thin pieces of meat:

cutlets, lamb chops, andouillette sausages. It
is not a griddle and is therefore not suitable
for grilling thin pieces of meat such as steaks
or chipolatas. It is not necessary to

preheat the grill.

Note: most importantly the meat must not be

covered, as it cooks due to external heat only.

En-62

Cooking with microwaves only

White meat and pieces of poultry cook perfectly
using microwaves, and this is certainly the
quickest method of cooking them. Microwave
cooking is particularly useful for small pieces of
meat or poultry which will be served in sauce,
or to quickly finish cooking a fricasse or meat
cooked on the barbecue.

Container and accessories:

Place the pieces of meat in a dish which is
microwave safe on the glass tray.

Lid:

It is recommended to cover the meat with a lid
or cling film in order to speed up the cooking
process and stop it spitting. It is normal to find a
lot of liquid in the dish after cooking. The speed
of microwave cooking and the lack of radiant
heat does not allow this liquid to evaporate as it
does in traditional cooking. The loss of weight is
not greater than it is for traditional cooking.

Standing time:

After cooking using either Automatic or manual
mode, it is important to cover the meat and
allow it to stand
out of the oven
for 10 to 15
min, to allow
the cooking to
finish and the
temperature to
even out.

Stews and slow-cooked dishes

It is possible to cook stews using microwaves
only or combined cooking with microwaves, but
it will not be any quicker than using a traditional
cooking method. However, the meat will not
stick to the bottom of the container, and less
energy will be used. Use Pyrex or ovenproof
porcelain casseroles with lids.
BEFORE: the vegetables should be cut into
equal pieces and precooked. For many stew
recipes, it is necessary to flour the pieces of
meat to ensure the sauce sticks to them.
DURING cooking, it is essential that the pieces
of meat stay immersed in the liquid using a
saucer or upside-down plate (to prevent the
meat from drying out). As stews take a long
time to cook and there can be a lot of
evaporation, do not hesitate to add more liquid
during cooking if necessary.
Cover the container
with a lid in order to
limit evaporation.
Bring the stew to
the boil at MAX for
10 to 15 minutes
then continue the
cooking for the
required time using Combination cooking with
CONVECTION HEAT 170°C + 250W. It is not
necessary to preheat the oven for this second
stage.

Fish and shellfish

Microwaves only

For fresh fish, it is preferable to use power
600W so that the Inverter technology preserves
the texture and flavour of the fish as much as
possible.

Container and accessories

Only use dishes which are microwave safe,
placed directly on the
glass tray. As
cooking this way
uses little liquid, it is
imporant to cover

the dish with a lid
or pierced cling­film.

Standing time:

The standing time after cooking is relatively
short (2-3 min), but it is essential to ensure the
fish is evenly cooked.

Using combination or traditional
cooking

• Combination: Grill or Convection +

Microwaves.

Preheat the oven
in Combination
mode using
Convection 220°C
+ 250W or 100W
(depending on the
size of fish), to
braise larger fish on the wire rack.

• Traditional cooking methods (Convection

heat, or Grill).

For small fish or kebabs placed on the wire
rack. For fish parcels in aluminium paper, or
large fish, placed on the metal tray. Preheat
the oven.

Containers and accessories

Depending on the size and thickness of the
fish, the heat-resistant dish is placed on the
metal tray or on the wire rack. For combination
cooking, the dish must also be microwave safe.
As these cooking methods use radiant heat,
the dish must not be covered.

General advice

Automatic Cooking
Fresh Fish

(200 - 1000 g) Fish
Fillet eg. Paice, Cod,
Sea-salmon, redfish,
wolf fish or salmon
filet. Refer to page En­16 for instructions.

Arranging the fish:

fish steaks should be
arranged in a circle
with the thickest part
on the outside.
Uneven or very thin
fish fillets should be
rolled or folded in
order to protect the
thin parts. Whole
small fish (herring,
trout, mackerel)
should be arranged head to tail.

Liquid: add a little stock, white wine or lemon

juice to the fish before cooking. Allow 2 to 3
tbsp per 500g of fish. Adding more liquid will
slow down the cooking process, whereas less
liquid will speed it up.

Salt: do not add salt before cooking as this will

dry out the fish, but you can add pepper and
herbs before cooking.

Composition of the fish: a fillet of oily fish

(halibut, salmon, mackerel) will cook more
quickly than a fillet of white fish (pollock,
whiting, ling). Take this into account by possibly
adding a little more liquid or reducing the
cooking time.

Cooking: when the fish becomes opaque and

starts to come apart when flaked, it is cooked.

Noise: it is normal to hear small noises during

cooking (made by the steam trapped between
the flesh and skin escaping). This noise occurs
more frequently when cooking oily fish such as
salmon or mackerel. You can reduce the noise
by pricking the fish skin in several places.

Speed: fish cooks very quickly in the

microwave; do not cook it until the last minute,
to avoid the need to reheat.

Shellfish: shellfish can be put in the oven as

are they are, but must be taken out as they
open, otherwise they will dry out; if they are
stuffed, their preparation and cooking depends
on the type of filling.

Large fish (more than 500g): it recommended

to turn the fish half-way through cooking and to
protect the tail and head with a small piece of
aluminium foil to avoid possible overcooking.
(Warning: the aluminium must be more than
2cm away from the oven walls).

Fish parcels: you can cook fish parcels in the

microwave by replacing the aluminium foil with
greaseproof paper (also called baking paper),
which is microwave safe.

Sauces
General advice:

• When making your sauce, remember to use a large container to avoid any spillage.

• Stir the sauce before, during and after cooking to prevent it spitting.

• Microwave cooking is particularly useful for creamy sauces such as white sauce as well as thick

sauces containing cornflower, which cook quickly without getting stuck to the bottom of the
container.

• Most sauces can be cooked at MAX except sauces containing egg which cook best at 440W or

600W.

• DO NOT cover sauces, so you can stir them more easily.

• DO NOT leave a wooden spoon in the bowl while cooking. It may dry out or burn. DO NOT leave

a metal spoon in the bowl whilst cooking.

• Reheat emulsion sauces (Béarnaise, Hollandaise, beurre blanc) at 100W power, checking them

as they heat.

add the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Mix and
cook at 600W for 20 to 30 seconds. Remove and whisk
vigorously. Repeat 5 or 6 times until you obtain a creamy
emulsion (the mixture must never boil). The emulsion is
cooked when you can see the bottom of the bowl when you
whisk. Then incorporate the softened butter little by little,
stirring all the time. If necessary, reheat for 10 to 20
seconds at 600W whilst doing this. Check the seasoning
and add a few fresh tarragon leaves. If need to, reheat at

Desserts and Pastries

Your oven offers several ways of baking cakes,
depending on the desired result.

• Cooking using microwaves is perfect and

quick for custards, flans, poached fruit and
compotes as well as cakes containing raising
agent which do not need to go golden on top
(chocolate cake and sponge cake to be
filled).

• Combination cooking allows you to bake

crispy and golden cakes quickly, using
mixture with raising agent or eggs.

• Traditional cooking (Convection heating) is

essential for certain cakes and desserts:
soufflé, savarin, choux pastry, biscuits, sweet
nibbles, shortbread, puff pastry nibbles and
tarts.

Cooking with microwaves only:

Microwaves cook fruits, compotes, custard,
confectioners custard and choux pastry quickly
and perfectly. Furthermore, microwaves are
excellent for cooking starchy puddings such as
rice pudding, tapioca, semolina, without the risk
of the mixture sticking to the bottom of the dish.
Finally, when preparing traditionally cooked
desserts, microwaves are very useful for
melting butter, chocolate and jelly, as well as
making caramel.

Containers and accessories:

Place the container which is

microwave safe

directly on the glass tray.

Preferably

use round

cake tins. Avoid using rectangular tins.

Lid:

- cakes:

DO NOT cover. -

Fruit

: you can cover
fruit compotes which do not contain much water
and leave compotes which contain a lot of
water uncovered.

Fruit: Allow 4 to 5 min at MAX, covered, to

cook 4 medium peeled pears (remember to turn
them half-way through cooking). Allow 4 to 5
min at MAX, covered, for 500g of plums or
pears cut into quarters with 5 tbsps of water
(whole fruit will take a little longer to cook,
depending on its size). For compotes, allow for
6 to 7 min at MAX for 500g of peeled fruit cut
into cubes. Do not add liquid. Cooking times
will always vary depending on the ripeness of
the fruit and the amount of sugar it contains.
If you add dried fruit to cake mixture, always
make sure the fruit is not at the top of the
mixture as they will burn, due to the large
amount of sugar they contain.

Useful to know: it is impossible to cook a

soufflé in a microwave because it will collapse
as soon as you take it out of the oven. Cakes
made of choux pastry will not expand, because
no crust will form to trap the air inside.
However, ready-made cake-mixes cook very
well in the microwave. The cake must be
prepared following the instructions on the
packet and cooked at 600W for 4 to 7 min in a
tin which is microwave safe.

En-78

Desserts and Pastries

Manual Combination cooking:

This combines the effects of radiant heat which
makes the cakes golden, and microwaves
which cook the inside quickly and make the
cakes rise. It is preferable to use a low power
(100W to 250W) with a fairly high temperature
of CONVECTION HEATING (200° to 220°
depending on cooking time) in order to obtain a
satisfactory result. Allow for a cooking time of
at least half or two-thirds of the cooking time for
traditional cooking methods.

Tins:

1) For flans, clafoutis, gratins, use dishes which

are microwave safe and heat-resistant (Pyrex®
or ovenproof porcelain) and preferably round
(or Pyrex® baba cases) or oval.

2) For other cakes (sponge cake, yoghurt cake,
kugelhupf, fruit cake) and tarts, use non-
springform smooth metal tins, preferably
round ones (unless using a loaf tin). Do not use
thin aluminium tins (such as aluminium foil
containers).

3) For tarts, it is important to only use smooth,
non­springform

metal tins
(aluminium or
non-stick), for
the pastry base
to be well
cooked. In all
cases DO NOT COVER.

4) For most desserts (except tarts), you can
also use flexible silicone moulds when using
microwaves, Combination cooking or
Convection Heating.

Accessories:

When using
combination
cooking, metal
tins must
always be
placed on the
metal tray.
Finally, some gratin or flan recipes in Pyrex® or
ovenproof porcelain dishes can be placed
directly on the wire rack on the metal tray. This
is indicated in the recipe.

Preheating:

1) For brioches, items which are cooked

quickly (in less than 20 min), tarts and pies, it is
essential to preheat the oven. You just have to
choose the cooking combination indicated and
press Start. The oven will preheat automatically
without using microwaves. Once the oven is up
to temperature, you only have to choose a
cooking time, put the cake in the oven and
press Start.

2) For other cakes (sponge cake, fruit cake,
yoghurt cake etc.) flans, clafoutis, it is not
necessary to preheat the oven. In all cases if

preheating is necessary for a recipe in this
book, this will be indicated.

GENERAL ADVICE for cooking using
microwaves and combination cooking:

• Check the food as it cooks: when using

microwaves only, a few minutes cooking is
enough, and every extra minute may dry out
the cake.
If the cake goes hard once it has cooled it
has been cooked for too long or at too high a
temperature.

• You can check the cake is cooked using the

traditional method of inserting the tip of a
knife in the middle (it should come out clean)
or by checking if the edges of the cake come
away from the tin easily.

• Containers: If using a container which is very

different to that advised by the recipe (e.g.
several ramekins rather than a round cake
tin), the end result will be different. The same
quantity will cook more quickly in several
small tins than in one single tin. Line the tins
with greaseproof paper so you can remove
them more easily.

• Storing cakes: once the cake is cool,

remember to wrap it in cling film or
aluminium foil to keep it soft.

• Cake mixes: cook perfectly using

combination cooking. Preheat the oven with
the metal tray and use a metal or silicone tin.
Take the cake mix out of the refrigerator at
least 20 minutes before cooking. Don't forget
to protect the top of the cake from excessive
browning with a double round of baking
paper after 8-10 min cooking time.

TRADITIONAL COOKING USING
CONVECTION HEATING

Essential for cooking patisseries such as
savarins, choux pastry, biscuits, soufflés,
meringues etc. But you can also use it for
cooking all cakes and tarts which you do not
want to cook using combination cooking. The
fan assisted convection from the top of your
oven being very efficient, therefore cakes and
pastries can be cooked quickly at a lower
temperature (minus 20-30°) compared to other
cookbook recipes.

Accessories:

• Metal tray will be used for most quiches,

tartes, pies as well as big cakes or loaves
and soufflés. Wire rack on the metal tray
may be used for fruit gratins or crumbles.

Containers:

You can use any heat-resistant container
(metal, silicone, pyrex or ovenproof porcelain).

Preheating: recommended.

Jams and Sweet Items

The microwave oven is perfect for cooking sweet or rich food items quickly. It allows you to make
small quantities of jam with fresh or frozen fruit without having to get out the large jam pan.

• Always use a large Pyrex® container, a lot larger than the volume of fruit or caramel to be

cooked, to avoid any spillage.

• DO NOT cover the jam during cooking.

• To check how cooked your jam is, pour a few drops of the mixture onto a saucer which you

have kept in the fridge. If the jam goes solid or the caramel goes hard, you can stop cooking.

• You can also sterilise your jam jars by half filling them with water and heating them on MAX

until the water boils. Empty them out and leave them upside-down on kitchen paper before
filling them with jam

onto a saucer which has been kept in the fridge. If the drop
goes solid, stop cooking and pour the jam into clean jars.
Close the jars while the mixture is hot and turn them over.
This jam does not contain a lot of sugar, so it will keep for 8
to 10 months at the bottom of the fridge.

Cooking time: approx. 15 min MICROWAVE
Container: 1 bowl, 2 litre capacity

Weigh out the honey, sugar and cream and mix together in
the bowl. Cook on MAX for 12 to 15 minutes (the caramel
should be a nice golden colour and you should be able to
see the bottom of the bowl when you mix with a wooden
spoon). Check every so often, then mix in the butter little
by little to obtain an even mixture. Add the coffee extract if
you wish and pour this caramel into a buttered dish to a
thickness of 2 cm. Leave to cool a little. When the caramel
is cool but still supple, remove it from the dish and cut it
into strips using a large knife or a pair of scissors. Cut these
strips into small squares and sprinkle them with icing sugar
so that they donʼt stick together. These sweets will keep for
8 to 10 weeks in a sealed tin. NB: These sweets will be
even more delicious if you use a strong honey, such as
heather or chestnut honey.

100 g honey,

150 g sugar,

100 g cream,

50 g butter,

1 tbsp coffee extract

(for espresso machines) or

Mikrowellenbetrieb.

2. Die Fettpfanne sollte auf dem
Glasdrehteller oder dem Grillrost plaziert
werden.

Grillrost

1. Der runde Grillrost wird zum Bräunen von

kleineren Portionen benutzt und unterstützt
die gleichmäßige Hitzeverteilung.

2. Beim KOMBINATIONSBETRIEB mit
Mikrowelle oder beim reinen
Mikrowellenbetrieb weder Alu- oder
Metallspieße noch irgendein Metallgeschirr
direkt auf das Rost stellen.

3. Das Rost nicht für den reinen Mikrowellen­Betrieb benutzen.

Wichtige Informationen

1. Kochzeiten

• Die Kochzeit ist abhängig von
Beschaffenheit, Ausgangstemperatur und
Menge des Lebensmittels sowie von der Art
des verwendeten Kochgeschirrs.

• Gehen Sie zunächst von einer kürzeren
Kochzeit aus, um ein Übergaren der
Speisen zu vermeiden. Hat das
Lebensmittel noch nicht den gewünschten
Auftau-, Erwärmungs- oder Garzustand
erreicht, haben Sie immer noch die
Möglichkeit, die Garzeit zu verlängern.

Wird die empfohlene Kochzeit über­schritten, kann das Lebensmittel leicht
verbrennen und ggf. einen Brand aus­lösen und somit den Garraum zerstören.

2. Geringe Lebensmittelmengen

• Sehr kleine Lebensmittelmengen oder
Speisen mit geringem Feuchtigkeitsgehalt
können schnell austrocknen und verbren­nen, wenn sie zu lange gegart werden.
Kommt es zu einem Brand, die Tür des
Mikrowellengerätes geschlossen halten,
das Gerät abschalten und den Netzstecker
aus der Steckdose ziehen.

3. Eier

• Weder rohe oder gekochte Eier in der
Schale noch gepellte hartgekochte Eier mit
Mikrowellen erhitzen oder kochen. Nach
Ende des Mikrowellen-Kochvorgangs kann
sich noch weiterhin Druck bilden und die
Eier können explodieren.

4. Lebensmittel mit Schale oder Haut

• Bei Lebensmitteln wie z.B. Kartoffeln und
Würstchen empfiehlt es sich, sie vor dem
Garen mit Mikrowellen anzustechen, um ein
evtl. Platzen zu vermeiden.

5. Speisethermometer

• Falls Sie den Garzustand mit einem
Speisethermometer überprüfen wollen, ver­wenden Sie bitte keine herkömmlichen
Thermometer im Mikrowellen- und
Kombinationsbetrieb. Diese können Funken
verursachen. Benutzen Sie diese
Speisethermometer nur außerhalb des
Mikrowellengerätes.

6. Flüssigkeiten

• Beim Erhitzen von Flüssigkeiten im
Mikrowellengerät kann durch kurzfristiges
Aufkochen (Siedeverzug) die Flüssigkeit im
Gerät oder bei der Entnahme schlagartig
verdampfen und explosionsartig aus dem
Gefäß geschleudert werden.

Dies kann zu Verbrennungen führen. Sie
vermeiden einen Siedeverzug, indem Sie
beim Erhitzen von Flüssigkeiten in Gläsern

oder Tassen immer ein hitzebeständiges
Glasstäbchen mit hineinstellen oder
größere Gefäße mit einem Deckel bzw.
Teller abdecken. Zusätzlich sollten Sie fol­gende Punkte beachten:

a) Vermeiden Sie die Verwendung von ger-

aden Gefäßen mit engem Ausguß.
b) Überhitzen Sie die Flüssigkeit nicht.
c) Rühren Sie die Flüssigkeit einmal um,

bevor Sie das Gefäß ins Gerät stellen

sowie nochmals nach der halben Kochzeit.
d) Lassen Sie nach Ablauf der Kochzeit das

Gefäß kurze Zeit im Gerät stehen, bevor

Sie es herausnehmen. Rühren Sie die

Flüssigkeit anschließend noch einmal um.

7. Papier und Plastik

• Wenn Behälter aus Papier, Kunststoff oder

anderen leicht entflammbaren Materialien

zum Erwärmen benutzt werden, darf das

Mikrowellengerät nicht unbeaufsichtigt

betrieben werden! Diese Behälter können

sich entzünden.

• Verwenden Sie keine recycelten

Papierprodukte (z.B. Küchenrollen), die

nicht ausdrücklich für die Benutzung im

Mikrowellengerät geeignet sind. Im

Recyclingpapier können Bestandteile sein,

die Funkenbildung oder einen Brand verur-

sachen.

• Entfernen Sie Metallverschlüsse von

Bratfolien, bevor Sie diese ins Gerät stellen.

8. Hilfsmittel und Folien

• Erhitzen Sie keine geschlossenen Flaschen

oder Konserven im Mikrowellengerät, da

diese durch den Druck explodieren können.

• Verwenden Sie während des

Mikrowellenbetriebes weder Geschirr aus

Metall noch Geschirr mit Metallrand.

• Bei Benutzung von Alufolie, Metallspießen

oder anderen Metallwaren darauf achten,

daß sie mindestens 2 cm von der

Gerätewand entfernt sind, um

Funkenbildung zu vermeiden.

9. Babynahrung

• Benutzen Sie nur Fläschchen oder

Glasformen aus hochwertigen

hitzebeständigen Materialien und plazieren

Sie diese ohne Deckel in der Mitte des

Drehtellers.

• Nach dem Erhitzen sollte die Babynahrung

in Fläschchen oder Gläsern gut geschüttelt

bzw. durchgerührt werden, damit ein

Temperaturausgleich stattfinden kann.

• Überprüfen Sie die Temperatur vor dem

Verzehr, um Verbrennungen zu vermeiden.
