To avoid the danger of fire

The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power
levels that are too high or cooking times
that are too long may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.

This oven is not designed to fit into a kitchen unit.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so
that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with
a minimum 16 A distribution line fuse, or a
minimum 16 A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional
oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If food being heated begins to smoke,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and
unplug the oven and wait until the food
has stopped smoking. Opening the door
while food is smoking may cause a fire.

Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page 22 - 23.

Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity and the turntable after use. After
cooking fatty foods without a lid, always
clean the cavity and especially the grill
heating elements thoroughly. These must
be dry and free from grease. Built-up
grease may overheat and begin to
smoke or catch fire.

Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation
openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from
food and food packages. Arcing on metallic
surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and
the oil may catch fire.

4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in the cookery book
section.

To avoid the possibility of injury

WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a)The door; make sure the door closes properly

and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.

b)The hinges and safety door latches; check to

make sure they are not broken or loose.

c)The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure

that they have not been damaged.

d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make

sure there are no dents.

e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that

they are not damaged.

Never adjust , repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone
other than a competent person to carry
out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of a cover
which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or
alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up
on the door seals and adjacent parts.
Follow the instructions for “Care and
Cleaning” on page 20. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to a deterioration of the
surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result
in a hazardous situation.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker
for precautions regarding microwave ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock

Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns.

To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving and
pay special attention to the temperature
of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly.

Temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink; always
check the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when
opening it, to avoid burns from escaping steam
and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door and accessible
parts that may become hot when the grill is in use.
Children should be kept away to prevent them
burning themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, bottom
grill, accessories and dishes during GRILL, DUAL
and AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO
DEFROST) as they will become hot. Before
cleaning make sure they are not hot.

To avoid misuse by children

WARNING: Only allow children to use
the oven without supervision when
adequate instructions have been given
so that the child is able to use the oven
in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not
play with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of
food coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a
spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and
call an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or work surface.
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces, including the rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or
allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by
SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult
your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised
SHARP service agent.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling:

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and
lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due
to a build up of pressure even after the oven has
been turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide­mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar

utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.

3. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the

oven at the end of cooking time to prevent
delayed eruptive boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and
whole hard boiled eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens since they
may explode even after microwave
cooking has ended. To cook or reheat
eggs which have not been scrambled or
mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites,
or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice
hard boiled eggs before reheating them
in the microwave oven.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

ENGLISH

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the
power level for cooking, follow the advice given in
the recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:

800 WATT (800 P) 100 % used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles,
canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.

560 WATT (560 P) 70 % used for longer
cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat
loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes
such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this
reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and
food will cook evenly without over cooking at the
sides.

P = POWER

400 WATT (400 P) 50 % for dense foods which

require a long cooking time when cooked
conventionally, e.g. beef dishes, it is advisable to
use this power setting to ensure the meat will be
tender.

240 WATT (240 P) 30 % (Defrost setting) to
defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the
dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for
simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg
custard.

80 WATT (80 P) 10 % For gentle defrosting, eg.
cream gateaux or pastry.

•To select Microwaving, rotate the COOKING MODE dial to the MICROWAVE setting.

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?

SUITABLE OVENWARE

PLASTIC UTENSILS

Heat resistant plastic utensils
which are suitable for use in the
microwave can be used to thaw,
heat and cook food. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations.

PAPER UTENSILS

Heat-resistant paper made for use in a microwave
oven is also suitable.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

KITCHEN PAPER

can be used to absorb any
moisture which occurs in short
heating methods, e.g. of bread
or products in bread crumbs.

Insert the paper between the
food and the revolving plate. The surface of the
food will stay crispy and dry. Covering greasy
food with kitchen paper will catch splashes.

GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS

Heat-resistant glass utensils are
very suitable. The cooking
process can be observed from all
sides. They must not, however,
contain any metal (e.g. lead
crystal), nor have a metallic
overlay (e.g. gold edge, cobalt
blue finish).

CERAMICS

Generally very suitable.
Ceramics must be glazed, since with unglazed
ceramics moisture can get into the ceramic.
Moisture causes the material to heat up and may
make it shatter. If you are not certain whether your
utensil is suitable for the microwave, carry out the
utensil suitability test.

PORCELAIN

Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not
have a gold or silver overlay and that it does not
contain any metal.

SUITABLE OVENWARE FOR MICROWAVE COOKING

Like radio and television waves, microwaves are
electromagnetic waves.
Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside
the microwave oven, and these vibrate the molecules
of water present in the food. The friction this causes
produces heat, which ensures that the food is
defrosted, heated or cooked through.
The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact
that the microwaves penetrate the food from every
direction. Energy is used to the full. In comparison,
the energy from a conventional hob passes from the
burner through the pan and so to the food. This
method wastes a great deal of energy.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROWAVES

Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made of
glass, china, earthenware, plastic, wood or paper.
This is why the microwaves never make these
materials hot. Dishes become hot only because the
food inside them is hot.
The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated.
Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of
metal and so they are deflected. For this reason
metal objects are not normally suitable for
microwave cookery. There are exceptions where you
can actually make use of the fact that the
microwaves cannot pass through metal. If you cover
food with aluminium foil at specific points while it is
defrosting or cooking, you can prevent those parts
from getting too warm, too hot, or overcooked.
Please check out the advice given in the guide.

R-6781J English CkBk 31/08/2004 16:15 Page 22

23

SUITABLE OVENWARE

MICROWAVE FOIL

This, or heat-resistant foil, is very suitable for
covering or wrapping. Please follow the
manufacturer's recommendations.

ROASTING BAGS

Can be used in a microwave
oven. Metal clips are not suitable
for fastening them since the
roasting bag foil might melt.

Fasten the roasting bag with
string and pierce it several times with a fork. Non
heat-resistant food wraps are not recommended for
use in a microwave oven.

THE RIGHT UTENSILS FOR COMBINED
OPERATION

For combined operation (Microwave + grill) and
grill operation, you can use any heat-resistant
accessories, e. g. porcelain, pottery, glass. It is
possible to use metal accessories only for a simple
grill operation.

METAL

Generally speaking, metal should not be used,
since microwaves do not pass through metal and
therefore cannot reach the food. There are,
however, exceptions: small strips of aluminium foil
may be used to cover certain parts of the food, so
that these do not thaw too quickly or begin to cook

(e.g. chicken wings). Small
metal skewers and aluminium
containers (e.g. of readycooked
meals) can be used. They must,

however, be small in relation to
the food, e.g. aluminium containers must be at
least

2

/

3

to

filled with food.

It is recommended that you
transfer the food into a dish
suitable for use in the
microwave. When using

aluminium containers or other
metal utensils there must be a gap of approx. 2
cms between them and the walls of the cooking
area, otherwise the walls could be damaged by
possible arcing.

NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL

overlay, or metal parts such as screws, bands or
handles.

UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST

If you are not sure whether your

utensil is suitable for use in your

microwave oven, carry out the

following test: Place the utensil

into the oven. Place a glass
container filled with 150 ml of water on or next to
the utensil. Switch on the oven at 800 W (800 P)
power for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays cool
or just warm to the touch, it is suitable. Do not use
this test on a plastic utensil. It could melt.

TIPS AND ADVICE

BEFORE YOU START...

To make it as easy as possible to use the
microwave oven we have put together a few hints
and tips for you. Only switch on the oven when the
food is already inside.

SETTING THE COOKING TIME

Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times are
generally much shorter than in a conventional
oven or hob. So you will need to consult this book
for the recommended cooking times. It is better to
set shorter rather than longer cooking times.
Always test the food after the cooking time has
elapsed. It is better then to continue cooking it for
a little longer, than to have overcooked food.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times depend
on the temperature of the food when you start. For
example, deep frozen and refridgerated food will
need longer than food that is at room temperature.
Standard storage temperaturs of food are assumed
for re-heating and cooking times (refridgerator
temperature of 5° C, Room temperature of
approximately 20° C). For defrosting food a starting
temperature of -18° C is assumed.
Cook popcorn only in special microwave safe
containers. Refer exactly to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Do not use a normal paper or glass
container.
Do not cook eggs in the unbroken shells. Pressure

builds up inside the shell and this
may result in the egg exploding.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep-
frying inside the microwave
oven. It is impossible to control
the temperature of the oil and it
may suddenly splash out of the
pan.
Do not heat sealed containers

such as jars or tins. The pressure
inside the container could cause the container to
explode. (The exception is when you are making
preserves).

COOKING TIMES

All the times given in this cookery book are
guidelines, which can be varied according to the
initial temperature, weight and condition of the
food (water or fat content etc.).

SALT, SPICES AND HERBS

Food cooked in your microwave retains its individual
flavour better than it does when conventional
preparation methods are used. For this reason you
should use salt sparingly and normally add it only after
cooking. Salt absorbs liquid and dries out the outer layer
of food. Herbs and spices can be used as normal.

TYPES OF USE

Microwave: you can defrost frozen foods in a
short time.
Combined operation: With the combination of
microwave and grill you can cook and roast at the
same time. Therefore, the advantages of these
appliances will combine sensibly and mutually. The
heat of the grill quickly seals the pores of the food
and the microwave functions for a short time. The
food keeps its moisture inside and is crispy on the
outside.
Grill: Your oven is provided with a quartz grill,
which you can also use without microwave
operation like any other conventional grill.

COOKING TEST

The cooking status of meals can be tested as with
conventional preparation:

● Food thermometer: Each food has a certain

interior temperature at the end of the heating
process. With a food thermometer you can
determine whether the food is hot or cooked
enough.

● Fork: You can check fish with a fork. If the fish

meat is no longer clear and comes easily from
the fishbones, it is. If it is over-cooked, it
becomes tough and dry.

● Wooden skewer: Cakes and bread can be

tested by inserting a wooden skewer. If the
skewer remains clean and dry after pulling it
out they are done.§

TIPS AND ADVICE

BLANCHING VEGETABLES

Before freezing vegetables, they should be
blanched. This preserves the quality and flavour
at their best. Method: wash and chop the
vegetables. Put 250g of vegetables in a dish with
275 ml water and cover. Heat for 3-5 minutes.
After blanching, immerse immediately in cold
water to prevent further cooking and then allow to
drain. Pack vegetables in an airtight container and
freeze.

PRESERVING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

Using the microwave for preserving is quick and
easy. There are preserving jars, rubber vacuum

seals and suitable seals made of
plastic available specially made
for microwaves. The
manufacturers will supply precise
instructions for use.

LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES

Microwave times are directly dependent upon the
amount of food which you would like to thaw, heat
or cook. This means that small portions cook more
quickly than larger ones. As a rule of thumb:
TWICE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST TWICE THE TIME
HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME

DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS

Both containers have the same capacity, but the

cooking time is longer for the
deeper one. You should therefore
choose as flat a container as
possible with a large surface

area. Only use deep containers
for dishes where there is a danger of overcooking,
e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc..

ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS

Food cooks more evenly in round or oval
containers than in containers with corners, since
the microwave energy concentrates in the corners
and the food in these areas could become
overcooked.

ADDITION OF WATER

Vegetables and other foods with a high water content
can be cooked in their own juice or with the addition
of a little water. This ensures that many vitamins and
minerals are preserved.

FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS

Foods such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,
baked potatoes, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks or such
like should be pricked or pierced with a fork or small
wooden skewer. This will enable the steam which
forms to dissipate without splitting the skin or shell.

FATTY FOODS

Fatty meat and layers of fat cook better than lean
portions of meat. Before cooking, cover the fatty
portions with a piece of aluminium foil or place the
food with the fat side down.

USING A FOOD THERMOMETER TO
DETERMINE COOKING TIME

Once cooked, every drink and every foodstuff has
a certain internal temperature at which the
cooking process can be switched off and the food
will be cooked. The internal temperature can be
ascertained with a food thermometer. The most
important temperatures are specified in the
temperature table.

TIPS AND ADVICE

COVERING

Covering the food retains the
moisture within it and shortens
the cooking time. Use a lid,
microwave foil or a cover. Foods

which are to be crispy, e.g.
roasts or chickens, should not be covered. As a
general rule, whatever would be covered in a
conventional oven should also be covered in a
microwave oven. Whatever would be uncovered
in a conventional oven can also be left uncovered
in a microwave oven.

IRREGULAR SHAPED

FOOD

Place the thicker, more

compacted end of the food

pointing towards the outside.
Place vegetables (such as broccoli) with the stalks
pointing outward.

STIRRING

Stirring the food is necessary,

since the microwaves begin by

heating the outer areas. The

temperature is thereby equalised

and the food heats up evenly.

ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD

Place a number of individual portions, such as
small pudding moulds, cups or potatoes in their
jackets, in a circle on the turntable. Keep the
portions at a distance from each other so that the
microwave energy can reach the food from all
sides.

TURNING

Medium-sized items, such as hamburgers and
steaks, should be turned over once during
cooking, in order to shorten the cooking process.
Large items, such as roasts and chickens, must be
turned, since the upper side receives more
microwave energy and could dry out if not turned.

STANDING TIME

Keeping to the standing time is
one of the most important rules
with microwaves. Almost all
foods, which are thawed, heated

or cooked in the microwave,
require a certain amount of time to stand, during
which temperature equalisation takes place and
the moisture in the food is evenly distributed.

R-6781J English CkBk 31/08/2004 16:15 Page 26

27

HEATING

DEROSTING

Details for this can be found in the table:
Defrosting (see page 31). Your microwave is ideal
for thawing. Thawing times are usually
considerably shorter than in traditional methods.
Here are a few tips. Take the frozen item out of its
packaging and place on a plate for thawing.

BOXES AND CONTAINERS

Boxes and containers suitable for microwaves are
particularly good for thawing and heating food, since
they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze
(down to approx. -40° C) as well as being heat­resistant (up to approx. 220° C). You can therefore
use the same container to freeze, thaw, heat and even
cook the food, without having to transfer it.

COVERING

Cover thin parts with small strips
of aluminium foil before thawing.
Thawed or warm parts should
likewise be covered with

aluminium strips during thawing.
This stops the thin parts becoming too hot while
thicker parts are still frozen.

CORRECT SETTING

It is better to choose a setting which is too low
rather than one which is too high. By so doing you
will ensure that the food thaws evenly. If the
microwave setting is too high, the surface of the
food will already have begun to cook while the
inside is still frozen.

TURNING/STIRRING

Almost all foods have to be
turned or stirred from time to
time. As early as possible,
separate parts which are stuck

together and rearrange them.

SMALL AMOUNTS...

thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones.
We recommend that you freeze portions which are
as small as possible. By so doing you will be able
to prepare whole menus quickly and easily.

FOODS REQUIRING CAREFUL HANDLING,

Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread
should only be partially thawed and then left to
thaw completely at room temperature. By so doing
you will avoid the outer areas becoming too hot
while the inside is still frozen.

STANDING TIME

This is particularly important after thawing food, as
the thawing process continues during this period.
In the thawing table you will find the standing
times for various foods. Thick, dense foods require
a longer standing time than thinner foods or food
of a porous nature. If the food has not thawed
sufficiently, you may continue thawing it in the
microwave oven or lengthen the standing time
accordingly. At the end of the standing time you
should process the food as soon as possible and
not re-freeze it.

Details for this can be found in the table: Heating
food and drink (see page 30).

● Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers

should be removed from the aluminium
container and heated on a plate or in a dish..

● Remove the lids from firmly closed containers.

● Food should be covered with microwave foil, a

plate or cover (obtainable from stores), so that
the surface does not dry out. Drinks need not be
covered.

● When boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea

or milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.

● If possible, stir large quantities from time to time, to

ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed.

● The times are for food at a room temperature of

20° C. The heating time for food stored in a
refrigerator should be increased slightly.

● After heating allow the food to stand for 1-2

minutes, so that the temperature inside the food can
be evenly distributed (standing time).

● The times given are guidelines which can be varied

according to the initial temperature, weight, water
content, fat content or the result which you wish to
achieve.

COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES

COOKING GRILLING AND BROWNING

DEFROSTING AND COOKING

● When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as

far as possible, they are of similar size. This is
particularly important when you want to cook
the vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potatoes).

● Wash the vegetables before preparing them,

clean them and only then weigh the required
quantity for the recipe and chop them up.

● Season them as you would normally, but as a

rule only add salt after cooking.

● Add about 5 tbsps of water for 500 g of

vegetables. Vegetables which are high in fibre
require a little more water. You will find
information about this in the table.

● Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a

lid. Those with a high moisture content, e.g.
onions or boiled potatoes, can be cooked in
microwave foil without adding water.

● After half the cooking time has elapsed

vegetables should be stirred or turned over.

● After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for

approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature
disperses evenly (standing time).

● The cooking times given are guidelines and

depend upon the weight, initial temperature and
condition of the type of vegetable in question.
The fresher the vegetables, the shorter the
cooking times.

● When buying food items, try to ensure that, as far

as possible, they are of similar size. This will
ensure that they are cooked properly.

● Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry

thoroughly under cold running water and pat them
dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal.

● Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.

● Even though the pieces may be of a similar size,

cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst
other things, to the kind of food, variations in the
fat and moisture content as well as the temperature
before cooking.

● Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half way

through the cooking time, so that they are cooked
evenly from all sides.

● After cooking cover roasts with aluminium foil and

allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes
(standing time). During this period the roast carries
on cooking and the liquid is evenly distributed, so
that when it is carved a minimum amount of juice
is lost.

Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and cooked at
the same time in one process in your microwave.
You will find some examples in the table. Do take
note, however, of the general advice given on
"heating" and "thawing" food.

Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on
the packaging when preparing deep- frozen
dishes. These usually contain precise cooking times
and offer advice on preparation.

SYMBOL EXPLANATION

MICROWAVE POWER

Your microwave has a power of 800 W and five
power settings. To select the required power level
consult the recipe guide.
In general we recommend the following:

800 W Leistung = 100 %

Used to cook or heat up quickly, e.g. ready
meals, hot drinks, vegetables, fish etc.

560 W Leistung = 70 %

Reduce the power to achieve longer cooking
times when compact food such as roasts, or
delicate foods such as cheese sauce. At the
lower power setting liquids do not boil over,
and meat cooks evenly, without overcooking
at the edges.

400 W Leistung = 50 %

For compact foods that require longer
cooking times by conventional methods, e.g.
beef casseroles, we recommend that you
reduce the power and increase the cooking
time. This makes the meat more tender.

240 W Leistung = 30 %

Select this power level to defrost. This ensures
that the food defrosts evenly. This level is also
ideal for simmering rice, noodles and
dumplings.

80 W Leistung = 10 %

This level is used for defrosting delicate foods
(which must not get hot) e.g. cream cakes.

ABBREVIATIONS USED

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon
Cup = cupful
kg = kilogram
g = gram

l = litre
ml = millilitre
cm = centimetre
DFC = dry fat content

A versatile attachment for browning and
grilling meat, poultry and fish.

Bottom Grill

This mode can be used to brown food
from below.

Top and Bottom Grill

Simultaneous operation of the grill from
above and from below. This combination
is particularly suitable for e.g. toasted
bread, quiches and rissoles.

REZEPTE

ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE
MICROWAVE OVEN

If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for the
microwave, you should take note of the following:
Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the
example of the recipes in this cookery book. Foods
which have a high moisture content such as meat, fish,
poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups can be
prepared in your microwave without any difficulty.
Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of
food, should have the surface moistened prior to
heating or cooking.
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which
are to be braised, should be reduced to about two
thirds of the quantity in the original recipe.
If necessary, add more liquid during cooking.
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced
considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or
oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as
part of a diet.

HOW TO USE THE RECIPES

● All the recipes in this cookery book are

calculated on the basis of 4 servings - unless
otherwise stated.

● Recommendations relating to suitable utensils

and the total cooking times are given at the
beginning of every recipe.

● As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to

be wholly consumable, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.

● When eggs are given in the recipes they are

assumed to have weight of approx. 55 g
(medium).

FOR COMBINED OPERATION

In general the same rules apply as for microwave
operation. The following additional tips should be
borne in mind:

1. The microwave power setting must match the
type of food and the cooking time. Consult the
recipes in this cookbook.

2. When preparing food in microwave-grill
combination mode remember that microwave
times are longer for large, bulky food, such as
roast pork, than for small flat food. As far as
grilling is concerned the situation is quite the
opposite. The nearer the food is to the grill, the
quicker it browns. This means that when you
cook large pieces of meat, for example, in
combination mode, the grilling time needs to be
shorter than for smaller pieces of meat.

3. Use the high rack for normal grilling to get quick
and even browning (exceptions are large, bulky
foods and puddings, which are also grilled on
the bottom rack).
