Safety en
Using the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose is dangerous. This is be­cause, for instance, overheated slippers, pil­lows filled with grain or cereal, sponges and damp cleaning cloths, etc., may cause burns to the skin. Never dry food or clothing with the appli-
ance.
Never heat up slippers, pillows filled with
grain or cereal, sponges, damp cleaning cloths or similar with the appliance.
The appliance must only be used to pre-
pare food and drink.
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Ex­ercise caution even when only gently shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil over and splatter. Always place a spoon in the container
when heating liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
WARNING‒Risk of injury!
Unsuitable cookware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic cookware can have small perfora­tions in the handles and lid. These perfora­tions conceal a cavity below. If moisture pen­etrates this cavity, it could cause the cook­ware to crack. Only use microwave-safe cookware.
Cookware and containers made from metal or cookware with metal edging may lead to sparks being formed during simple mi­crowave operation. The appliance is dam­aged. Never use metal containers during mi-
crowave-only operation.

2  Preventing material damage

2.1 General

ATTENTION!
Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment and cause permanent damage to the ap­pliance. The appliance door may spring open due to an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative pressure, the cooking compartment may become con­siderably deformed inwards.
Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g.
for marinating or pouring over food). When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in­side it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot. The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion.
Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over time.
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
door.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation. Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.
Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-
ance door. With certain models, accessories may scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door.
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
partment.

2.2 Microwave

Follow these instructions when using the microwave.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door. Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.
Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.
Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading.
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in immediate succession at a microwave power level that is too high, the cooking compartment may be dam­aged.
Leave the appliance to cool down for several
minutes between each use.
Never set a microwave power level that is too high.Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
Using unsuitable cookware may result in damage.
When using the grill or the microwave combined op-
eration, only use cookware that can withstand high
temperatures.

11.1 Tips on configuring the settings for dishes

Follow these tips to achieve optimal cooking results.
¡ Only use food that is in perfect condition. ¡ Use frozen food straight from the freezer. ¡ Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If
you cannot set the exact weight on the appliance, round the weight up or down.
¡ Only use microwave-safe, heat-resistant cookware,
e.g. made of glass or ceramic.
¡ Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.
Defrost
¡ Freeze and store food flat and in portion-sized
quantities at -18°C.
¡ Place the frozen food on flat cookware, such as a
glass or porcelain plate.
¡ Food may not be completely defrosted by the end
of the programme. The food can nonetheless be fur­ther processed.
¡ Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry.
When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
¡ After turning, remove any minced meat that has
already defrosted.
¡ Whole poultry should be placed on the cookware
breast-side down and poultry portions skin-side down.
Vegetables
¡ Fresh vegetables: Cut into pieces of an equal size.
Add one tablespoon of water per 100g.
¡ Frozen vegetables: Only suitable for blanched, not
pre-cooked vegetables. It is not suitable for frozen vegetables in cream sauce. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water. Do not add any water for spinach or red cabbage.
Potatoes
¡ Boiled potatoes: Cut into pieces of an equal size.
Add two tablespoons of water and some salt per 100g.
¡ Unpeeled boiled potatoes: Use potatoes of the
same thickness. Wash them and prick the skin. Place the wet potatoes in a dish. Do not add water.
¡ Baked potatoes: Use potatoes of the same thick-
ness. Wash, dry and prick the skin.
Rice
¡ Do not use brown rice or boil-in-the-bag rice. ¡ Add two to two-and-a-half times the amount of water
to the rice.
Poultry

1.
Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary cookware from the cooking compartment.
2.
Select the desired food from the recommended set­tings.
3.
Place the food in suitable cookware.
4.
Place the cookware in the middle on the cooking compartment floor. The food can then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
5.
Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings. Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, in­crease the cooking time.
6.
Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot cookware out of the cooking compartment.

18.2 Defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave

Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave. The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as on the temperature, composition and quantity of the food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher set­ting the next time. It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost double the time, half the amount = half the time.

Defrosting with the microwave

Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Freeze the food flat. ¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
19
Page 20
en How it works
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment. ¡ Turn or stir the food 2–3times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting. ¡ Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
¡ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted. ¡ Separate any defrosted parts when turning. ¡ After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes.

Tips on defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave next time

Follow these tips for good results when defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave.
Issue Tip
Your food is too dry.
¡ Reduce the cooking
time or select a lower microwave power set­ting.
¡ Cover the food and
add more liquid.
The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked.
Increase the cooking time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer times.

18.3 Heating

With your appliance you can heat food.

Heating food in the microwave

Observe the recommended settings for using the mi­crowave to heat food.
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil over and splatter.
Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
Issue Tip
The time has elapsed but your food is not yet done on the inside, but is already overdone on the outside.
¡ Stir while cooking. ¡ Reduce the microwave
power setting and in­crease the cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defros­ted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.
¡ Reduce the microwave
power setting.
¡ Turn large pieces of
frozen food several times.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Note:
Cooking tips ¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can
also use a plate or microwave film to cover the dish. Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking
compartment.
¡ Turn or stir the food two or three times during the
defrosting time.
¡ After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 2–
5ºminutes.

18.5 Grilling

Grill food if you want it to be crispy.

Grilling

Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Do not grill food with the appliance door open. ¡ Do not preheat. ¡ Use food to be grilled that is of a similar weight and thickness.
This allows the food to be grilled to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.
¡ Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. ¡ Use grill tongs to turn the grilled items.
If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.
¡ Do not add salt until after the food has been grilled.
Salt draws water from the meat.
¡ Dark meat, such as beef, browns more quickly than lighter-coloured meat, such as veal or pork. When grilling
light-coloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.
¡ The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The grill setting that you use determines how
frequently this occurs.
¡ Smoke may be produced when grilling.

18.6 Combining the grill and microwave

To reduce the cooking time, you can use the grill in combination with the microwave.

Combining the grill and microwave

Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Place the cookware onto the wire rack. ¡ Defrost frozen food beforehand. ¡ For roasting, use a deep dish. If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking
compartment cleaner.
¡ Arrange chicken, chicken portions and duck breast skin side up. ¡ For bakes and gratins, use large, flat cookware.
Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep cookware and browns more on top.
¡ Leave bakes and gratins to stand for 5minutes in the appliance after it has been switched off. ¡ Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment. The cookware should not be too big. ¡ Leave the meat to sit for 5-10minutes before carving.
This allows the meat juices to be distributed evenly so that they do not run out when the meat is carved.
¡ Always set the maximum cooking time.
Check the food after the shorter time specified.
