Preventing material damage

2  Preventing material damage

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).
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.

If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam­age the front of adjacent kitchen units.

▶ Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶ Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged

or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.

▶ Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-

ance door.

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.

8.2 Tips on configuring the settings for dishes

Follow these tips to achieve optimal cooking results:

¡ Only use food that is in perfect condition.
¡ 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.

Defrosting

¡ 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.

¡ To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the de-

frosted food to rest for another 10 to 30minutes in
the appliance after switching it off.

¡ Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry.

When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not reuse the
liquid 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 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.

Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes
as well as the best accessories and cookware. We
have tailored these recommendations to your appli­ance.

17.1 What is the best way to proceed?

In this section, you will find out the best way to proceed
using step-by-step instructions to make optimal use of
the recommended settings. You will get information on
many meals, with details and tips on how to best use
and set your appliance.

Tip

Cooking tips
¡ The recommended settings always apply to the

cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.

¡ The times specified in the overviews are intended as

a guide only. They will depend on the quality and
composition of the food.

WARNING‒Risk of burns!

Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during
heating, or even afterwards.

▶ Never cook eggs in their shell or heat hard-boiled

eggs in their shell.

▶ Never cook shellfish or crustaceans.
▶ Always prick the yolk of eggs before microwaving.
▶ The skin of foods that have a peel or skin, such as

apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may
burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.

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.

17.2 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 temperature ranges are given in the
tables. Begin with the lower temperature and, if neces­sary, use a higher setting the next time. If you use dif­ferent quantities than those specified in the table, ad­here to the rule of thumb: 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.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2 to 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.
¡ To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30minutes in the appli-

ance after switching it off.

Heating up or cooking frozen food with the microwave

Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat food.

Note:

Cooking tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or a microwave cover to cover the dish. Take

ready meals out of the packaging.

¡ Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ Turn or stir the food several times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2 to 5ºminutes.

19

en How it works

¡ The food will retain most of its natural flavor. Use salt and seasonings sparingly.
¡ To achieve best results, we recommend that you reheat food or ready meals at 600 watts. If the packaging spe-

cifies a higher microwave output setting, extend the time.

How it works en

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.

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 a microwave cover 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 several times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2 to

5ºminutes.

¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-

ware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.

¡ To achieve best results, we recommend that you re-

heat food or ready meals at 600 watts. If the pack­aging specifies a higher microwave output setting,
