■ Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into
the hot cooking compartment. This will cause steam. The
temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.
■ Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking
compartment for long periods. This will damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to
corrosion.
■ Fruit juice: When cooking very moist fruit flans, do not fill the
universal pan too generously. Fruit juice which runs out of the
universal pan leaves behind stains which cannot be removed.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the
cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not
trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only
slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged
over time.
■ Condensation in the cooking compartment: Condensation
may appear on the door window, interior walls and floor. This
is normal and does not adversely affect microwave operation.
To prevent corrosion, wipe off the condensation every time
you cook.
■ Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door
will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal
clean.
■ Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects
on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance
door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance
door.
■ Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot
support the weight of the appliance and could break.
■ Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead
to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is
food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is
a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable
crockery").
■ Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too
high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always
place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if

Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain
its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
: Risk of electric shock!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners,
which can result in an electric shock.
: Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior
surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements.
Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a
safe distance.
Notes
■ Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■ Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be

Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the
operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during cooking,
baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking
compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for
the second cake.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.

Automatic programmes
The automatic programmes enable you to prepare food very
easily. You select the programme and enter the weight of your
food. The automatic programme makes the optimum setting.
You can select from 20 programmes.
Ovenware
The automatic programmes are only intended for roasting in
ovenware with a lid. For all programmes, use deep ovenware
with lid. Place the ovenware on the wire rack at level 1.
Suitable cookware
Heat-resistant (up to 300 °C) glass or glass ceramic ovenware,
for example, is suitable.
Unsuitable cookware
Cookware made of unglazed clay and plastic cookware or
cookware with plastic handles is not suitable.
Metal cookware is not suitable.
The microwave is used for some programmes. Metal does not
allow microwaves to pass through. The food will not brown as
much and the meat will not be as well cooked.
Size of the ovenware
The meat should cover about two thirds of the ovenware base.
This will ensure that you get good meat juices.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least
3 cm. The meat may expand during the roasting process.
Making settings
When you have selected a programme, set the oven. The
temperature selector must be in the zero position.
Example in diagram: yeast cake (programme 2) with a weight
of 1 kilogramme.
1. Set the function selector to automatic programmes X.
The first programme number appears in the display.
2. Use the @ orA button to select the programme number.
3. Press the h button.
The display shows 0.50 kilogrammes as the suggested
weight.
4. Use the @ or A button to enter the weight.
5. Press the † button.
The programme starts. You can see the cooking time counting

Changing the cooking time and end time
If using automatic programmes, you cannot change the
cooking time or end time.
Defrosting and cooking with the automatic
programmes
Notes
■ Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is not
possible to enter the exact weight, you should round it up or
down.
■ Always use microwaveable ovenware, e.g. made of glass,
ceramic or the universal pan. Observe the accessories tips in
the programme table.
■ Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.
■ A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight
ranges and the accessories required can be found in the
section after the tips.
■ It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight range.
■ With many dishes, a signal sounds after a certain time. Turn
or stir the food.
Defrost
Notes
■ If possible, freeze and store food flat and in portions at -
18 °C.
■ Put the frozen food on shallow tableware, e.g. a glass or
porcelain plate.
■ Cover thin and protruding parts with small pieces of
aluminium foil. This prevents these parts from cooking
prematurely. Ensure that the aluminium foil does not touch
the walls of the cooking compartment.
■ After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further 10 to
90 minutes so that it acquires an even temperature.
■ Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry or fish.
Drain off this liquid when you turn the food. Under no
circumstances should it be used for other purposes or be
allowed to come into contact with other foods.
■ Place beef, lamb and pork on the ovenware fatty-side down
first.
■ Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it
quickly becomes stale.
■ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already
defrosted.
■ Whole poultry should be placed in the ovenware breast-side
down and poultry portions skin-side down. Cover legs and
wings with small pieces of aluminium foil.
■ For whole fish, cover the tail with aluminium foil, for fish fillets
cover the edges and for fish steaks cover the protruding
ends.
Cooking
Vegetables
Notes
■ Fresh vegetables:
Cut into equal sized pieces. Add 2 tablespoons of water for
every 100 g of vegetables.
■ Frozen vegetables:
This programme is only suitable for blanched, not pre-cooked
vegetables. It is not suitable for frozen vegetables in cream
sauce. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water per 100 g. Do not
add water to spinach or red cabbage.
■ After the programme has ended, leave the vegetables to
stand for approx. a further 5 minutes.
Potatoes
Notes
■ Boiled potatoes:
Cut into pieces of equal size. Add 2 tablespoons of water per
100 g of potatoes, and salt to taste.
■ After the programme has ended, leave the potatoes to stand
for approx. a further 5 minutes. Strain away the remaining
water beforehand.
Rice
Notes
■ Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Rice foams a lot during
cooking. Enter the uncooked weight (without liquid). Add two
to two and a half times the amount of liquid to the rice.
■ After the programme has ended, leave the cereal to stand for
approx. a further 5 to 10 minutes.
Fish

Notes
■ The values in the table always apply to food placed in the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only
preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do
so. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from
the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
■ Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after
they have been preheated.
■ The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They will
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
■ Use the accessories provided. Additional accessories may
be obtained as optional accessories from specialist retailers
or from the after-sales service.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot
accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.
■ When using the microwave solo, i.e. on its own without any
type of heating, always use the wire rack at level 1.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the
microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time,
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Insert the wire rack at level 1. Place the ovenware in the centre.
The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Notes
■ Place the frozen food in an open container on the wire rack.
■ Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty
outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of
aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking
compartment walls. You can remove the foil half way through
the defrosting time.
■ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times. When
turning, remove any liquid that has resulted from defrosting.
■ Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can
stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this
point.

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Notes
■ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The
different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
■ Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it
is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
■ Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
■ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
plates from the oven.
■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
require less seasoning.
Heating food
: Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the
container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil
over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Caution!
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm
from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could
irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Popcorn for the microwave
Notes
■ Use heat-resistant, flat glass ovenware, e.g. the lid of an
ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass tray (Pyrex)
■ Always place the ovenware on the wire rack at level 1.
■ Do not use porcelain or extremely curved plates.
■ Make the settings as described in the table. You can adjust
the timings according to product and amount.
■ So that the popcorn doesn't burn, briefly take the popcorn
bag out of the oven after 1 minute and 30 seconds and
shake it. Take care as the bag will be hot!
: Risk of scalding!
■ Open the popcorn bag carefully as hot steam may be
released.
■ Never set the microwave to full power.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.

Cakes and pastries
About the tables
Notes
■ The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
■ The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency
and amount of the mixture. This is why temperature ranges
are given in the tables. Begin with the lower temperature and,
if necessary, use a higher setting the next time, since a lower
temperature results in more even browning.
■ Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section
following the tables.
■ Always place the cake tin in the centre of the wire rack.
Baking tins
Note: It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.

Baking tips
Roasting and grilling
About the tables
The temperature and roasting time depend on the type and
amount of food being cooked. This is why temperature ranges
are given in the tables. Begin with the lower temperature and, if
necessary, use a higher setting the next time,
For more information, see the section entitled Tips for grilling
and roasting which follows the tables.
Ovenware
You may use any heatresistant ovenware which is suitable for
use in a microwave. Metal roasting dishes are not suitable for
roasting with microwaves.
The ovenware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take
the ovenware out of the oven.
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry kitchen towel after they have
been removed from the oven. The glass could crack if placed
on a cold or wet surface.
Tips for roasting
Use a deep roasting dish for roasting meat and poultry.

You want to bake according to your own
recipe.
Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Use baking tins made of silicone, glass,
plastic or ceramic materials.
The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. Cakes in these baking tins will be
less brown. When using the microwave, the cooking time will be shorter than the time
shown in the table.
How to establish whether sponge cake is
baked through.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe,
poke the cake with a cocktail stick at its highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out
clean, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses. Use less liquid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower and extend
the baking time. Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is
lower around the edge.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The cake is too dark. Select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
The cake is too dry. When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a toothpick. Then drizzle fruit
juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees
higher and reduce the baking time.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks
good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky,
streaked with water).
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature.
When baking cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first, cover with almonds or
bread crumbs and then add the topping. Please follow the recipe and follow the baking times.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish
when it is turned upside down.
After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5 to 10 minutes, then it will be easier
to turn out of the tin. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using
a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold,
wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin well and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.
You have measured the temperature of the
oven using your own meat thermometer
and found there is a discrepancy.
The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer after a specified period of
time using a test rack in the centre of the cooking compartment. Ovenware and
accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always be some discrepancy when you measure the temperature yourself.
Sparks are generated between the tin and
the wire rack.
Check that the tin is clean on the outside. Change the position of the tin in the cooking compartment. If this does not help, continue baking but without the microwave.
The baking time will then be longer.

Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It
should not be too big.
Meat:
Cover approx. two thirds of the ovenware base with liquid. Add
a little more liquid for pot roasts. Turn pieces of meat halfway
through the cooking time. When the roast is ready, turn off the
oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This
allows better distribution of the meat juices.
Poultry:
Turn the pieces of meat after
Z of the cooking time has
elapsed.
Tips for grilling
Notes
■ Always keep the oven door closed when grilling and do not
preheat.
■ As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should
be of equal thickness. Steaks should be at least 2 to 3 cm
thick. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain
succulent and juicy. Do not add salt to steaks until they have
been grilled.
■ Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you
pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will
become dry.
■ Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lighter-
coloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling lightcoloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the

Tips for roasting and grilling
Bakes, gratins, toast with toppings
Notes
■ The values in the table apply to food placed in a cold oven.
■ Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes
longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more
on top.
■ Place the bake in microwaveable ovenware on the wire rack.
■ Leave bakes and gratins to cook in the oven for a further
5 minutes after switching off.
■ Use a 4 to 5 cm deep ovenproof dish for bakes, potato
gratins and lasagne.
■ Place soufflés in individual moulds or in a deep ovenproof
dish. Preheat the cooking compartment.
■ Toast with topping: lay 4 slices next to each other in the
centre of the universal pan. Distribute 12 slices evenly over
the universal pan.
Convenience products
Notes
■ Please observe the instructions on the packaging.
■ The values in the table apply to food placed in a cold oven.
■ Do not lay chips, croquettes or potato röstis on top of each
other.
■ Turn fish fingers, chicken goujons, nuggets and veggie
burgers halfway through the cooking time.
■ Place cream gateau on the oven floor without accessories,
level 0.
The table does not contain information for the
weight of the joint.
For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For
larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
How to tell when the roast is ready. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon
test”. Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon
can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt. Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are too
clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
The roast is not well-done enough. Carve the roast. Prepare the gravy in the roasting dish and place the slices of roast
meat in the gravy. Finish cooking the meat using the microwave only.

Grilling
Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Which foods are affected?
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products
that are heated to high temperatures, such as potato crisps,
chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods (biscuits,
gingerbread, cookies).

* Preheat for 5 minutes.
** Turn halfway through the cooking time.
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
General Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not
too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking biscuits Max. 200 °C in Top/bottom heating or max. 180 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode.
Max. 190° C in Top/bottom heating or max. 170 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode. Egg
white and egg yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide.
Oven chips Distribute thinly and evenly over the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a bak-
ing tray so that the chips do not dry out.
