7. Before you start
Remove the microwave from the packaging. Remove all packaging material and check that all parts are
complete and undamaged. If you find anything missing or damaged, please contact the manufacturer.
7.1. How the microwave works
The microwave generates electromagnetic waves which create strong vibrations in the water molecules
contained in the food. These vibrations create heat. The heat is generated directly in the food and the
process is very gentle. The cookware is only heated indirectly by the food. Food with a high moisture
content heats quicker than dryer food.
Tips for getting good results from your food:
Use appropriate utensils and do not place food directly on the glass plate (2).
Cookware must not extend beyond the edge of the glass plate (2).
If possible, arrange the food so the thickest parts are at the edge.
In order to prevent the food drying out, select the shortest cooking time given to start with. You can
extend the time if required. If you select the time setting too high, food can overcook, begin to smoke
or even catch fire.
Special covers to cover food in the microwave are available from retail outlets. These prevent the
cooking space being contaminated by food splatters.
To achieve even cooking results, it makes sense to turn large pieces of food (e.g. joints) at least once.
The same applies to foods which can only be eaten if cooked through properly, such as poultry or
mince.
7.2. Suitable cookware
Microwave mode
Cookware made of heat-resistant glass or porcelain
Cookware made of heat-resistant plastic. Use oven bags with holes to prevent the build-up of
pressure.
Special plastic cookware for microwaves is available from retail outlets.
Cookware must not contain metal.
Grill mode
All heat-resistant cookware and containers suitable for a conventional oven. Plastic cookware must not
be used in grill mode.
The food to be grilled can be placed directly on the grill stands (13) which are placed on the glass
plate (2).
Combination microwave and grill mode
In combination mode, the microwave and grill are switched on alternately. The cookware must be
suitable for microwave use and also heat resistant. Plastic cookware is not suitable. Cookware must
not contain metal.

Please note that an automatic programme calculates the programme time and power level for
fresh foods. Frozen foods must be defrosted before use or they will not cook in the pre-set
time.
9.4. Starting an automatic programme
Do not put the food directly onto the glass plate (2), always put it in a suitable container or on
a plate. Containers or plates should be sufficiently large or have a sufficiently high rim to
catch any liquid coming out of the food.
Twist the rotary knob (9) to the left to get to the automatic programme selection menu. The number
(A-01 to A-10) flashes on the display (1) to show the automatic programme currently selected. The
associated programme symbol also flashes next to the number.
While setting an automatic programme, the display (1) also shows the symbol and the symbol for the
heating mode used ( and/or ).
Use the rotary knob (9) to select the automatic programme you want. You can twist left or right to
select the programme. Confirm your selection by pressing the Start/Quick Start button (9).
Now use the rotary knob (9) to select the approximate weight of your food. Confirm your selection by
pressing the Start/Quick Start button (9).
Please note that different weights/quantities are assigned to the different automatic programmes.
The automatic programme selected starts. The symbols for the automatic programme selected, the
symbol and the symbol for the heating mode used all flash on the display (1). For the automatic
programme A-07, either the symbol or the symbol flashes depending on the progress of the
programme. While the programme is running the symbols indicate the heating mode currently used.
The remaining time is also shown counting down.
The end of the cooking process is indicated by a flashing “End” on the display (1) and the appliance
beeps 5 times. If the microwave door is not opened, the 5 beeps are repeated every 2 minutes.
“End” flashes on the display (1) until the door is open.
For automatic programmes A-04 (chicken), A-07 (meat/joints) and A-08 (meat kebabs), the
food should be turned after around 2/3 of the cooking time in order to achieve even results.
The microwave beeps twice to indicate the point at which the food should be turned. The
display (1) also shows “turn”.
Open the door. The time on the display (1) stops.
Turn the food. Please note that the food can already be hot and use oven gloves or pot
holders if necessary.
Close the door and press the Start/Quick Start button button (9) to continue the
programme. The remaining time continues to count down on the display (1).

If you do not think the food needs turning, do nothing and simply allow the programme to
continue.
The size, shape and specific types of food have a decisive influence on cooking results. If your
food is not yet cooked through when the automatic programme is finished, we recommend
continuing to cook using the microwave quick start programme. If the automatic programme
also uses the grill function, the grill function can also be used for additional cooking. Please
note that the level of browning of the dishes will also increase.

9.5.1. Pasta programme
Heating mode used
Programme time (volume-dependent)
Microwave
25:00 to 35:00 minutes
For programming, please use the net pasta weight without water.
You should add enough water so that all the pasta is largely covered. The water quantity can
vary depending on the type of pasta and the cooking vessel. For orientation, we recommend
adding 4 portions of water to 1 portion of pasta.
Use a tall container to prevent boiling over.
Add the desired quantity of pasta.
Add as much water as you would normally use for boiling. The pasta should always be covered with
water.
Start the “Pasta” programme.
Once the programme has finished, leave the pasta to rest for 2-3 minutes before draining it.
9.5.2. Fish programme

9.5.3. Rice programme
Heating mode used
Programme time (volume-dependent)
Use a tall container to prevent boiling over.
Add water to the container. As a rule of thumb, use twice as many millilitres of water as grams of rice.
So use 400 millilitres of water for 200 grams of rice. In this case, when programming select 200
grams, as it is only the weight of the rice that counts.
Allow the rice to expand for around 3 to 5 minutes.
Cover the container with a suitable lid, but do not make an air-tight seal.
Start the “Rice” programme.
Microwave
15:00 to 51:00 minutes
9.5.4. Chicken programme
Heating mode used
Programme time (volume-dependent)
Place the chicken on a microwave-safe plate.
Season the chicken to taste.
Start the “Chicken” programme.
To prevent the chicken drying out, it must always be turned. This also allows the grill to brown the
underside of the meat better. After around 2/3 of the programme time, the microwave pauses the
automatic programme and beeps twice. The display (1) also shows “turn”.
Turn the chicken and then press the Start/Quick Start button (9) to continue the “Chicken”
programme.
