About microwaves

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves that have a warming effect on the food in the internal cooking area. Microwaves heat all non-metallic objects. Therefore, do not use any metallic objects in microwave mode. This heating effect works better the higher the water content of the foodstuff.

To ensure optimal distribution of heat, let heated dishes stand for a minute or two in the microwave oven after cooking.

The effect of microwaves on foodstuffs

• Microwaves penetrate foodstuffs to a depth of around 3 cm.
• They heat up water, fat and sugar molecules (foodstuffs with a high water content are heated the most intensively).
• This heat then works its way – slowly – throughout the food and has a defrosting, heating and cooking effect on the food.
• The cooking area and the air in the oven are not heated (the food container is mainly heated by the hot food).
• Each foodstuff requires a certain amount of energy to cook or defrost. As a rule of thumb we can say: High output – short time or low output – long time.

Microwave oven

• A microwave generator, known as the magnetron, generates the microwaves and directs them into the cooking area.
• The inner walls and the viewing window grid reflect the microwaves inwards so that they cannot escape from the cooking area.
• The microwave output and the cooking time can be set in several steps.
• After the cooking time has elapsed, or when the door is opened, the magnetron turns off automatically.

Cooking and heating up in the microwave oven

• Arrange the food in the oven correctly and place the thickest pieces on the outside so that it cooks properly.
• Note the exact cooking or heating times.
• Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if necessary.

WARNING!

Risk of fi re due to very high temperatures!

Overcooked food can start to smoke or even catch fire.

- Supervise the cooking process at all times.

• Cover food during cooking or heating with a cover that is suitable for the microwave oven. Covering the food helps avoid splashes; furthermore, the food is more evenly cooked.
• Foods such as chicken pieces or hamburgers should be turned once when cooking in the microwave oven in order to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such as joints or roasting chickens must be turned at least once.
• It is also important to reposition food, e.g. if cooking meatballs: After half of the cooking time has expired, the food should be repositioned from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside.
• After heating, mix the food thoroughly if possible to ensure even temperatures, otherwise let the food stand for a short time.

Microwave-suitable materials

You can buy special dishes and accessories for your microwave oven. Look for markings such as “Microwave-safe” or “For the microwave”. You can also use your existing dishes – if the material is suitable.

Suitable materials

• Porcelain, glass ceramic and heatproof glass
• Plastics which are heatproof and microwave-suitable (note: plastics may become discoloured by foods or become warped by the heat)
• Baking paper.

Overview of suitable materials

The following list is a general guide to help you choose the correct cooking dishes:

Cooking dishes Microwave
Heatproof glass Yes
Non-heatproof glass No
Heatproof ceramic Yes
Microwave-suitable plastic dishes Yes
Baking paper Yes
Metal No
Aluminium foil/containers Limited suitability

Materials that are partially suitable

• Stoneware and ceramics. Use clay containers only for defrosting and for short cooking times because the air and water content of the material could cause the clay to crack or break.
• Dishes with gold or silver trim should only be used if they have been labelled “microwave-safe” by the manufacturer.
• Never use aluminium foil in large quantities. It can however be used e.g. in small pieces to cover sensitive parts. You can also cover the corners of containers to prevent overcooking as the microwave energy is primarily concentrated on the corners. Maintain a distance of 2.5 cm between the foil and the internal wall.
• Aluminium containers (e.g. those for ready-to-serve meals) are partially suitable, but they must be at least 3 cm high to be used in the microwave oven.

Unsuitable materials

• Metals, metal pots, pans and lids.

NOTICE!

Possible material damage!

Risk of damage to the appliance due to improper use of the appliance.

• Never use dishes with metal trimmings, metal dishes or cooking grates in microwave mode as this may cause sparks that could damage the appliance and/or the dishes.
• Do not use crystal or lead crystal in microwave mode. It can shatter, and coloured glass may become discoloured.
• Do not use materials which are not heatproof. They may warp or may even catch fi re.

In order to test whether a dish is suitable for use in the microwave oven, put some water in it and place it in the microwave oven.

Press the 30sec. 14 button twice. The appliance will now operate in microwave mode at maximum power for 1 minute. If you ascertain that the container is hotter than the food, then it is not suitable for the microwave oven. Microwave-suitable dishes are only warmed by the heat of the food.

WARNING!

Risk of fi re!

There is a risk of fire due to improper use of the appliance.

• As soon as you notice sparks, fl ashes or even fi re, immediately press the 16 button and pull out the mains plug.
• Remove the food and check the cooking dishes for metal parts. It is possible that it is not suitable for use in a microwave.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING!

Risk of electric shock!

There is a risk of electric shock due to live parts.

- Switch the microwave oven off and disconnect the plug from the mains socket before cleaning.

Failure to clean the appliance properly can damage the surfaces which can in turn reduce the service life of the appliance and may lead to dangerous situations.

Therefore, clean the microwave regularly and remove all food residues.

• Switch the microwave oven off and disconnect the plug from the earthed mains socket before cleaning.

• Keep the interior of the microwave clean. Wipe away splashes or spilled liquids that stick to the inner walls of the cooking area 8 with a damp cloth. A mild cleaning solution can be used for serious dirt. Do not use cleaning sprays or other caustic detergents as these could corrode, scratch or dull the door surface.

• The external surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. In order to prevent damage to the microwave's internal operating parts, avoid allowing water to penetrate into the ventilation openings.

• Clean the door, the viewing window as well as the closing mechanism carefully with a mild soap solution. Take great care not to damage these parts.
• Water may condense on the external surfaces if used in high humidity. If water condenses on the internal or external surfaces, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
• The glass rotary plate 5 must be removed occasionally for cleaning. Wash the glass rotary plate in warm water with a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher. Then dry the glass rotary plate thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Wipe the drive shaft 7 and the roller ring 6 with a damp cloth.
• Wipe out the cooking area with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution.
• Lingering odours in the microwave can be removed by placing a glass of water with the juice and rind of a lemon into a deep container that is suitable for microwave use and heating for 5 minutes. Wipe out thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• If you have to replace the light in the microwave, please contact a qualified specialist workshop or the Service Centre.

End of operation

Once the cooking process has ended, open the door and remove the cooked food. The appliance switches to standby mode once the cooking process has finished.
