Note: In the Tested for you in our cooking studio section, you will find examples for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave.

Notes regarding ovenware

Suitable ovenware

Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic. These materials allow microwaves to pass through.

You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.

Unsuitable ovenware

Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.

Caution!

Creation of sparks: 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 destroy the glass on the inside of the door.

Ovenware test

Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for 1/2 to 1 minute.

2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time.

The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.

The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.

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.!

Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Risk of burns!

Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let the appliance cool down.

Risk of injury!

Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, or sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

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 completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
■ Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave power.

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.
- For the programmes, always use microwave-proof cookware such as glass, ceramic, or the glass pan. Observe the accessories tips in the programme table.
■ Place the food in the cold appliance.
■ A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight ranges and the accessories required can be found in the section after the notes.
■ 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.

Defrosting

Notes

As far as possible, freeze and store food flat and in portion-sized quantities at -18 °C.
■ Place the frozen food on a flat dish, e.g. a glass or porcelain plate.
■ After defrosting in the appliance, leave the food to continue defrosting for a further 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature.
- Liquid will be produced when meat, poultry or fish is defrosted. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
■ Place beef, lamb and pork on the cookware 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 cookware breast-side down and poultry portions skin-side down.

Potatoes

Notes

■ Boiled potatoes: cut into equal sized pieces. Add a little salt and 2 tablespoons of water for every 100 g of potatoes.
- Potatoes boiled in their skins: use potatoes of equal size. Wash the potatoes and prick the skin several times. Place the wet potatoes in a dish. Do not add water.

Rice

Notes

• Rice foams a lot during cooking. Therefore, use a high-sided dish with a lid. Enter the uncooked weight (without liquid). Add two to two and a half times the amount of liquid to the rice.
  ■ Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice.

Vegetables

Notes

■ Fresh vegetables: cut into pieces of equal size. Add 2 tablespoons of water for every 100 g 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.

Baked potatoes

Note: Use potatoes of equal size. Wash the potatoes and prick the skin several times. Place the potatoes on the wire rack while they are still damp.

Chicken halves

Note: Place the chicken halves on the wire rack with the skin side facing up. Place the wire rack in the glass pan so that it catches the dripping fat or meat juices.

Resting times

Some dishes need to rest in the oven after the programme has ended.

Dish Resting time

Vegetables approx. 5 minutes

Potatoes approx. 5 minutes. First pour off the remaining water.

Rice 5 to 10 minutes

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and which temperature or microwave power setting is best for your meal. You can find information about suitable accessories and the height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about ovenware and preparation methods.

Notes

• The values in the table always apply to food placed into 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 supplied. Additional accessories may be obtained from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.
  ■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

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.

Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time. Check the temperature.

Defrosting

Notes

• Place the frozen food in an open container on the cooking compartment floor.
  ■ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be turned several times.

- Liquid will be produced when meat, poultry or fish is defrosted. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry

and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.

- Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 10 to 30 minutes so that the temperature can even out. 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.

Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

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.

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.
■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.

Cooking food

Notes

• 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.
• Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.

■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will require less seasoning.
■ After cooking, 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.

Microwave tips

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 timeHalf 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.
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.

Tips for grilling

Notes

■ All the values given are guidelines and can vary depending on the properties of your food.
- Rinse meat in cold water and dab it dry with kitchen towel. Do not add salt to the meat until it has been grilled.
■ Always grill on the wire rack with the cooking compartment door closed and do not preheat.

• Place the wire rack on the glass pan so that this catches the meat juices.
• 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 light-coloured meat or fish fillets, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.

	Quantity	Weight	Grill setting	Cooking time in minutes
Neck steaks approx. 2 cm thick	3 to 4 pieces	approx. 1,200 g each	high	1st side: approx. 152nd side: approx. 10-15
Grilled sausages	4 to 6 pieces	approx. 150 g each	high	1st side: approx. 10-152nd side: approx. 10-15

Bread (pre-toasting)	2 to 6 slices	-	high	1st side: approx. 42nd side: approx. 4
Toast with topping	2 to 6 slices	-	high	Depending on topping: 5-10

* Grease the wire rack first with oil.

Combined grill and microwave

Notes

■ Use the wire rack to place the cookware on.
- Use a high-sided dish for roasting. This keeps the cooking compartment cleaner.
- Use large shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more on top.
- Check that your cookware fits in the cooking compartment. It should not be too big.

■ Leave the meat to rest for another 5-10 minutes before carving it. This allows the meat juices to be distributed evenly so that they do not run out when the meat is carved.
■ Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the appliance for a further 5 minutes after the appliance has been switched off.
■ Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the food after the shorter time specified.
