Causes of damage

Caution!

■ 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.
- 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 overloaded.

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.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

The microwave

Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. You will find information about ovenware and how to set the microwave.

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

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 12 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, 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.

Cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Do not use

■ sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance door,

■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
■ any coarse scouring pads or cleaning sponges,
■ cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Area Cleaning agents

Appliance front Hot soapy water:
	Clean using a dish cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. Do not use glass cleaners or metal or glass scrapers for cleaning.
Stainless steel Hot soapy water:
	Clean using a dish cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Corrosion can form under such residues. Special stainless steel cleaning agents can be obtained from the after-sales service or from specialist retailers.
Cooking compartment made of stainless steel	Hot soapy water or a vinegar solution: Clean using a dish cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. If the oven is very dirty: use oven cleaner, but only when cooking compartment is cold. It is best to use a stainless-steel sponge. Do not use oven spray or other aggressive oven cleaners or abrasive materials. Scouring pads, rough sponges and pan cleaners are also unsuitable. These scratch the surface. Allow the interior surfaces to dry thoroughly.
Door panels Glass cleaner:
	Clean with a dish cloth. Do not use a glass scraper.
Door sealDo not remove.	Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth; do not scrub. Do not use a metal or glass scraper for cleaning.

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

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.

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

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best for your dish and there are tips about cookware and preparation.

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.
■ The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They depend on the quality and consistency of the food.
■ 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 cookware 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.

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.
