CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check package weight before using the popcorn function. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave-safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.

ATTENTION
- Metal - e.g. a spoon in a glass - must be kept at least 1" (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
- Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.
- Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.
- Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
- Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
- Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation if the door seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
- Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
- Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance type, accessories can scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories fully into the oven interior.
- Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.
- Operating the microwave without food in the oven cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An exception to this rule is a short ovenware test. → "Notes regarding cookware" on page 24
- Always set the microwave power as recommended for the food. High power settings can overheat foods very quickly.
Protecting the environment
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.
Tips for saving energy
- Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
- Use dark, black lacquered or enameled baking tins for baking. They absorb the heat particularly well.
- It is best to bake more than one cake, one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces 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.

Microwave
Microwaves are converted to heat in food. The microwave can be used solo, i.e. on its own, or in combination with a different type of heating.
Note: In the section "Tables and Tips", you will find examples for defrosting, heating, and cooking with the microwave. → "Tables and tips" on page 47
Notes regarding cookware
Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic is suitable. 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 cookware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that it is suitable for use in microwaves.
Metal cookware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.

CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 in (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

ATTENTION
Cookware test: Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following cookware test is the only exception to this rule. If you are unsure whether your cookware is microwave compatible, perform this test: place the empty dish in the appliance for 12 for 1 minute at maximum power. Check the temperature during that time. The cookware should be cold or warm to the touch. The cookware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.

Tables and tips
Here, you can find a selection of dishes 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 cookware and preparation methods.
Do not use this element!
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 customer service.
- Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.

WARNING
Risk of scalding!
When pulling out the glass tray, hot liquid may overflow. Carefully pull the glass tray out of the cooking compartment.

AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de brûlure
The following tables provide you with numerous options and settings for the microwave.
The times given in the tables are guidelines; they depend on the cookware used, and 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. There is a rule of thumb for operating the microwave: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time.
You can place the cookware in the middle of the wire rack or on the cooking compartment floor. The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Place the frozen food in an open container on the oven floor.
Delicate parts such as chicken legs and wings or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminum foil. The foil may not touch the walls of the appliance. You can remove the foil halfway 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 been produced during defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for an additional 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can even out. You can remove the giblets from poultry at this point.
Note: Place the cookware on the cooking compartment floor.

WARNING
Health Risk!
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. 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.

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwavable cookware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up.
Food that lies flat will cook more quickly than food that is piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it is as flat as possible in the cookware. Food 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 container, 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 an additional 2 to 5 minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will require less seasoning.
Note: Place the cookware on the cooking compartment floor.

Heating food

WARNING
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 vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.


AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de brûlure

CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1" (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

ATTENTION
- Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwavable cookware. 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
Food that lies flat will cook more quickly than food that is piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it is as flat as possible in the cookware. Food should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Cook the food in cookware with a lid. It should be turned or stirred occasionally.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will require less seasoning.
After heating, allow the food to stand for an additional 2 to 5 minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
Note: Place the cookware on the cooking compartment floor.

CAUTION
Do not leave oven unattended while popping corn. Popcorn may ignite and cause fire.

ATTENTION
| You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of food you have prepared. | Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following rule of thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the 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. |
| The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked. | Set a longer time. Large quantities and food that is piled high require longer times. |
| Time has elapsed but 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 output setting. If you are defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times. |
Cakes and pastries
Baking tins: It is best to use dark-colored metal baking tins.
When using the microwave, use baking containers made of glass, ceramic or plastic. These must be heat-resistant up to 480^ F ( 250^ C). Cakes will not brown so well if you use these types of baking containers.
Tables: 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 lowest temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. A lower temperature results in more even browning.
More information can be found in the "Baking tips" section that follows the tables.
Always place the cake pan in the center of the wire rack.

| How to tell 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 toothpick at its highest point. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. |
| The cake collapses. | Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower. 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 pan. 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. | Make tiny holes in the finished 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, with streaks of 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. | Let the cake cool for 5 to 10 minutes after baking; then it will be easier to turn out of the pan. If it still does not turn out, carefully loosen it around the edges with a knife. Turn the cake pan upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the pan 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 center of the cooking compartment. Cookware and accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always be some discrepancy when you measure the temperature yourself. |
| Sparks are generated between the pan and the wire rack. | Check that the pan is clean on the outside. Change the position of the pan in the cooking compartment. If this does not help, continue baking without microwave or use the glass tray as a surface. The baking time will then be longer. |
Roasting and grilling
Tables: The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
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 lowest temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time.
For more information, see the section entitled "Tips for grilling and roasting" that follows the tables.
Cookware: You may use any heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for use in a microwave. Metal roasting dishes are only suitable for roasting without microwaves.
The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take the cookware out of the oven.
Place hot glass cookware on a dry kitchen towel after it has 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.
Check that your cookware fits in the cooking compartment. It should not be too big.
Meat: Cover the bottom of the cookware with liquid. Add slightly 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.
Grilling tip: 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 1 inch (25 mm) thick. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Only add salt to steaks once 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, such as beef, browns more quickly than lighter-colored meat, such as veal or pork. When grilling light-colored meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.
The grill element switches off and on again automatically. This is normal. The grill setting determines how frequently this occurs.
Steaming tips: Use cookware with a lid for braising fish.
Put two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the cookware.

Tips for roasting and grilling
| The table does not contain information for the weight of the roast. | For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time. |
| This is how you can 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. |
Casseroles, gratins
The table applies to dishes placed in a cold oven.
Place the casserole in microwaveable cookware on the cooking compartment floor.
Use large shallow cookware for casseroles and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more on top.
Casseroles and gratins should be left to cook in the oven for an additional 5 minutes after the oven has been switched off.

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 chips, french fries, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods (cookies, gingerbread, Spekulatius).
| 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 | With Convection max. 355°F (180°C). |
| Cookies | Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide. Spread out a single layer evenly on the glass tray. |
| Oven fries | Cook at least 14.1 oz (400 g) at once on a glass tray so that the fries do not dry out. |
