Notes on Operating and Using the Appliance

What you Should Know about Microwave Operation • Your appliance works with microwave radiation, which heats up water particles in food in a very short time. There is no heat radiation and therefore hardly any browning. • Only food should be heated up with this appliance. • The appliance is not suitable for baking in floating fat. • Only 1 - 2 portions should be heated up at the same time. Otherwise the microwave will become less efficient. • Microwaves provide their full energy levels immediately. Pre-heating is therefore not necessary. • Never operate the microwave function when the oven is empty. • The microwave oven does not replace your traditional cooker. It is used mainly for: - defrosting deep-frozen food - rapid warming / heating of food or drinks - cooking meals. Notes on Operating the Appliance • Your selection by pressing buttons is confirmed by a signal tone. If this does not occur, then you have not pressed the button properly or you have made an incorrect selection. • If a program is selected and the START button is not pressed within 2 minutes, then the setting is cancelled. The display will then show the current time again. • After a program has started, the display will show a countdown timer indicating the remaining operating time. • 3 signal tones will indicate the end of the program. “ ” will appear in the display. After that the appliance turns off automatically. • The illumination inside the microwave oven is on permanently. Close the door of the microwave oven to turn off the illumination.

Installation Instructions • Install the appliance with the back of the appliance facing the wall. • Maintain the following safety clearances: - 10 cm to the back - 5 cm to both sides

- 20 cm to the top of the microwave.

• In order to avoid interference with the operation of other appliances, do not place your appliance near other electronic appliances. Preparation 1. Use the handle to open the door. 2.

Operating the Microwave

1. Place the food to be heated in a suitable piece of tableware. 2. Open the door and place the vessel in the middle of the glass plate. Then close the door. (For safety reasons the oven only operates when the door is tightly closed.) 3. Press the MICRO button once / repeatedly to select the desired microwave power. Power Setting on the Display as Selected in %

Cooking Simmering Defrosting frozen goods Melting butter etc. 59

4. Use the dial control to select a cooking time between 10 seconds and

60 minutes. 5. Press the START button. The cooking time depends on the quantity and constituency of the contents of the oven. With a little practice you will soon learn to estimate the cooking time. NOTE: • Each time you press the START button, the operating period is extended. - Up to 5 minutes by 10 seconds. - From 5 minutes to 10 minutes by 30 seconds. - Over 10 minutes by 60 seconds. • Preparation of food in a microwave oven is very much faster than in a conventional cooker. Set the cooking time to a low level if you are not sure and continue cooking again if necessary. • Please note: A cover should be placed over the food when operating the microwave. Pause or Cancel Cooking • To pause cooking, press STOP / CANCEL button once or open the door. • To continue cooking, close the door and press the START button again. • In order to fully stop the cooking process, press the STOP / CANCEL button twice, thereby resetting all program settings.

You wish to heat food or drinks shortly at the highest power setting? Quick-start the microwave by directly pressing the START button. The cooking process will start immediately, whereby each time you press the button, cooking time will be extended by 10, 30 or 60 seconds (see “Operating the Microwave”). The power setting of the microwave is thereby 100 %.

Warming and heating are special characteristics of microwaves. Refrigerated liquids and foods can be easily warmed up to room or eating temperature without having to use a lot of pots. The heating times in the following table are for reference only, as the time depends very much on the original temperature and the texture of the food. It is therefore recommended to check once in a while whether the food is hot enough. Heating Table Edibles / Food

Hands-on Cooking Tips Follow the guidelines given in the cooking table and recipe. Monitor the cooking process if you do not yet have as much experience. You may open the door of the appliance at any time. The appliance will turn off automatically. It will only continue operation when the door is closed and the START button pressed again. Refrigerated food needs a longer cooking time than that with room temperature. The chunkier the food, the longer the cooking time. Meat cut in bigger pieces, for example, requires longer cooking than meat of the same quantity cut into strips. It is recommended cooking larger amounts of food at maximum power and having it simmer at medium power for a more evenly cooking. Lower foodstuffs cook faster than higher ones; therefore distribute the food as low as possible. Place thinner parts such as chicken legs or fish filets in the centre or leave them overlapping. Smaller amounts cook faster than bigger ones. The following rule of thumb applies: Double amount = almost double time Half amount = half time If you cannot find the exact cooking time for a dish, you may apply the following rule: Per 100 g approx. 1 minute cooking All foods that you cover on a common stove should be covered in the microwave as well. A cover will prevent the food from running dry. An upside-down plate, greaseproof paper or microwave cooking foil are all suitable as covers. Cook food that should be getting a crust without cover.

Tips for Combi Operation

When cooking food with the combined setting of microwave-grill, you should adhere to the following: The cooking time for big and thick food items, such as roast pork, is respectively longer than for small, lower food. Nevertheless, when roasting, the opposite rule applies. The closer the food is to the grill, the faster it will become brown. I.e., when preparing big joints during combi operation, the roasting time is possibly shorter than for smaller joints.

NOTE: • Microwave power when defrosting is 40 % (320 W). • Since the microwaves always penetrate the food from the outside in, larger pieces may not be fully defrosted in their centre. The outer layers may already have started to cook. • Turn foodstuff such as meat, sausages or bread once after approx. half of the defrost time has elapsed. Close the door and press the START button to continue. • Factor in a compensation time after the defrost program. This is a standing period during which a temperature compensation takes place through conduction of heat from the outside (defrosted) to the inside (frozen). You can leave the food in the switched off appliance or outside the appliance during the compensation time. The compensation time should be at least as many minutes as the defrost time in the microwave. It depends on the condition of the food. • If the weight of the food is less than 200 g, do not place it in the middle but at the edge of the glass plate. • You can shorten the compensation times by e.g. separating small pieces of meat or crumbling the remaining frozen chunks of mince after the defrosting time. For sliced bread or sausage, separate the slices during the compensation time. • Allow fruit to defrost in a bowl with a lid. After around half the defrost time, gently stir the fruit once. • Cakes or tarts with chocolate icing should not be defrosted in the microwave. There are two methods by which you may thaw frozen items: . Use the rotary knob to set the • Use the MICRO button to select desired defrost time. • To use the defrost program, proceed as follows: 1. Determine the weight of the food. 2. Remove the food from its packaging. If it cannot be removed from the packaging, defrost for 30 seconds on maximum microwave power (see “Quick start”). 3. Place the food to be defrosted onto the plate (fruit into a bowl). Also place meat onto a upturned saucer so that the meat juices can drain. This saucer should never be used for other foods or come into contact with them. 4. Repeatedly press the DEFROST button to select one of the defrost functions: Edibles Meat Poultry Fish
