CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS,

ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS - Keep

the oven clean, or the oven could lead to a

deterioration of the surface. This could

adversely affect the life of the appliance and

possibly result in a hazardous situation.

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with

mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off

with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven

controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the

oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water

only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean.

Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use

any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft

damp cloth or sponge after each use while the

oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild

soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth

until all residues are removed. Do not remove the

2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not

penetrate the small vents in the walls which may

cause damage to the oven.

3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

Turntable and Roller stay

Remove the turntable and roller stay from the oven.

Wash the turntable and roller stay in mild soapy

water. Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and the

roller stay are dishwasher safe.

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides

of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a

soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaner.

NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.

a metal alloy base, which allows food to be browned.

When using the browning dish a suitable insulator,

e.g. a porcelain plate, must be placed between the

turntable and the browning dish. Be careful to adhere

exactly to the pre-heating time given in the

manufacturer’s instructions. Excessive pre-heating can

damage the turntable and the turntable stand or can

trigger the safety-device which will switch off the oven.

METAL Generally speaking, metal should not be used, since

microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore

cannot reach the food. There are, however,

exceptions: small strips of aluminium foil may be used

to cover certain parts of the food, so that these do not

thaw too quickly or begin to cook (e.g. chicken

wings).Small metal skewers and aluminium containers

(e.g. of ready- cooked meals) can be used. They

must, however, be small in relation to the food, e.g.

aluminium containers must be at least

with food. It is recommended that you transfer the

food into a dish suitable for use in the microwave.

When using aluminium containers or other metal

utensils there must be a gap of approx. 2 cms

between them and the walls of the cooking area,

otherwise the walls could be damaged by possible

NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL OVERLAY -

parts such as screws, bands or handles.

UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST If you are not sure whether your utensil

is suitable for use in your microwave

oven, carry out the following test: Place

the utensil into the oven. Place a glass

container filled with 150 ml of water

on or next to the utensil. Switch on the oven at 800

W power for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays cool

or just warm to the touch, it is suitable. Do not use

this test on a plastic utensil. It could melt.

Microwaves are generated in the microwave oven

by a magnetron and cause the water molecules in

the food to oscillate.

GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS Heat-resistant glass utensils are very

suitable. The cooking process can be

observed from all sides. They must not,

however, contain any metal (e.g. lead

crystal), nor have a metallic overlay (e.g. gold edge,

cobalt blue finish).

CERAMICS Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed,

since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into

the ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat up

and may make it shatter. If you are not certain

whether your utensil is suitable for the microwave,

carry out the utensil suitability test.

PORCELAIN Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not

have a gold or silver overlay and that it does not

ROASTING BAGS Can be used in a microwave oven. Metal clips are

not suitable for fastening them since the roasting bag

TIME SETTINGS In general the thawing, heating and cooking times

are significantly shorter than when using a

conventional cooker or oven. For this reason you

should adhere to the recommended times given in

this cookery book. It is better to set the times too

short, rather than too long. Test the food after it

has been cooked. It is better to have to cook

something for a little longer than to overcook it.

INITIAL TEMPERATURES Thawing, heating and cooking times are

dependent upon the initial temperature of the food.

Deep-frozen food and food stored in a

refrigerator, for example, requires longer than

food which has been stored at room temperature.

For heating and cooking, normal storage

temperatures are assumed (refrigerator

temperature approx. 5° C, room temperature

approx. 20° C). For thawing the temperature of

the deep freeze is assumed to be - 18° C.

COOKING TIMES All the times given in this cookery book are

guidelines, which can be varied according to the

initial temperature, weight and condition of the

food (water or fat content etc.).

SALT, SPICES AND HERBS Food cooked in your microwave retains its

individual flavour better than it does when

conventional preparation methods are used. For

this reason you should use salt very sparingly and

normally add it only after cooking. Salt absorbs

liquid and dries out the outer layer of the food.

Herbs and spices can be used as normal.

ADDITION OF WATER Vegetables and other foods with a high water

content can be cooked in their own juice or with

the addition of a little water. This ensures that

many vitamins and minerals are preserved.

FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS Food such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,

baked potatoes, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks or

such like should be pricked or pierced with a fork

or small wooden skewer. This will enable the

steam which forms to dissipate without splitting the

LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES Microwave times are directly dependent upon the

amount of food which you would like to thaw, heat

or cook. This means that small portions cook more

quickly than larger ones.

TWICE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST TWICE THE TIME HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS Both containers have the same capacity, but the

cooking time is longer for the deeper one. You

should therefore choose as flat a container as

possible with a large surface area. Only use deep

containers for dishes where there is a danger of

overcooking, e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc..

ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS Food cooks more evenly in round or oval

containers than in containers with corners, since

the microwave energy concentrates in the corners

and the food in these areas could become

COVERING Covering the food retains the moisture within it and

shortens the cooking time. Use a lid, microwave

foil or a cover. Foods which are to be crispy, e.g.

roasts or chickens, should not be covered.

As a general rule, whatever would be covered in a

conventional oven should also be covered in a

microwave oven. Whatever would be uncovered

in an ordinary oven can also be left uncovered in

TURNING Medium-sized items, such as hamburgers and

steaks, should be turned over once during

cooking, in order to shorten the cooking process.

Large items, such as roasts and chickens, must be

turned, since the upper side receives more

microwave energy and could dry out if not turned.

STANDING TIME Keeping to the standing time is one of the most

important rules with microwaves. Almost all foods,

which are thawed, heated or cooked in the

microwave, require a certain amount of time to

stand, during which temperature equalisation takes

place and the moisture in the food is evenly

BROWNING AGENTS After more than 15 minutes cooking time food

acquires a brownness, although this is not

comparable to the deep brownness and crispness

obtained through conventional cooking. In order

to obtain an appetising brown colour you can use

browning agents. For the most part they

simultaneously act as seasoning agents.

In the following table you will find some

suggestions for substances you might use for

browning and some of the uses to which you might

BROWNING AGENT DISH METHOD HEATING

● Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers

should be removed from the aluminium container

and heated on a plate or in a dish.

● Remove the lids from firmly closed containers.

● Food should be covered with microwave foil, a plate

or cover (obtainable from stores), so that the surface

does not dry out. Drinks need not be covered.

● When boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea or

milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.

● If possible, stir large quantities from time to time, to

ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed.

● The times are for food at a room temperature of

20° C. The heating time for food stored in a

refrigerator should be increased slightly.

● After heating allow the food to stand for 1-2

minutes, so that the temperature inside the food can

be evenly distributed (standing time).

● The times given are guidelines, which can be

varied according to the initial temperature, weight,

water content, fat content or the result which you

THAWING Your microwave is ideal for thawing. Thawing times

are usually considerably shorter than in traditional

Here are a few tips. Take the frozen item out of its

packaging and place on a plate for thawing.

BOXES AND CONTAINERS Boxes and containers suitable for microwaves are

particularly good for thawing and heating food, since

they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze

(down to approx. –40° C) as well as being heat-

resistant (up to approx. 220° C). You can therefore

use the same container to thaw, heat and even cook

the food, without having to transfer it.

COVERING Cover thin parts with small strips of aluminium foil

before thawing. Thawed or warm parts should

likewise be covered with aluminium strips during

thawing. This stops the thin parts becoming too hot

while thicker parts are still frozen.

CORRECT SETTING It is better to choose a setting which is too low rather

than one which is too high. By so doing you will

ensure that the food thaws evenly.

If the microwave setting is too high, the surface of the

food will already have begun to cook while the inside

7. R239 English 07.2.19 7:43 PM Page 16 (1,1)TIPS AND ADVICE ENGLISH

TURNING/STIRRING Almost all foods have to be turned or stirred from time

to time. As early as possible, separate parts which are

stuck together and rearrange them.

SMALL AMOUNTS Thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones. We

recommend that you freeze portions which are as

small as possible. By so doing you will be able to

prepare whole menus quickly and easily.

FOODS REQUIRING CAREFUL HANDLING Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread

should only be partially thawed and then left to thaw

completely at room temperature. By so doing you will

avoid the outer areas becoming too hot while the

inside is still frozen.

STANDING TIME This is particularly important after thawing food, as the

thawing process continues during this period. In the

thawing table you will find the standing times for

various foods. Thick, dense foods require a longer

standing time than thinner foods or food of a porous

nature. If the food has not thawed sufficiently, you may

continue thawing it in the microwave oven or lengthen

the standing time accordingly. At the end of the

standing time you should process the food as soon as

possible and not re-freeze it.

COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES ● When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as far as possible, they are of similar size. This is

particularly important when you want to cook the

vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potatoes). ● Wash the vegetables before preparing them, clean them and only then weigh the required quantity for

the recipe and chop them up. ● Season them as you would normally, but as a rule only add salt after cooking. ● Add about 5 tbsps of water for 500 g of vegetables. Vegetables which are high in fibre

require a little more water. You will find information

about this in the table. ● Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a lid. Those with a high moisture content, e.g. onions or

boiled potatoes, can be cooked in microwave foil

without adding water. ● After half the cooking time has elapsed vegetables should be stirred or turned over. ● After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature

disperses evenly (standing time). ● The cooking times given are guidelines and depend upon the weight, initial temperature and

condition of the type of vegetable in question. The

fresher the vegetables, the shorter the cooking

COOKING MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY ● When buying food items, try to ensure that, as far as possible, they are of similar size. This will

ensure that they are cooked properly. ● Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry thoroughly under cold running water and pat them

dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal. ● Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.● Even though the pieces may be of a similar size, cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst

other things, to the kind of food, variations in the fat

and moisture content as well as the temperature

before cooking. ● After the food has been cooking for 15 minutes it acquires a natural brownness, which may be

enhanced by the use of a browning agent. If, in

addition, you would like the surface to be crisp you

should either use the browning dish or sear the

food on your cooker and finish cooking it in your

microwave. By doing this you will simultaneously

obtain a brown base for making a sauce.

● Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half way

through the cooking time, so that they are cooked

evenly from all sides. ● After cooking cover roasts with aluminium foil and allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes (standing

time). During this period the roast carries on cooking

and the liquid is evenly distributed, so that when it is

carved a minimum amount of juice is lost.

THAWING AND COOKING Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and cooked at the

same time in one process in your microwave. You will

find some examples in the table. Do take note,

however, of the general advice given on “heating” and

“thawing” food. Please refer to the manufacturer’s

instructions on the packaging when preparing deep-

frozen dishes. These usually contain precise cooking

times and offer advice on preparation.

TABLE: COOKING FRESH ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE MICROWAVE OVEN If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for

the microwave, you should take note of the

Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow

the example of the recipes in this cookery book.

Foods which have a high moisture content such as

meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and

soups can be prepared in your microwave without

any difficulty. Foods which have little moisture,

such as platters of food, should have the surface

moistened prior to heating or cooking.

The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods,

which are to be braised, should be reduced to

about two thirds of the quantity in the original

recipe. If necessary, add more liquid during

The amount of fat to be added can be reduced

considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine

or oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason

your microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat

foods as part of a diet.

● All the recipes in this cookery book are

calculated on the basis of 4 servings - unless

● Recommendations relating to suitable utensils

and the total cooking times are given at the
