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 oven door as infrequently as possible while you are cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.

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.

Defrosting and cooking with the automatic programmes

You can use the 4 defrosting programmes to defrost meat, poultry and bread.

With the 3 cooking programmes, you can cook rice, potatoes or vegetables.

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.
Put the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g. a glass or porcelain plate, but do not cover.
Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.
A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight ranges and the accessories required can be found in the section after the tips.
It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight range.

Defrost

Notes

If possible, freeze and store food flat and in portions at - 18^

Put the frozen food on shallow tableware, e.g. a glass or porcelain plate.

Place the ovenware on the lower wire rack.

Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain off this liquid when you turn the food. Under no circumstances should it be used for other purposes or be allowed to come into contact with other foods.

After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.

• When defrosting chicken and chicken portions (P03), a signal will sound on two occasions to indicate that the food should be turned.

Resting time

The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional 10-30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature.

Large pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat and items made from minced meat should be separated from each other before leaving to stand.

After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

04	Bread 0.20 - 1.00

Cooking

Place the ovenware on the lower wire rack.

Rice (P05)

Notes

The food must be cooked in microwaveable cookware with a lid. For rice, you should use a large, deep dish.
- Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Rice foams a lot during cooking. Enter the uncooked weight (without liquid). Add two to two and a half times the amount of liquid to the rice.

Potatoes (P06)

Note: Boiled potatoes:

Cut into pieces of equal size. Add a little salt and 1 tablespoon of water for every 100g of potatoes.

Vegetables (P07)

Notes

Fresh vegetables:

Cut into equal sized pieces. Add 1 tablespoon of water for every 100g of vegetables.

Resting time

Once the programme has finished, stir the food again. You should leave it to stand for another 5-10 minutes until it reaches an even temperature.

The cooking result will depend on the quality and consistency of the food.

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 amount - just under double the cooking time, half amount - half the cooking time.

Place the ovenware in the centre of the lower wire rack. The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.

Defrosting

Notes

• Place the frozen food in an open container on the wire rack.
• Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove the foil half way 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 resulted from defrosting.
• Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can stabilise. 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.

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 2cm 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.
- Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time. Check the temperature.
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.

Notes

Use heat-resistant, flat glass ovenware, e.g. the lid of an ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass tray (Pyrex)
Always place the ovenware on the wire rack.
Do not use porcelain or overly curved plates.
Make the settings as described in the table. You can adjust the timings according to product and amount.

So that the popcorn doesn't burn, briefly take the popcorn bag out of the oven after 1 minute and 30 seconds and shake it. Take care as the bag will be hot!

Risk of scalding!

• Open the popcorn bag carefully as hot steam may be released.
• Never set the microwave to full power.

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 time Half 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 micro- wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the out- side 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.

Cakes and pastries

About the tables

Notes

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 lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time, since a lower temperature results in more even browning.

Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section following the tables.
Always place the cake tin in the centre of the lower wire rack.

Baking tips

You want to bake according to your own recipe.	Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Use baking tins made of silicone, glass, plastic or ceramic materials.	The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. Cakes in these baking tins will be less brown. When using the microwave, the cooking time will be shorter than the time shown in the table.
How to establish 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 cocktail stick at its highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses. Use less liquid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower and extend the baking time. 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 tin. 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. When it is done, make small holes in the 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, streaked with 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.	After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5 to 10 minutes, then it will be easier to turn out of the tin. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin 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 centre of the cooking compartment. Ovenware and accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always be some discrepancy when you measure the temperature yourself.
Sparks are generated between the tin and the wire rack.	Check that the tin is clean on the outside. Change the position of the tin in the cooking compartment. If this does not help, continue baking but without the microwave. The baking time will then be longer.

Roasting and grilling

About the tables

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 lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time,

For more information, see the section entitled Tips for grilling and roasting which follows the tables.

Ovenware

You may use any heat-resistant ovenware which is suitable for use in a microwave. Metal roasting dishes are not suitable for roasting with microwaves.

The ovenware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take the ovenware out of the oven.

Place hot glass ovenware on a dry kitchen towel after they have 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 ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It should not be too big.

Meat:

Cover approx. two thirds of the ovenware base with liquid. Add a little 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.

Poultry:

Turn the pieces of meat after 2/3 of the cooking time has elapsed.

Tips for grilling

Notes

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 2 to 3cm thick. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Do not add salt to steaks until 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, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lightercoloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling lightcoloured 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 will happen.

Beef

Notes

Turn pot-roasted beef after 1/3 and 2/3 of the cooking time. Finally, allow to stand for approx. a further 10 minutes.
Turn fillet of beef and sirloin halfway through the cooking time. Finally, allow to stand for approx. a further 10 minutes.
Turn steaks after 2/3 of the cooking time.

Tips for roasting and grilling

The table does not contain information for the weight of the joint.	For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
How to 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.

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 crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread.

	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 Hot air, max. 180 °C.
Biscuits	With Hot air, max. 170 °C. Egg white and egg yolk reduce the forma- tion of acrylamide.
