Contact our after-sales service if mainten- ance or repair work is needed. 2 Preventing material damage Follow these instructions to prevent material damage to your appliance, accessories or other objects in your kit- chen. 2.1 General Follow these instructions when using the appliance. ATTENTION! When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in- side it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.

Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot. The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion.

Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.

Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment for a long time with the door closed.

Do not store food in the cooking compartment. Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over time.

Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.

Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.

Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation. If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not close properly when the appliance is in operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.

Keep the seal clean at all times. Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.

Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.

Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli- ance door. With certain models, accessories may scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door.

Always push accessories fully into the cooking com- partment. Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break it. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance.

Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. 2.2 Microwave Follow these instructions when using the microwave. ATTENTION! Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.

Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least 2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.

Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance. When preparing microwave popcorn at a high mi- crowave power, the door pane may crack due to over- loading.

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.en Environmental protection and saving energy

The microwave feed is damaged by the removal of the cover.

Never remove the cover of the microwave feed in the cooking compartment. 3 Environmental protection and saving energy Help protect the environment by using your appliance in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of reusable materials properly. 3.1 Disposing of packaging The packaging materials are environmentally compat- ible and can be recycled.

Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately. Information about current disposal methods are available from your specialist dealer or local author- ity. 3.2 Saving energy If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power. Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom- mended settings tell you to do so.

Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en- ergy used by up to 20%. Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins.

These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu- larly well. Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.

This will maintain the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminate the need for the appli- ance to reheat. When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.

The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.

There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish. Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated. Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

This will save the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.Familiarising yourself with your appliance en

Dish Tip General ¡ Keep cooking times as short as possible. ¡ Brown dishes until they are golden brown and not too dark. ¡ Use large, thick pieces of food. These contain less acrylamide. Baked items and biscuits ¡ Set the temperature for hot air to max. 180°C. ¡ Brush baked items and biscuits with egg or egg yolk. This re- duces the production of acrylamide. Oven chips ¡ Spread the chips out evenly and in a single layer on the baking tray. ¡ Cook at least 400g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out. 16.3 Defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave. The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as on the temperature, composition and quantity of the food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher set- ting the next time. It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost double the time, half the amount = half the time.How it works en

Tips on defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave Follow these tips for good results when defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave. Issue Tip You want to prepare a dif- ferent amount than that in- dicated in the table. 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 Defrosting with the microwave Recommended settings for defrosting food and dishes. Note: Preparation tips ¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid. ¡ Turn or stir the food two or three times during the defrosting time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting. ¡ After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes. ¡ 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 halfway through the defrosting time.

Issue Tip Your food is too dry. ¡ Reduce the cooking time or select a lower microwave power set- ting. ¡ Cover the food and add more liquid. The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked. Increase the cooking time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer times. The time has elapsed but your food is not yet done on the inside, but is already overdone on the outside. ¡ Stir while cooking. ¡ Reduce the microwave power setting and in- crease the cooking time. After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defros- ted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle. ¡ Reduce the microwave power setting. ¡ Turn large pieces of frozen food several times. 16.4 Cakes and baked items Recommended settings for cakes and baked items. The temperature and baking time depend on the con- sistency and amount of the mixture. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. A lower temperature results in more even browning. Baking tips We have compiled a few tips to help you achieve a good baking result. Issue Tip You want your cake to rise evenly. ¡ Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. ¡ After baking, use a knife to carefully loosen the cake from the baking tin. You do not want small baked items to stick to each other when baking. Leave a minimum clear- ance of 2cm around each item to be baked. This allows enough space for the baked items to ex- pand and brown on all sides. Determine whether the cake is ready. Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If no dough sticks to the wood, the cake is ready. You want to bake using your own recipe. Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide. Use bakeware made of silicone, glass, plastic or ceramic. ¡ The bakeware must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. ¡ Cakes in this bake- ware brown less. ¡ When using the mi- crowave, the cooking time is shorter than the time shown in the table. Cakes in tins Recommended settings for baking cakes in tins Note: Preparation tips ¡ The recommended settings apply to dishes placed into the non-preheated appliance. ¡ Always place the cake tin in the centre of the wire rack. ¡ Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe bakeware. ¡ Metal baking tins are not suitable for baking with microwaves.en How it works

This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. Roasting in cookware If you prepare dishes in cookware, you can remove them from the cooking compartment more easily and serve them directly in the cookware. When preparing food in cookware with a lid, the cooking compartment remains cleaner. General information about roasting in cookware ¡ Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.en How it works

¡ Metal roasting dishes are not suitable for roasting with microwaves. ¡ Place the cookware onto the wire rack. ¡ Check in advance whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment. ¡ Glass cookware is best. Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cook- ing. The glass may crack if placed on a cold or wet surface. ¡ The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take the cookware out of the oven. ¡ Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roast- ing dishes. Cookware without lid Use a deep roasting dish. Cookware with lid ¡ Use a suitable lid that seals well. ¡ When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid as the meat may ex- pand. ¡ Meat, poultry and fish can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. Use a roasting dish with a glass lid. If necessary, set a higher temperature. WARNING‒Risk of scalding! Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.

Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can es- cape away from you.

Keep children at a safe distance. Notes ¡ Lean meat or pot roast – Add liquid to the cookware so that it is approx. 1/2 cm deep, e.g. water, wine, vinegar or similar liquid. The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat, what the cookware is made of and on whether or not a lid is used. More liquid needs to be added to enamelled or dark metal roasting pan than for glass cookware. Add slightly more liquid for pot roasts. – During roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will evaporate. Carefully add liquid as necessary. – Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. ¡ Fish – When steaming fish, add one to three table- spoons of liquid to the cookware, e.g. lemon juice or vinegar. Grilling Grill foods that should be crispy. ¡ Do not grill food with the oven door open. ¡ Do not preheat. ¡ Use food to be grilled that is of a similar weight and thickness. This allows the food to be grilled to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. ¡ Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. ¡ Use grill tongs to turn the grilled items. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry. ¡ Do not add salt until after the meat has been grilled. Salt draws water from the meat. Note:Dark meat, such as beef, browns more quickly than lighter-coloured meat, such as veal or pork. When grilling light-coloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside. The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The frequency of this depends on the grill level that is set. Smoke may be produced when grilling. Tips for roasting and braising Follow these tips for good results when roasting and braising. Issue Tip Prevent lean meat from drying out. ¡ Coat lean meat with fat or oil as required and cover it with strips of bacon. Prepare joints with the rind on. ¡ Score the rind in a criss-cross pattern. ¡ Roast the joint with the rind facing down first. Keep the cooking com- partment as clean as pos- sible. ¡ Prepare the food in a covered roasting dish at a higher temperat- ure. The meat should remain succulent and hot, e.g. roast beef. ¡ When the roast is ready, switch off the oven and leave it to rest for 10 minutes in the cooking compart- ment with the door closed. This helps dis- tribute the meat juices more evenly. The rest- ing time is not in- cluded in the indicated cooking time. ¡ After preparing it, wrap the food in foil.
