General information about using the appliance

• After you deactivate the appliance, let the food stand for several minutes.
- Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal containers, etc. before you prepare the food.

Cooking

• If possible, cook food covered with a material suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook food without a cover if you want to keep it crusty
• Do not overcook the dishes by choosing too high a power setting and too long a time. The food can dry out, burn or catch fire in some places.

• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in their shells as they may explode. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.

• Pierce the skin or peel of potatoes, tomatoes, sausages and similar types of food with a fork several times before cooking so that the food does not burst.

• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cooking time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred from time to time.
  • Vegetables that have a firm structure, such as carrots, peas or cauliflower, must be cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces of food halfway through the cooking process.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
  • Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain, ceramic or earthenware with unglazed bottoms or small openings, for example, on handles. Moisture may get into these openings causing the cookware to crack when heated up.
• The glass cooking tray is necessary for the operation of the microwave. Place the food or liquids on it.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish

• Put frozen, unwrapped food on a small angled plate with a container below so that the defrosting liquid collects in the container.
• Turn the food halfway through the defrosting time. If possible, separate and then remove the pieces that started to defrost.

Defrosting butter, portions of gateau, quark

- Do not fully defrost the food in the appliance, but let it defrost at room temperature. It gives a more even result. Remove all metal or aluminium packaging before defrosting.

Suitable cookware and materials

Defrosting fruit, vegetables

• If fruit and vegetables should remain raw, do not defrost them fully in the appliance. Let them defrost at room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first use a higher microwave power.

Ready meals

• You can prepare ready meals in the appliance only if their packaging is suitable for microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the packaging (e.g. remove the metal cover and pierce the plastic film).

Tips for the microwave cooking

Problem Remedy
You cannot find details on the amount of food prepared.	Look for a similar type of food. Increase or shorten the length of the cooking times according to the following rule:Double the amount almost double the time.Half the amount is a half time.
The food got too dry.	Set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked when the time ends.	Set a longer cooking time or a higher power. Note that large dishes need a longer time.
After the cooking time ends, the food is overheated on the outside, but still not ready inside.	Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids halfway through, e.g. soup.

Rice cooking results are poor. To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.

Defrosting

Always defrost roast fat side down.

Do not defrost covered meat as it may cause cooking instead of defrosting.

Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.

Cooking

Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay covered after cooking.

Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.

All vegetables should be cooked at the full microwave power.

Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of vegetables.

Cut fresh vegetables into even sized pieces before cooking. Cook all vegetables with a cover on the container.

Reheating

When you reheat packed ready meals always follow the instruction written on the packaging.

Grilling

Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill rack.

Turn the food over halfway through the set time and continue grilling.

Combi Cooking

Use Combi Cooking to keep the crispness of certain foods.

Halfway through the cooking time turn the foods over and then continue cooking.

Each mode combines the microwave and the grill functions at different time periods and power levels.
