USER MANUAL R-96ST-A SHARP

This operation manual contains important information which you should read carefully before using your microwave oven.

Important: There may be a serious risk to health if this operation manual is not followed or if the oven is modified so that it operates with the door open.

F Chere cliente, cher client,

Congratulations on acquiring your new microwave oven, which from now on will make your kitchen chores considerably easier.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with your combined microwave oven. Not only can you use it for rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals. The combination of microwave, hot air convection and grill means that food can cook and brown at the same time, and much faster, than by using the conventional method.

In our test kitchen our microwave team has gathered together a selection of the most delicious international recipes which are quick and simple to prepare.

Be inspired by the recipes we have included and prepare your own favourite dishes in your microwave oven. There are so many advantages to having a microwave oven which we are sure you will find exciting:

• Food can be prepared directly in the serving dishes, leaving less to wash up.
• Shorter cooking times and the use of little water and fat ensure that many vitamins, minerals and characteristic flavours are preserved.

We advise you to read the cookery book guide and operating instructions carefully.

You will then easily understand how to use your oven.

Enjoy using your combined microwave oven and trying out the delicious recipes.

Your Microwave-Team.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

To avoid the danger of fire.

The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high, or cooking times that are too long, may overheat foods resulting in a fire.

In cases where the oven is to be installed into kitchen cabinet, the installation frame EBR-9900 for R-969 (W)/EBR-9910 for R-969 (IN)/EBR-99ST for R-96ST-A licensed by SHARP must be used. This is available from your dealer. Refer to the frame installation instructions or ask your dealer for the proper instruction procedure. Only the use of this frame will guarantee the safety and quality of the product.

The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz , with a minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 16A distribution circuit breaker.

A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be provided.

Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.

Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or where moisture may collect.

Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

Use only microwave-safe containers and utensils. See Page GB-33-34. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and turntable support after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.

Do not place flammable materials near the oven or ventilation openings.

Do not block the ventilation openings.

Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.

Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch fire.

To make popcorn, use only special microwave popcorn makers.

Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.

Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired.

To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies or Christmas pudding.

See the corresponding hints in operation manual and the cookery book section.

To avoid the possibility of injury

WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use:

a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to make sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they are not damaged.

If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way.

Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Follow the instructions for "Care and Cleaning" on page GB-30. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock

Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet. Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and call an authorised SHARP service agent.

Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge of a table or work surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep the power supply cord away from heated surfaces, including the rear of the oven.

Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by an authorised SHARP service agent.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.

Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers such as baby bottles, as this may result in the contents erupting from the container when heated and cause burns.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

1. Do not use excessive amount of time (See page GB-41).

2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

3. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil (not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.

To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.

Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature.

Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.

Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.

Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, CONVECTION mode, DUAL mode, EXPRESS COOK, POTATO and INSTANT ACTION operations as they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.

To avoid misuse by children

WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy.

Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

Other warnings

Never modify the oven in any way.

Do not move the oven while it is in operation.

This oven is for home food preparation only and may only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid damage.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual, see Page GB-8. Doing so may damage the oven.

When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and turntable support due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dishes instructions must not be exceeded.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.

Use only the turntable and the turntable support designed for this oven. Do not operate the oven without the turntable.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is still hot from using the GRILL mode, CONVECTION mode, DUAL mode, EXPRESS COOK, POTATO and INSTANT ACTION operations, because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be used during above modes unless the container manufacturer says they are suitable.

NOTE:

If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.

Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.

INSTALLATION

1. Remove all packing materials from the inside of the oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet from between the door and cavity. Remove the feature sticker, if attached, from the outside of the door.

Remove this film.

1. The oven door may become hot during cooking. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85~cm or more above the floor. Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.
2. Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at the top rear of the oven.

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply:

900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.

630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

450 W for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
270 W (Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
90 W for gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.

$$ \mathbf {W} = \mathbf {W A T T} $$

CARE AND CLEANING

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.

Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.

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.

Oven exterior

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.

Oven controls

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.

Oven Interior

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. Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire, and cause arcing. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
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.
4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the convection and grill, refer to "Heating without food" on page GB-8. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell.

Accessories

The accessories should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.

SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT

After cooking, always clean the turntable support, especially around the rollers. These must be free from food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes or grease may overheat and cause arcing, begin to smoke or catch fire.

Door

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 harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

NOTE: Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or accessories, it may overheat, cause arcing, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

Also, when you press the STOP key and open the door during these cooking modes, the cooling fan will run; you may, therefore, feel air blowing from the ventilation openings.

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves, similar to radio and TV-waves.

Microwaves are generated by a magnetron inside the microwave oven and cause the water molecules in food to vibrate. This causes friction, which in turn generates heat, which then thaws, heats or cooks your food.

The secret of the shorter cooking time is that microwaves enter your food from all sides. Energy is used optimally. In comparison with a stove, the energy used on a burner reaches the food only through the hot plate and the cooking pot. This "detour" loses a lot of energy.

FEATURES OF MICROWAVES

Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects, like

glass, porcelain, ceramics, plastic, wood or paper. This is why microwaves do not heat these materials. Cookware is heated only indirectly through the heat of the food.

Foods absorb microwaves and heat up. Microwaves cannot penetrate material made of metal because metal reflects microwaves.

Therefore, objects made of metal are not usually suitable for use in a microwave. There are some exceptions to this rule, where you may use this exact attribute. You might cover certain areas of some foods with aluminum foil during thawing or cooking. This way you can avoid areas that are too warm or too hot or overcooked. Please remember the following notes.

By using microwaves in your new combi-microwave oven, you can quickly heat individual servings or drinks, or melt butter or chocolate in a very short time. The microwave is also exceptionally well suited for thawing foods. In many cases it is beneficial to combine microwaves with hot air or the grill.

This enables you to cook and brown your foods in a short time. Compared to conventional roasting, the cooking time is usually much shorter.

By joining two different modes of operation, the benefits of your microwave oven will improve functionality.

You may choose between

• Microwave + Hot air (ideal for roasts, poultry, casseroles, pizza, bread and cakes) and
• Microwave + Grill (ideal for quick-fried, roasts, poultry, chicken drum sticks, shish kabobs, cheese toast and "au gratin").

By using the combi operation you can cook and brown foods simultaneously.

One benefit is that the hot air or the heat of the grill element will quickly seal the pores of the food's outer surface. Microwaves ensure a short cooking time. The food will stay moist on the inside and be crunchy brown on the outside.

HOT AIR OPERATION

You can also use hot air without the microwaves. The result will be just like in a conventional hot air stove. Circulating air quickly heats the outer surfaces of your food. Meat, for example, will stay moist and your food will not dry out.

This sealing process ensures that your foods will stay tasty and cook faster than regular stoves with top- and bottom heating elements.

GRILL OPERATION

Your new microwave oven is equipped with a quartz grill located on the ceiling of the cooking chamber. Just like any conventional grill, it can be used without the microwaves. You can quickly brown or grill foods. This is especially suitable for steaks, cutlets or gratinating foods.

SUITABLE COOKWARE

GLASS AND GLASS-CERAMIC

Heat-resistant glassware is very suitable. You can observe the cooking process from all sides. It cannot contain any metal (e.g. lead crystal) or a metal coating (e.g. gold frame, china blue).

CERAMIC

In general, ceramic is very suitable. Ceramic must be glazed because moisture can

penetrated the ceramic if it is unglazed. In a microwave oven, this moisture will heat up and can cause the ceramic to shatter. If you are not sure whether your cookware is suitable for use in a microwave, please do a suitability test. See Page GB-34.

PORCELAIN

In general, porcelain is very suitable. Be sure that your porcelain does not contain any metal or gold or silver plating.

PLASTIC

Heat resistant, microwave-safe plastic ware is suitable for thawing, heating and cooking. Please note the manufacturer's instructions.

PAPER DISHWARE

Heat resistant, microwave-safe paper dishware is also suitable. Please note the manufacturer's instructions.

PAPER TOWELS

can be used to absorb excess moisture in short

heating processes, e.g. for bread orbreaded items.Put the paper towel between the food and the turning plate.The surface of your food will stay dry and crunchy.

Covering the food with paper towels will contain splatters from greasy foods.

MICROWAVE FOIL

or heat resistant foil is suitable for covering or wrapping foods. Please note the manufacturer's instructions.

ROASTING BAGS

can be used in the microwave oven. Metal clips are not suited to close such bags, as they might cause the foil to melt. Use kitchen string to close these bags and pierce the bag with a fork. Do not use foils

that are not heat resistant, e.g. cling film, in your microwave.

METAL

should not be used, because the microwaves cannot penetrate it and can therefore not reach your foods. There are some exceptions: Narrow strips of aluminum foil can be used to cover parts of

food, so that these parts do not thaw or cook too fast (e.g. the wings of a chicken).

Small metal spikes and aluminum bowls (e.g. in ready-to-serve meals) can be used.

They must be small in relation to the food, e.g. the food must fill the aluminum bowl at least 2/3 to 3/4.). We recommend transferring such foods to dishes suitable for use in a microwave. When using

aluminum bowls or other metal dishes, you must keep a minimum distance of about 2.0cm to the walls of the cooking chamber, otherwise they can be damaged by possible sparks.

DO NOT USE DISHES WITH METAL PLATING,

or metal parts, e.g. screws, bands or handles.

SUITABLE COOKWARE

SUITABILITY TEST

If you are not sure whether your dishes are suitable for the use in a microwave, please do the following test: Place the dish into the microwave oven. Place a

glass vessel filled with 150 ml of water on top of or next to the dish. Turn the microwave oven on for 1 to 2 minutes at 900 W power. If the dish stays cool or at room-temperature, it is suitable for use in the microwave oven. Do not use this test for plastic dishware as it might melt.

In general, heat resistant microwave dishes, e.g. made of porcelain, ceramic or glass, are also suitable for the combi operation (microwave and hot air, microwave and grill). Please remember that the hot air or the grill will also heat up your

dish. Plastic dishware and foil are not suitable for combi-operation. Do not use paper towels or baking parchment. It could overheat and ignite.

METAL

should not be used. Exceptions are coated backing pans, which allow the outer surface of the food, e.g. bread or cakes, to brown. Please remember the notes for cookware suitable for microwave operation. If sparks develop, put heat resistant insulating material, e.g. small porcelain plate, between the metal object and the grill. If sparks develop, do not use such materials for cooking in COMBI OPERATION

COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR HOT AIR AND GRILL OPERATION

For cooking with hot air or grill without microwave operation, you may use any dish that is suitable for use in a conventional stove or grill.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

BEFORE YOU BEGIN...

To make the use of your microwave as easy as possible, please read the following notes and tips: Only turn your microwave on when food is placed inside the cooking chamber.

ENTER THE TIME

Times for thawing, heating and cooking are usually much shorter than in a conventional stove or oven. Please adhere to the times recommended in this cookbook. You should enter a shorter time rather than a longer one. After cooking, test for doneness. It is better to add some time after testing for doneness than to overcook the food.

INITIAL TEMPERATURE

The time required to thaw, heat or cook a food are dependent on the initial temperature of the food. Frozen or refrigerated foods, for example, require a longer heating time than foods at room temperature.

For heating and cooking of foods, we assume normal storage temperature (refrigerator

temperature, about 5^ , room temperature about 20^ . We assume a temperature of -18^ for thawing frozen foods.

Popcorn must only be made in special popcorn containers suitable for use in microwave. Adhere exactly to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not

use regular paper containers or glass cookware.

Do not cook Eggs in their shell. Pressure will build inside the shell, which could lead to an explosion of the egg. Pierce the egg yellow with a fork prior to cooking.

Do not heat oil or grease used for frying in the microwave. The oil temperature cannot be

controlled. The oil could splatter.

Do not heat closed vessels, like jars or cans. The pressure could cause such vessels to explode. (Exception: Canning/Preserves).

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

ALL STATED TIMES...

are guidelines, which vary depending on initial temperature, weight and consistency (water or oil content, etc.) of the foods.

SALT, SPICES AND HERBS

Foods cooked in the microwave retain their flavor better than foods cooked by conventional methods. Use salt sparingly and salt your foods only after cooking. Salt will retain fluid and dry out the surface. Herbs and spices can be used as usual.

TEST FOR DONENESS:

Foods can be tested for doneness just like when used with conventional methods:

• Food thermometer: After cooking or heating, every food has a certain interior temperature. This temperature can be measured with a food thermometer.
• Fork: Fish can be tested with a fork. If the fish meat is no longer translucent and easily detaches from the fish bones, the meat is done. If it is overdone, it is dry and tough.
• Wood picks: Cake and bread can be tested for doneness by using a wooden pick. Insert the wood stick and pull it out. If it remains clean and dry, the food is done.

DETERMINING COOKING TIME WITH A FOOD THERMOMETER

When food is cooked, every drink and every food has a certain interior temperature, which indicates that the food is done and the result will be good. You can measure this interior temperature with a food thermometer. The most important temperatures are listed in the temperature table.

TABLE: DETERMINING COOKING TIME WITH A FOOD THERMOMETER

Drink/Food	Interior temperature after cooking time is completed	Interior temperature 10 to 15 minutes of standing time

Medium	60-65°C	65-70°C
Well-done	75-80°C	80-85°C
Pork and veal	80-85°C	80-85°C

ADDING WATER

Vegetables and other foods with high water content can be cooked in their own fluid or with very little additional water. Many vitamins and minerals will remain in the food.

FOODS WITH SKIN OR SHELL

like sausage, chicken, chicken drum sticks, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, egg yolk or similar should be pierced with a fork or a wooden pick. Steam can release without shattering the skin or shell.

GREASYFOODS

Marbled meat and outer, fatty parts cook faster than lean meat. Cover such parts with aluminum foil or place them with the fatty side down.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

BLANCH VEGETABLES

Vegetables should be blanched prior to freezing. This retains the quality and aroma of the food. Process: Wash and cut the vegetable. Put 250 g vegetables and 275 ml water into a bowl, cover and heat for 3-5 minutes. Put blanched foods immediately into ice water to stop the foods from cooking and allow to drip dry. Seal the blanched vegetables in an airtight container and freeze.

PRESERVING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

Preserving fruits and vegetables using your microwave is quick and easy. Special jars, sealing rings and clamps suitable for microwave use are available.

The manufacturers will supply detailed user instructions.

SMALL AND LARGE AMOUNTS

The microwave times are dependent on the amount of food you thaw, heat or cook. This means that small portions will be done faster than large ones. A basic rule is:

DOUBLE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST DOUBLE THE TIME

HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME

HIGH AND FLAT CONTAINERS

Both containers will have the same capacity, but cooking will take longer in the high container than in the flat one. We recommend that you use flat

containers with a large surface whenever possible. Use high containers only for foods that might boil over, e.g. noodles, rice, milk, etc.

ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS

Foods in round or oval containers cook more evenly than foods in square containers, because the microwave energy concentrates in corners.

The food located in the corner will overcook.

COVERS

Covering your food will help retain moisture and shorten the cooking time. Use a lid, microwave foil or a cover cap. Foods that should develop a crust, e.g. roast or chicken,

should not be covered. Follow this rule: If it should be covered when using a conventional stove, it should be covered in the microwave. If it is cooked uncovered on a conventional stove, it should also be cooked uncovered in the microwave.

IRREGULAR SHAPED FOODS

should be placed with the thicker or more compact side to the outside. Vegetables (e.g. Broccoli) should be placed with the stems toward the outside.

Thicker parts will require a longer cooking time and will receive more microwave energy when placed on the outside. The food will be cooked more evenly.

STIRRING

Foods must be stirred, because microwaves reach

the outer areas first. Stirring will even the temperature and the food will be more evenly heated.

ARRANGEMENT

Several individual portions, e.g. pudding molds, cups or potatoes, should be placed in a ring-shape on the turntable. Leave some space between portions, so that the microwave energy will penetrate the food from all sides.

TURNING

Medium size parts, like mincemeat and steaks, should be turned over once during the cooking process to shorten the cooking time. Large pieces, like roast and chicken, should be turned over because the topside will receive more microwave energy than the bottom side, it could dry out if it is not turned.

STANDING TIME

Allowing standing time is one of the most important rules of microwave cooking. Almost all foods thawed, heated or cooked in the microwave require a short

or longer standing time, which allows the equalization of temperature. Fluids then can evenly flow through the food.

HEATING

• Ready-to-eat meals in aluminum containers should be removed from the container and heated on a plate or a bowl.
• Foods should be covered with microwave foil, plates or cover caps (sold in stores) to prevent the surface from drying out. Drinks should not be covered.

• Remove the lid of tightly closed containers. When cooking fluids like water, coffee, tea or milk, insert a glass stick into the container.
  If possible, stir larger amounts occasionally to even the temperature.

• All times are listed for foods at a room temperature of 20^ C. The heating time will increase slightly for foods at refrigerator temperatures.

• Allow foods to stand for 1-2 minutes after heating to allow the temperature to even out throughout the food (standing time).
• All times are guidelines and can vary depending on initial temperature, weight, water content, fat content and the desired final state of the food.

THAWING

The microwave is ideal for thawing foods. Time required for thawing is usually much shorter than when thawing foods with conventional methods. Some tips.

Remove the frozen food from its wrapping and put it on a plate.

WRAPPING AND CONTAINERS

Wrappings and containers suitable for use in microwave and also freezing (up to about - 40^ C) and heat resistant (up to about 220^ C) are very appropriate for thawing and heating foods. You can use such material for thawing, heating and cooking without having to transfer the food to other containers.

COVERS

Thinner parts should be covered with aluminum foil during thawing. Thawed or warm parts should also be covered with aluminum foil. This prevents that

thin parts overheat while thick parts are still frozen.

should be set lower rather than higher. This helps you achieve even thawing. If the microwave power is too high, the food surface will be cooked while the interior of the food is still frozen.

TURNING/STIRRING

Almost all foods must be turned or stirred once. Parts sticking to each other should be separated as soon as possible and

rearranged.

SMALLER AMOUNTS...

twill thaw more evenly and quicker than large amounts. We recommend that you freeze your food in small portions. You can quickly and easily create a whole menu.

DELICATEFOODS

like tortes, cream, cheese and bread should not be completely thawed. Only the outer surface should be thawed, the rest of the food should thaw at room temperature. This will avoid outer surfaces overheating while inner parts are still frozen.

STANDING TIME...

after thawing food is very important, because the thawing process is finished during this time. In the thawing table you can find standing times for various foods. Thick, compact foods will require a longer standing time than flat or porous foods. If the food is not sufficiently thawed, you can keep thawing it in the microwave or extend the standing time correspondingly. After standing time, foods should be processed as soon as possible and not refrozen.

THAWING AND COOKING

In a microwave oven, frozen meals can be thawed and cooked in one process. The table will show you some examples. (See Page GB~40.) Also remember the general notes on "Heating" and "Thawing" of foods.

To prepare commercially available frozen meals, please follow the manufacturers instructions as indicated on the package. Usually, the exact cooking times and notes for the preparation in a microwave are listed.

COOKING OF MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY

• When shopping, make sure that all pieces are as even as possible. This will ensure a good cooking result.
• Thoroughly wash meat, fish and poultry in cold, running water and dry with a paper towel prior to preparation. Process as usual.
• Beef should be well hung and with few tendons.

• The cooking result can vary even with similar size meat pieces. This is, in part, due to the type of food, various fat and water content and also the initial temperature.

• Larger meat, fish and poultry pieces should be turned once during cooking to ensure more even cooking on all sides.

• After cooking, cover roasts with aluminum foil and let it stand for about 10 minutes (standing time). The roast will continue to cook during this time, i.e. fluid will be evenly distributed, so that less moisture is lost when cutting.

COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES

• When shopping, make sure that all pieces are as even as possible. This is very important if you'd like to cook the vegetables in one piece (e.g. potatoes).
• Wash and clean vegetables prior to preparation, then measure and cut the amount required for your recipe.
• Season the food like usual, but salt your foods only after cooking.

• Add about 5 tablespoons of water for each 500g of vegetables. Fibrous vegetables will require more water.

• Vegetables are usually cooked in a covered bowl. Vegetables with a high water content, e.g. onions or potatoes, can be cooked in a microwave foil without any additional water.

• Stir or turn the vegetable once while cooking.
• After cooking, allow the vegetables to stand for about 2 minutes, so that the temperature will distribute evenly (standing time).
• All times are guidelines and can vary depending on initial temperature, weight and the consistency of the vegetable. The cooking time will be shorter the fresher the vegetables are.

LEGEND

MICROWAVE POWER

Your microwave uses 900 W and has 5 power levels. You should select the microwave power according to the guidelines in this cookbook. In general, follow these recommendations:

100% Power = 900 Watt

used for fast cooking or heating, e.g. individual portions on plates, hot drinks, vegetables, fish, etc.

70% Power = 630 Watt

For longer cooking times used for more compact foods, e.g. roasts or delicate foods, e.g. cheese sauces, the microwave power is reduced. Foods will not boil over and meat will cook more evenly, the sides will not overcook, if a lower power setting is used.

50% Power = 450 Watt

For compact foods, which require a long cooking time when using conventional cooking methods, e.g. beef, we

30% Power = 270 Watt

Use a low power level for thawing. This ensures that the food will thaw evenly. This level is also ideal for cooking rice, noodles or dumplings at a low.

10% Power = 90 Watt

Use this lowest power level for delicate thawing, e.g. cream tortes.

RECIPES

MODIFICATION OF CONVENTIONAL RECIPES

For microwave operation

If you'd like to modify your favorite recipes to use a microwave, you should note the following: Shorten cooking time by 1/3 or 1/2. Use the recipes in this cookbook as a guideline.

Foods with a high water content, like fish, meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups, can easily be prepared in the microwave. When cooking foods with a low water content, like plate servings, the food surface should be moistened with water prior to cooking or heating.

When adding fluids to raw foods that should be steamed, reduce the amount of fluid listed in the original recipe to 2/3. If necessary, add more fluid during cooking.

The addition of cooking fat can be greatly reduced. A small amount of butter, margarine or oil is sufficient to add flavor to your foods. The microwave is therefore great for preparing low-fat foods for dieting.

For combi operation

In general, the same rules apply as for microwave operation. Additionally, please remember the following notes.

1. Use the recipes in this cookbook as a guideline when selecting the Hot Air temperature. The temperature should not be too high even for long cooking times, since the foods will brown too much on the outside while still being raw on the inside.
2. The microwave power should correspond to the type of food and the cooking time. Use the recipes in this cookbook as a guideline.
3. If you prepare foods using the combi microwave-grill operation, you should observe the following: For large, big foods, e.g. pork roast, the microwave time is correspondingly longer than for small, flat foods. It is exactly opposite when using the grill. The closer the food is located to the grill, the faster it will brown. This means that when you prepare large pieces of roast in the combi operation, the grill time might be shorter than for smaller pieces of roast.
4. For cooking in combi operation or with hot air only, the lowest grill rack is usually used. Use the highest grill rack for grilling, to achieve a faster and more even browning (exception: large, big foods and casseroles should be grilled on the lowest grill rack).

USING THESE RECIPIES

• All recipes in this cookbook will make – unless otherwise noted – 4 portions.
• Recommendations for suitable dishware and the total cooking time can be found at the beginning of each recipe.

• If the use of the lowest or highest rack is indicated in the recipe, please use exclusively the round racks.

• Usually the recipes will result in ready-to-eat amounts of food, unless another amount is specifically noted.

• All eggs listed in these recipes have a weight of about 55g (weight class M)
