General information about using the appliance

General:

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

Cooking:

• If possible, cook food covered with 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 setting the power and time too high. 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, because they can explode. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork several times before cooking so that the food does not explode.
• 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 after half of the cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain, ceramic or earthenware with small holes, e. g. on handles or un-

glazed bottoms. Moisture going into the holes can cause the cookware to crack when it is heated.

- The glass cooking tray is a work space for heating food or liquids. It is necessary for the operation of the microwave.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:

- Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it so that the defrosting liquid collects in the container.

- Turn the food after half of the defrosting time. If possible, divide 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. This gives a more even result. Fully remove all metal or aluminium packaging before defrosting.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables:

• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables, which are to be further prepared while raw, in the appliance. Let them defrost at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power to cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first.

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).

Helpful hints and tips

Tips for the microwave

Problem Remedy
You cannot find details for the amount of food prepared.	Look for a similar 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 = half the time
The food got too dry.	Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after the time came to an end.	Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that large dishes need longer time.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the food is overheated at the edge but is still not ready in the middle.	Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids halfway through, e.g. soup.

To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.

Defrosting

Always defrost roast with the fat side down.

Do not defrost covered meat because this 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.

Care and cleaning

Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.

Add 30 – 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of vegetables. Cut the fresh vegetables into even size 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.

Warning! Refer to the Safety chapters.
