Fruit, compote
Microwave tips
You cannot find any information about the settings for the quan-
tity of food you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the edge
but not done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside
but not defrosted in the middle.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the door window, interior walls and
floor. This is normal. This does not affect how the microwave
operates. Wipe away the condensation after cooking.
Bread for toasting (pre-toasting)
Toast with topping
Soup with toppings,
e.g. onion soup
Combined grill and microwave
Notes
The combined operation is particularly suitable for cooking
■
bakes and gratins.
Always place the dish on the turntable and do not cover the
■
food.
Use a high-sided dish for roasting. This keeps the cooking
■
compartment cleaner.
Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes
■
longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more on
top.

Notes
-
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
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave
power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrost-
ing a large quantity, turn it several times.
Tips for grilling
Notes
All the values given are guidelines and can vary depending on
■
the properties of your food.
Always grill on the wire rack with the cooking compartment door
■
closed and do not preheat.
Always place the wire rack on the turntable.

Accessories

Turntable
Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It
■
must not be too large, as the turntable must still be able to turn.
Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the food after the
■
shorter time specified.
Leave the meat to rest for another 5 to 10 minutes before
■
cutting it. This allows the meat juices to be distributed evenly so
that they do not run out when the meat is cut.
Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the appliance for a
■
further 5 minutes after the appliance has been switched off.
