5.1 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.

1. Set the function
2. Let the oven operate for 30 minutes.
3. Open the door and let it cool down.
4. Clean the oven cavity with a moist soft
cloth and dry carefully.
The oven can emit an odour and smoke.
Make sure that the airflow in the room is
sufficient.
• 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.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• If fruit and vegetables should remain raw,
do not defrost them fully in the appliance.
Let them defrost at room temperature.
