Information about operation

General
• After switching off the appliance, let the
food stand for a few minutes (see Micro-
wave Tables: Standing Time).
• Remove aluminium foil packaging, metal
containers, etc. before preparing the food.

Cooking

• If possible, cook food covered with mate-
rial suitable for use in the microwave. Only
cook food uncovered, if a crust is to be
kept.
• Chilled or frozen foods require a longer
cooking time.
• Dishes containing sauce should be stirred
from time to time.
• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such
as carrots, peas or cauliflower, should be
cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces about halfway through
the cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar sized
pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish

• Place the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container un-
derneath or on a defrosting rack or plastic
sieve so that the defrosting liquid can run
off.

• Turn the food after half the defrosting time.
If possible, divide, remove pieces that have
started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark
• Do not defrost completely in the appliance,
but leave to defrost at room temperature.
This gives a more even result. Remove any
metal or aluminium packaging or parts be-
fore defrosting completely.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• Do not completely defrost fruit and vege-
tables, which are to be further prepared
while still raw, in the appliance, but at room
temperature.
• Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked,
can be cooked directly using a higher mi-
crowave power, without being defrosted.
Ready Meals
• Ready meals in metal packaging or plastic
trays with metal covers may only be de-
frosted or heated in the microwave if these
are expressively designated as suitable for
use in the microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's in-
structions printed on the packaging (e. g.
remove metal cover and pierce plastic
film).
