Microwave

Information about operation
General
• After switching off the appliance, let the food stand for a few minutes (see Microwave
Tables: standing time).
• Remove aluminium foil packaging, metal containers, etc. before preparing the food.
Cooking
• If possible, cook food covered with material 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 underneath
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 and then 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
completely before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• Do not completely defrost fruit and vegetables, 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 defrosted
or heated in the microwave if these are expressively designated as suitable for use in the
microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the packaging (e. g. remove
metal cover and pierce plastic film).
