microwave. Only cook food without a
cover if you want to keep a crust.
• 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 in their shells and snails,
because they can burst. With fried
eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Pierce 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.
• Turn larger pieces of food after half
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 unglazed bottoms or small holes,
e.g. on handles . Moisture going into
the holes can cause the cookware to
crack when it is heated.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it, 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 the pieces that have started
to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance,
but let them defrost completely at a
room temperature. This gives a more
even result. Remove all metal or
aluminium packaging or parts before
defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• If fruit and vegetables should remain
raw, do not defrost them fully in the
appliance but let them defrost
completely at a room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a
higher microwave power.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers can
only be defrosted or heated in the
microwave if they are expressively
designated as suitable for use in the
microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and
pierce the plastic film).
