• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cook-
ing 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.
• Turn larger pieces after half of 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 small holes, e.
g. on handles or unglazed bottoms. Mois-
ture going into the holes can cause the
cookware to crack when it is heated.
• The glass cooking tray is a work space for
heating food or liquids. It is necessary for
the operation of the microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it so
that the defrosting liquid collects in the con-
tainer.

• Turn the food after half of the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then remove the
pieces that started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost the food in the appli-
ance, but let it defrost at room temperature.
This gives a more even result. Fully remove
all metal or aluminium packaging before de-
frosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables,
which are to be further prepared while raw,
in the appliance. Let them defrost at room
temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power to
cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting
them first.
Ready meals:
• You can prepare ready meals in the appli-
ance only if their packaging is suitable for
microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions printed on the packaging (e.g. remove
the metal cover and pierce the plastic film).
