Warming up and reheating food
Your appliance offers you various ways of warming up
or reheating food. The microwave mode heats food
and drinks incredibly quickly. Steam-assisted reheating
can be used to gently heat your food and have it look-
ing as though it has been freshly cooked.
Warming up food using the microwave mode
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during warming.
¡ After warming up the food, leave it to rest for
1-2 minutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.
¡ Make sure that you do the following when you are
warming up baby food:
– Place bottles on the wire rack without the teat or
lid.
– Shake or stir the baby food well after warming it
up.
– Always check the temperature of the baby food.
¡ Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
warm up food.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling tem-
perature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the
Recommended settings for reheating

Tips for keeping food warm
¡ Using the "Keep warm" heating function prevents
condensation from forming. You will not have to
wipe down the cooking compartment.
¡ To prevent the food from drying out, you can cover
it.
¡ Do not keep food warming for longer than 2 hours.

surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the
hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter.
Always place a spoon in the container when heating

liquids. This will prevent delayed boiling.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
▶
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Reheating
¡ Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suit-
able for cooking with steam.
¡ Use wide, shallow cookware. Reheating takes
longer if you use cold cookware.
¡ Place the cookware on the wire rack.
¡ Place food that you are not reheating in cookware
(e.g. bread rolls) directly onto the wire rack at
level 2.
¡ Do not cover the food.
¡ Do not open the cooking compartment door while
the food is being reheated, otherwise large amounts
of steam will escape.
¡ Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
reheat food.
