Microwave tips

You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the out-
side but not defrosted in the middle.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the door window, interior walls
and floor. This is normal. This does not affect how the
microwave operates. Wipe away the condensation after
cooking.
Bread for toasting (pre-toasting)
Toast with topping
Soup with toppings,
e.g. onion soup

Combined grill and microwave

Notes
The combined operation is particularly suitable for cooking
■
bakes and gratins.
Always place the dish on the turntable and do not cover the
■
food.
Use a high-sided dish for roasting. This keeps the cooking
■
compartment cleaner.
Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes
■
longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more
on top.

-
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.

Tips for grilling

Notes
All the values given are guidelines and can vary depending
■
on the properties of your food.
Always grill on the wire rack with the cooking compartment
■
door closed and do not preheat.
Always place the wire rack on the turntable.

Accessories
Wire rack
Wire rack
Turntable
Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It
■
must not be too large, as the turntable must still be able to
turn.
Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the food after
■
the shorter time specified.
Leave the meat to rest for another 5 to 10 minutes before
■
cutting it. This allows the meat juices to be distributed evenly
so that they do not run out when the meat is cut.
Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the appliance for
■
a further 5 minutes after the appliance has been switched off.
