Ovenware
■
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g. a china
or glass plate, but do not cover.
Resting time
■
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional
10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. Large
pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller
pieces. Flat pieces of meat and items made from minced
meat should be separated from each other before leaving to
stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even
though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle.
The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
Signal
■
For some programmes, a signal sounds after a certain time.
Open the appliance door and separate the food out or turn
the meat or poultry. Close the door and press the Start
button.
Programme no.

Cooking with the automatic programmes

With the 3 cooking programmes, you can cook rice, potatoes
or vegetables.
Notes
Ovenware
■
The food must be cooked in microwaveable cookware with a
lid. For rice, you should use a large, deep dish.
Preparing food
■
Weigh out the food. You need to know the weight to set the
programme.
Rice:
Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Add the required amount of
water, as specified on the packaging. This is usually two or
three times the quantity of rice.

Information regarding the tables

The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Always place the ovenware on the turntable.
