q Opening the oven door interrupts microwave
operation. Microwave operation is resumed once
the door is closed.
The following tables provide you with numerous
options and setting values for the microwave.
The time specifications in the tables are guidelines
only. They may vary according to the quality 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 amounts to those
specified in the table.
A rule of thumb exists for this purpose:
Double the amount - double the time,
half the amount
Always place the dish onto the wire grill on level 1.
Frozen food should be placed in a flat dish or on
a plate.
Sensitive parts, such as the legs and wings of
chicken, or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered
with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil should not
come into contact with the oven walls. The aluminium
foil can be removed after half the defrosting time.
Turn the food after the half the defrosting time. Large
pieces of food should be turned several times.
Leave defrosted items to stand for approx. 10 minutes
so that the temperature can stabilize. With poultry, the
giblets can be removed at this point.
Having made the desired settings, always press
the start button.
