General information about using the appliance
• After you deactivate the appliance, let the food
stand for some minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal
containers, etc. before you prepare the food.
Cooking
• If possible, cook food covered with material suitable
for use in the microwave. Only cook food without a
cover if you want to keep it crusty
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power
and time too high. The food can dry out, burn or
catch fire in some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in
their shells, because they can explode. With fried
eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as potatoes,
tomatoes, sausages, with a fork several times
before cooking so that the food does not explode.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cooking 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. Moisture 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 container.
• 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 appliance, but let
it defrost at room temperature. This gives a more
even result. Fully remove all metal or aluminium
packaging before defrosting.
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 appliance only
if their packaging is suitable for microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instructions
printed on the packaging (e.g. remove the metal
cover and pierce the plastic film).

Tips for the microwave
Problem Remedy
You cannot find details for the amount of food
prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of the
cooking times according to the following rule: Double the
amount = almost double the time, Half the amount = half the
time
The food got too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after the
time came to an end.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that large
dishes need longer time.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the food
is overheated at the edge but is still not ready in
the middle.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids half-
way through, e.g. soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.
Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this may cause
cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.
8
Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the
refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay covered
after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.
All vegetables should be cooked at full microwave
power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of
vegetables.
Cut the fresh vegetables into even size pieces before
cooking. Cook all vegetables with a cover on the
container.
Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals always follow the
instruction written on the packaging.
Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.
