MICROWAVE MODE
Microwave
General:
CAUTION! Do not let the
appliance operate when there is
no food in it.
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for some minutes. Refer
to the microwave cooking tables:
standing time.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you
prepare the food.
• It is not recommended to use more than
one level when using the microwave
mode.
• Put the food on a plate on the bottom of
the cavity if not specified differently.
• If possible, always stir the food before
serving.
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 a crust.
• 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
in their shells and snails, because they
can burst. With fried eggs, pierce the
yolks first.
• Pierce skin or peel of potatoes,
tomatoes, sausages and similar types of
food with a fork several times before
cooking so that the food does not burst.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer
cooking time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be
stirred from time to time.
• Turn larger pieces of food after half 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 unglazed
bottoms or small holes, e.g. on handles .
Moisture going into the holes can cause
the cookware to crack when it is heated.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it, or on a defrosting rack or
plastic sieve so that the defrosting liquid
can run off.
• Turn the food after half the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then remove
the pieces that have started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but
let them defrost completely at a room
temperature. This gives a more even
result. Remove all metal or aluminium
packaging or parts before defrosting.
