ate). For this feature to operate, the
cooking time must be longer than

clock functions ( Duration , End
Time ).

use the heat to keep food warm.

vate the lamp during cooking.

7.1 Microwave
Information about operation
General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for some minutes (refer
to “Microwave Tables: standing
time”).
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you pre-
pare the food.
Cooking:
• If possible, cook food covered with
material suitable for use in the micro-
wave. 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.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such
as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with
a fork several times before cooking so
that the food does not burst.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer
cooking time.
