User manual

• 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 the cook-
ing time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-
sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porce-
lain, 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 bottom glass is a work space for
heating food or liquids. It is necessary
for the operation of the microwave
oven.
• Always put the glass stick in the con-
tainer when you heat liquids, in order
to prevent overcooking or splashing.
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 liq-
uid can run off.
• Turn the food after half the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then re-
move the pieces that have started to
defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance,
but let them defrost at room tempera-
ture. This gives a more even result.
Fully remove all metal or aluminium
packaging or parts before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegeta-
bles, which are to be further prepared
while raw, in the appliance. Let them
defrost at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave pow-
er to cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers can only
be defrosted or heated in the micro-
wave if they are expressively designa-
ted as suitable for use in the micro-
wave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's in-
structions printed on the packaging (e.
g. remove the metal cover and pierce
the plastic film).
