chapter 1 - general 1.6 OVENWARE In the microwave only and combi with microwave functions, any glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramic, china or terracotta ovenware may be used provided it has no metal decorations or parts (e.g. gold decorations, metal handles, feet etc.). Heat resistant plastic plates can also be used, but only for "microwave only" cooking.
chapter 1 - general 1.7 RULES AND TIPS FOR USING THE OVEN Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They occur in nature in the form of light waves (eg. sunlight). In the oven, these waves penetrate food from all directions to heat water, fat and sugar molecules. Heat is generated in the food itself, while the container warms up as a result of heat spreading from the food only. In microwave cooking, food does not stick to the dish.
CHAPTER 2 - USING THE CONTROLS AND SETTING THE FUNCTIONS 2.1 SETTING THE CLOCK • • • • The first time the appliance is connected to the household electricity supply or after it has been without power for some time, four dashes (--:--) will appear on the display.

CHAPTER 3 - USING THE OVEN: TIPS AND COOKING TIME TABLES 3.1 DEFROSTING • Frozen foods in plastic bags, film, or oven ready containers can be placed directly in the oven. Check first that there are no metal objects like staples or ties. • Certain types of food such as green vegetables and fish do not require defrosting completely before cooking. • Foods in meat and other sauces defrost quicker and more evenly if they are stirred, turned and/or separated occasionally.
chapter 3 - using the oven: tips and cooking time tables 3.2 HEATING Your microwave oven is at its most useful and efficient when heating up food. Compared to traditional methods, microwaves save both time and electricity. • You are recommended to heat food (particularly if frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be piping hot!). You will not be able to eat the food at once as it will be too hot, but complete sterilisation will be guaranteed.
chapter 3 - using the oven: tips and cooking time tables 3.3 - COOKING HORS D'OEUVRES AND FIRST COURSES Soups in general can be made with less water because very little water is lost through evaporation in microwave ovens. Add salt at the end of cooking or during standing time because salt has a dehydrating effect. Note that the time required to cook rice (or pasta) in a microwave oven is more or less the same as required to cook it traditionally on the stove.
chapter 3 - using the oven: tips and cooking time tables 3.5 - COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGETABLES Compared to traditional cooking methods, vegetables retain more of their natural colour and nutritional goodness when cooked in a microwave oven. Before cooking, wash and clean the vegetables. Cut larger vegetables into evenly sized pieces. Add 5 dessertspoons of water for every 500 g of vegetables (fibrous vegetables need more water).
