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:
• Do not use the baking tray or deep pan
(if applicable) with the Microwave func-
tion.
• If possible, cook food covered with ma-
terial 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.
• 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.
• 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 cooking
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 bot-
toms. Moisture going into the holes can
cause the cookware to crack when it is
heated.
• The bottom glass (if applicable) 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 plas-
tic sieve so that the defrosting liquid
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 temperature.
This gives a more even result. Fully re-
move all metal or aluminium packaging
or parts 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 de-
frosting them first.
