Warning and Safety instructions The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Correct use Risk of burning due to the grill. When grilling with or without the microwave function, the microwave oven can get hot. You could burn yourself on the oven compartment, the grill element, food, accessories or the appliance door. Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment.
Warning and Safety instructions Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of cooking food. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard. There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in the microwave oven. Do not dry these items in the microwave oven.
Warning and Safety instructions Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the microwave.
Warning and Safety instructions Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the microwave oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot surfaces. Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave, as this can easily ignite. Fire hazard.

Description of function The microwave oven contains a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into electromagnetic waves (microwaves). These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven compartment, and are reflected off the metal appliance walls. This enables the microwaves to reach the food from all sides and heat it up. Microwave distribution is improved with the turntable engaged. In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking container being used.
Modes of operation Food is cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly in a microwave oven. Functions You can use the microwave oven in the following ways: Suitable for defrosting, reheating and cooking. – Food can be defrosted, reheated or cooked by entering a power setting and a duration. Grilling – Deep-frozen, ready meals can be defrosted and then reheated or cooked. – The microwave oven can also be used for other tasks, e.g.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Microwaves: Material and shape The material and shape of the container used affect reheating and cooking durations. Round and oval-shaped shallow containers are particularly suitable. Food heats up more evenly in these containers than in square containers. Risk of injury due to hollow - are reflected by metal. - pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and cardboard. - are absorbed by food. Fire hazard due to unsuitable container.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Do not place aluminium foil dishes on the rack in case the dish sparks or arcs. - Pieces of aluminium foil For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to mask wingtips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the programme. Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens suitable for use in a microwave oven. Disposable containers, such as trays made from polystyrene, can only be used to reheat food for a short time. Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand. The holes allow the steam to escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure from forming and the bag from bursting. There are also special bags available for steam cooking which do not need to be pierced.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens A heat-retaining cover Damage due to heat-sensitive - prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods with longer reheating times. - speeds up the reheating process. - prevents food from drying out. - helps keep the oven compartment clean. plastic. The material of the cover can generally withstand temperatures of up to 110 °C (see manufacturer information). At higher temperatures the plastic can distort and fuse with the food.

Reheat Select the following microwave power levels to reheat food: Drinks 800 W Food 600 W Food for babies and children 450 W Risk of burning due to hot food. Food for babies and children must not be too hot. Only heat it for 1/2 to 1 minute at 450 watts. Tips on reheating Always use a lid or cover when reheating food, except when a crispier finish is needed, e.g. food with a breadcrumb coating. Danger of explosion due to pressure build-up.
Reheat Food taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to cook than food which is at room temperature. The time required depends on the nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be cooked. Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue reheating for a little longer. Stir or turn larger amounts of food from time to time during reheating.
Cooking Place the food in a microwave safe container and cover it. When cooking, it is a good idea to select a power level of 800 W to start with and then when the food is hot reduce the power level to 450 W for more gentle continued cooking. For dishes such as rice or semolina pudding, first select a power level of 800 W, and then reduce it to 150 W for simmering. Risk of injury due to eggs with Tips on cooking without shells.
Defrost Health risk due to refreezing. Thawed or defrosted food loses nutritional value through refreezing and can go off. Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. Use it as quickly as possible. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. Select the following microwave power levels for defrosting food: - 80 W for defrosting very delicate food, e.g. cream, butter, gateau and cheese. - 150 W for defrosting everything else.
