Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Disposal of your old appliance Old appliances contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Read these operating instructions carefully before installation and before using the appliance for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Warning and Safety instructions Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Warning and Safety instructions Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even cause it to catch fire. There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs etc. are dried in the microwave oven. Always ensure that this type of procedure is supervised.
Warning and Safety instructions This so-called ‘boiling delay’ can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning. The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open. The user could be injured and the appliance damaged. The boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that bubbles form at an early stage during the operation.
Warning and Safety instructions Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags intended for normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which relfects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites. Always ensure that food or a browning dish has been placed in the microwave, and that the turntable is in place, before switching on.
Warning and Safety instructions When using browning dishes: Disposal of your old appliance Always use oven gloves when handling the browning dish to avoid burns. Before disposing of your old appliance first make it unusable. Cut off and render any plug unusable. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. Never place the browning dish directly onto a table or work surface.
How the microwave oven functions How does the microwave oven function? As heat is produced directly in the food, In a microwave oven there is a high-frequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into microwaves. These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior and rebound off the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides. Microwave distribution is improved with the turntable engaged.
Programmes What can a microwave oven do? In what ways can a microwave oven be used? In the microwave oven, food is cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly. Microwave-solo mode You can use your microwave in the following ways: – Food can be defrosted, reheated or cooked by entering a power setting and a time. – Deep frozen ready-made 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 containers used affect cooking results and times. Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped flat containers than in rectangular containers, providing better results. Metal – are reflected by metal, Metal containers, aluminium foil and metal cutlery, or china with metallic decoration, such as gold rims or cobalt blue must not be used in an oven being used in microwave mode.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens – 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 Roasting bags and tubes can also be used. Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm longer and roasting bags about 20 cm longer than the food being roasted, and carefully tied with string. Turn the ends over and secure them. The bag should be pierced according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use metal clips, plastic clips containing metal parts, or paper ties containing wire. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens The cover – prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes. – shortens and evens out the cooking process. – prevents food from drying out. – prevents any loss of aroma. – helps keep the oven interior clean. Sealed glass containers, such as jars of baby food must be opened before they are placed in the oven.

Cooking Place the food in a microwave-proof dish and cover it. When cooking it is a good idea to select a power level of 800 watts to start with and then when the food is hot reduce the power level to 450 watts for more gentle continued cooking. For dishes such as rice or semolina pudding first select a power level of 800 watts and then reduce it to 150 watts for simmering. Tips on cooking Vegetable cooking times depend on the texture of the vegetable.
Defrosting / Defrosting and reheating or cooking Defrosting Select the following microwave power settings to reheat food: – 150 W: for defrosting delicate foods e.g. milk, bread, cake, fruit etc. – 80 W: for defrosting very delicate foods, e.g. cream, butter, cheese and gateaux made with cream or butter cream. Remove the food from its packaging and place in a microwave-proof container. Do not cover. Turn, stir or separate the food about half-way through the defrosting time.
Other uses Melting margarine, butter Melt 100 g at 450 watts uncovered for approx. 1-11/2 minutes. Melting chocolate Break 100 g into pieces, melt at 450 watts uncovered for approx. 2 minutes. Dissolving gelatine Add water according to manufacturer’s instructions given on the packet and melt at 450 watts for approx. 1/2 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
