Tip

Cooking tips

¡

The recommended settings always apply to the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.

¡

The times specified in the overviews are intended as
a guide only. They will depend on the quality and
composition of the food.

1.

Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary
cookware from the cooking compartment.

2.

Select the desired food from the recommended set-
tings.

3.

Place the food in suitable cookware.

4.

Place the cookware in the middle on the cooking
compartment floor.
The food will then absorb the microwaves from all
sides.

5.

Use the recommended settings when configuring
the appliance settings.
Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, in-
crease the cooking time.

6.

Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot
cookware out of the cooking compartment.

17.2 Defrosting, heating and cooking with
the microwave

Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and
cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as
on the temperature, composition and quantity of the
food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin
with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher set-
ting the next time. It may be that you have different
quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a
rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost
double the time, half the amount = half the time.

Defrosting with the microwave

Note:

Cooking tips

¡

Freeze the food flat.

¡

Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.

¡

Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.

¡

Turn or stir the food 2–3 times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.

¡

Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.

¡

After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.

¡

Separate any defrosted parts when turning.
