WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!

Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become
hot.

Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or ac-
cessories from the cooking compartment.

Note: 

The times given in the tables are guidelines and

depend on the quality, temperature and consistency of
the food.

1.

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

2.

Select a type of food from the recommended set-
tings.

3.

Add the food to a suitable tableware.

Page 8

4.

Always place the cookware on the turntable.

5.

Set the appliance according to the recommended
settings.

Time ranges are often specified in the recommen-
ded settings. Set the shorter cooking time first. If ne-
cessary, increase the cooking time. If two mi-
crowave power settings and times are specified in
the tables, set the first microwave power setting and
cooking time first and, after the signal, set the
second.

Tip: 

If you want to cook quantities that deviate from

those specified in the tables, set approximately double
the time for double the amount.

14.2 Tips for defrosting and heating

Follow these tips for good results when defrosting and
heating.

Issue

Tip

The food should be de-
frosted, hot or cooked
once the time has
elapsed.

Set a longer cooking
time. Larger quantities
and food which is piled
high require longer times.

Once the time has
elapsed, the food should
not be overheated at the
edge and cooked in the
middle.

¡

Stir the food occasion-
ally.

¡

Set a lower microwave
power setting and a
longer cooking time.
