4. Press the START - button to start the machine. The
length of cooking depends on the quantity and consis-
tency of the contents. With a little practice you will soon
learn to estimate the cooking time.
Please note : cooking in the microwave oven is very
much faster than in a standard cooker. If you are not
sure, set the cooking time to low and continue cooking
afterwards if necessary.
After the time has elapsed the oven switches itself off
and the word „END“ appears in the display. Then you
can remove the food.

Warming
The warming and heating of food is a particular strength
of the microwave. Liquids and foods that are in the refri-
gerator can be easily brought up to room temperature or
the right temperature for consumption without the need for
many pots.
The heating times contained in the following table are
only rough guides as the time depends very much on the
starting temperature and the composition of the food. You
are therefore advised to check from time to time whether
the dish is already hot enough.
