Tested for you in our cooking studio
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal
settings for them. We will show you which type of
heating and which temperature or microwave output
setting is best for your meal. You can find information
about suitable accessories and the height at which
they should be inserted. There are also tips about
ovenware and preparation methods.
Notes
‒ The values in the table always apply to food
placed into the cooking compartment when it is
cold and empty. Only preheat the appliance if the
table specifies that you should do so. Before
using the appliance, remove all accessories from
the cooking compartment that you will not be
using.
‒ Do not line the accessories with greaseproof
paper until after they have been preheated.
‒ The times specified in the tables are only
guidelines. They will depend on the quality and
composition of the food.
‒ Use the accessories supplied. Additional
accessories may be obtained from specialist
retailers or from the after-sales service.
‒ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
taking accessories or ovenware out of the
cooking compartment.

Risk of scalding!
When pulling out the enamel baking tray, hot liquid
may overflow. Pull out the enamel baking tray carefully
from the cooking compartment.
The following tables provide you with numerous
options and settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines.
They may vary according to the ovenware used, the
quality, temperature and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the
shortest time first and then extend the time if
necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those
specified in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied
for microwave-only operation: Double amount - just
under double the cooking time, half amount - half the
cooking time.
You can place the ovenware in the centre of the wire
rack or on the oven floor. The food will then absorb
the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Place the frozen food in an open container on the
oven floor.
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken
or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with
small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch
the appliance walls. You can remove the foil half way
through the defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the
defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be
turned several times. When turning, remove any liquid
that has been produced during defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature
for a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature
can stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry
at this point.
