Cooking food
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
which is piled high. You should therefore distribute the
food so that it is as flat as possible in the container.
Foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of one
another.
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. Food should be
stirred or turned during cooking.
This will help the food retain more of its own distinct
taste, so it will require less seasoning.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5
minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared. Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb: Double amount = double the cooking time, half amount = half
the cooking time
The food has become too dry.
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave out-
put setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
When the time has elapsed, the food is still not defrosted,
hot or cooked.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave
output setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the
outside but not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. If you are defrost-
ing a large quantity, turn it several times.
