Tips for the microwave
Problem Remedy
You cannot find details for the amount
of food prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the
length of the cooking times according to the follow‐
ing rule: Double the amount = almost double the
time, Half the amount = half the time
The food got too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave
power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked after the time came to an end.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note
that large dishes need longer time.
After the cooking time comes to an
end, the food is overheated at the edge
but is still not ready in the middle.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir
liquids halfway through, e.g. soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat,
wide dish.
Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side
down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this
may cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side
down.
Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry
from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes
before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables
stay covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the
fish.
All vegetables should be cooked at full
microwave power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250
g of vegetables.
Cut the fresh vegetables into even size
pieces before cooking. Cook all
vegetables with a cover on the container.
Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals
always follow the instruction written on the
packaging.
Grilling
Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill
rack.
Turn the food over halfway through the set
time and continue grilling.
Combi Cooking
Use the Combi Cooking to keep the
crispness of certain foods.
At the half of the cooking time, turn over
the foods then continue.
Each mode combines the microwave and
the grill functions at different time periods
and power levels.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Notes and tips on cleaning
• Clean the front of the appliance with a
soft cloth with warm water and a
cleaning agent.
