order to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed), the timer and programme functions

– Open the door and remove the container with the food.
– In order to achieve an even heat distribution through the food, the container should be set aside for
several minutes.
Note: If the door is not opened immediately after the pre-programmed operating time has elapsed, a
4-beep signal is heard every 2 minutes.
Note: The following steps are used for setting the cooking time:
0 – 5 minutes : 10-second steps
5 – 10 minutes : 30-second steps
10 – 30 minutes : 1-minute steps
30 – 95 minutes : 5-minute steps
– The cooking times generally depend on several factors.
- Microwave radiation penetrates the surface of the food. For larger pieces of food, a longer
cooking time is therefore needed than for the same amount of food if cut into pieces. The food
should also be evenly distributed on the plate.
- To ensure that any germs in the food are safely destroyed, the food needs to be exposed to high
temperatures for a sufficiently long period.
- As a basic rule: half the amount - half the time recommended
double the amount - almost double the time recommended .
