¡
To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan into the cooking compartment at least
one level below the wire rack.
Notes
¡
The grill element switches on and off continuously.
This is normal. The grill setting that you use determ-
ines how frequently this occurs.
¡
Smoke may be produced when grilling.
29.4 Microwave cooking
If you cook food using the microwave mode, you can
reduce the cooking time considerably.
General information
¡
When using the microwave mode, the cooking time
is determined based on the total weight.
If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the
specified quantity, the general rule is Double the
quantity requires just under double the cooking
time .
¡
The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware may become very hot.
¡
The main part of the instruction manual contains in-
formation on how to configure the microwave and
microwave boost oven settings.

Cooking, braising or steaming using the
microwave mode
¡
Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. Alternat-
ively, you can use a plate or special microwaveable
film to cover the dish.
¡
For cereal products, e.g. rice, use deep cookware
with a lid. Cereal products foam a lot during cook-
ing. Add liquid in accordance with the instructions
and information provided in the recommended set-
tings tables.
¡
Do not wash or dry food. Add 1-3 tablespoons of
water or lemon juice to the food.
¡
Spread the food out so that as much of it as pos-
sible is in contact with the bottom of the cookware.
Food that is in contact with the bottom will cook
more quickly than food that is piled up.
¡
Use salt and seasoning sparingly. When cooking
food using the microwave mode, most of the food's
natural flavour will be retained.
¡
Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during cooking.
¡
After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2-3 minutes.
29.5 Cooking frozen products
¡
Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.
¡
Remove any ice.
¡
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
29.6 Cooking ready meals
¡
Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡
If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in
cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-res-
istant.
