Warming up and reheating food
Your appliance offers you various ways of warming up
or reheating food. The microwave mode heats food
and drinks incredibly quickly. Steam-assisted reheating
can be used to gently heat your food and have it look-
ing as though it has been freshly cooked.
Warming up food using the microwave mode
¡
Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid.
¡
Turn or stir the food 2-3 times during warming.
¡
After warming up the food, leave it to rest for
1-2 minutes.
¡
The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.
¡
Make sure that you do the following when you are
warming up baby food:
– Place bottles on the wire rack without the teat or
lid.
– Shake or stir the baby food well after warming it
up.
– Always check the temperature of the baby food.
¡
Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
warm up food.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently
shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil
over and splatter.
▶
Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Reheating
¡
Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suit-
able for cooking with steam.
¡
Use wide, shallow cookware. Cold cookware ex-
tends the reheating time.
¡
Place the cookware on the wire rack.
¡
Place food that you are not reheating in cookware
(e.g. bread rolls) directly onto the wire rack at
level 2.
