When heating liquids, use containers with a
large neck, so that the steam may evaporate
easily.
Prepare foods according to the tips and pay
attention to the cooking times and power
levels indicated in the tables.
Remember that the values given are merely
a guideline and that they may vary
depending on the initial state, temperature,
humidity and type of food. We recommend
that the times and power levels be adjusted
to each situation. Depending on the food, the
cooking time should be extended or
shortened and the power level should be
raised or reduced.
Cooking with microwaves...
1. The greater the quantity of food, the
longer the cooking time. Remember the
following rules:

Double the quantity - double the time

Half the quantity
– half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the
cooking time.
3. Liquid foods heat faster.
4. Proper distribution of the food on the
rotating plate facilitates uniform cooking.
If the solid foods are placed on the outer
part of the plate and the least solid in the
middle of the plate, it will be possible to
heat different kinds of food at the same
time.
5. The door of the appliance may be opened
at any time. The appliance is
automatically switched off. The
microwave only continues to function if
the door is closed.
6. Foods that are covered require less
cooking time and their characteristics are
better preserved. The lid must allow the
microwaves to pass through and should
have little openings to allow the steam to
come out.
Important tips!

Eggs with shells and whole eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens as they
may explode.

Before heating or cooking foods with shells
or skin (e.g., apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages) prick them with a fork so that
they do not open up.

When foods are prepared with very little
humidity (e.g. defrosting bread, making
popcorn, etc.), the humidity evaporates
very fast. The appliance then functions with
a vacuum and the food may be carbonised.
This situation may cause damage to the
appliance and to the container being used.
Therefore, the oven should be set only for
the necessary time and the cooking
process should be supervised.

It is not possible to heat large quantities of
oil (fry) in the microwave.

Do not heat liquids in airtight containers.
Explosion hazard!

Alcoholic drinks may not be heated to high
temperatures. Therefore, the oven should
be set only for the necessary time and the
cooking process should be supervised.

Do not heat any kind of explosive material
or liquid in the microwave.

Remove precooked foods from the
packaging, because the latter is not always
heat-
resistant. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.

If there are various different containers,
such as cups for example, place them
uniformly on the rotating plate.

Always heat baby bottles or jars of baby
food without lids or teats. After heating,
shake or stir it well to ensure that the heat
is uniformly distributed. The temperature of
the containers is considerably lower than
that of the heated food. Check the
temperature of the food before giving it to
the child, to avoid burns.
