General:
CAUTION! Do not let the appliance
operate when there is no food in it.
• After you deactivate the appliance, let the food
stand for some minutes. Refer to the microwave
cooking tables: standing time.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal
containers, etc. before you prepare the food.
• It is not recommended to use more than one
level when using the microwave mode.
• Put the food on a plate on the bottom of the
cavity if not specified differently.
• If possible, always stir the food before serving.
Cooking:
• If possible, cook food covered with material
suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook
food without a cover if you want to keep a crust.
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the
power and time too high. The food can dry out,
burn or catch fire in some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs in their
shells and snails, because they can burst. With
fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Pierce skin or peel of potatoes, tomatoes,
sausages and similar types of food with a fork
several times before cooking so that the food
does not burst.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cooking
time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred
from time to time.
• Turn larger pieces of food after half the cooking
time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized
pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain,
ceramic or earthenware with unglazed bottoms
or small holes, e.g. on handles . Moisture going
into the holes can cause the cookware to crack
when it is heated.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it, or on a
defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the
defrosting liquid can run off.
• Turn the food after half the defrosting time. If
possible, divide and then remove the pieces that
have started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau, quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but let
them defrost completely at a room temperature.
This gives a more even result. Remove all metal
or aluminium packaging or parts before
defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• If fruit and vegetables should remain raw, do not
defrost them fully in the appliance but let them
defrost completely at a room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting
them first, you can use a higher microwave
power.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or plastic trays
with metal covers can only be defrosted or
heated in the microwave if they are expressively
designated as suitable for use in the microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instructions
printed on the packaging (e.g. remove the metal
cover and pierce the plastic film).
