• The glass cooking tray is a work space for
heating food or liquids. It is necessary for
the operation of the microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it so
that the defrosting liquid collects in the con-
tainer.
• Turn the food after half of the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then remove the
pieces that started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost the food in the appli-
ance, but let it defrost at room temperature.
This gives a more even result. Fully remove
all metal or aluminium packaging before de-
frosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables,
which are to be further prepared while raw,
in the appliance. Let them defrost at room
temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power to
cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting
them first.
Ready meals:
• You can prepare ready meals in the appli-
ance only if their packaging is suitable for
microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions printed on the packaging (e.g. remove
the metal cover and pierce the plastic film).
