• Turn larger pieces after half of the cooking
time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized
pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain, ce-
ramic or earthenware with small holes, e. g.
on handles or unglazed bottoms. Moisture
going into the holes can cause the cookware
to crack when it is heated.
• 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 appliance,
but let it defrost at room temperature. This
gives a more even result. Fully remove all
metal or aluminium packaging before defrost-
ing.
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 tem-
perature.
• 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 appliance
only if their packaging is suitable for micro-
wave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions printed on the packaging (e.g. remove
the metal cover and pierce the plastic film).
