Follow these tips for good results when defrosting,
heating and cooking with the microwave.
Issue
Tip
Your food is too dry.
¡
Reduce the cooking
time or select a lower
microwave power set-
ting.
¡
Cover the food and
add more liquid.
Issue
Tip
The time has elapsed but
the food is not defrosted,
hot or cooked.
Increase the cooking
time. Large quantities and
food which is piled high
require longer times.
The time has elapsed but
your food is not yet done
on the inside, but is
already overdone on the
outside.
¡
Stir while cooking.
¡
Reduce the microwave
power setting and in-
crease the cooking
time.
After defrosting, the
poultry or meat is defros-
ted on the outside but not
defrosted in the middle.
¡
Reduce the microwave
power setting.
¡
Turn large pieces of
frozen food several
times.
18.3 Heating
With your appliance you can heat food.
Heating food in the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the mi-
crowave to heat 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.
Note:
Cooking tips
¡
Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can
also use a plate or microwave film to cover the dish.
Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡
Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking
compartment.
¡
Turn or stir the food two or three times during the
defrosting time.
¡
After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 2–
5ºminutes.
¡
The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
