■
After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
■
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
plates from the oven.
Microwave tips
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the door window, interior walls
and floor. This is normal. This does not affect how the
microwave operates. Wipe away the condensation after
cooking.
Tips for grilling
Notes
■
All the values given are guidelines and can vary depending
on the properties of your food.
■
Always grill on the wire rack with the cooking compartment
door closed and do not preheat.
■
Always place the wire rack on the turntable.
Combined grill and microwave
Notes
■
The combined operation is particularly suitable for cooking
bakes and gratins.
■
Always place the dish on the turntable and do not cover the
food.
■
Use a high-sided dish for roasting. This keeps the cooking
compartment cleaner.
■
Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes
longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more
on top.
■
Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It
must not be too large, as the turntable must still be able to
turn.
■
Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the food after
the shorter time specified.
■
Leave the meat to rest for another 5 to 10 minutes before
cutting it. This allows the meat juices to be distributed evenly
so that they do not run out when the meat is cut.
■
Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the appliance for
a further 5 minutes after the appliance has been switched off.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
The food has become too dry.
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the out-
side but not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
