Tables and tips
Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal
settings for them. We will show you which type of
heating and which temperature or microwave power
setting is best for your meal. You can find information
about suitable accessories and the height at which
they should be inserted. There are also tips about
cookware and preparation methods.
Notes
‒
The values in the table always apply to food
placed in the cooking compartment when it is
cold and empty. Only preheat the appliance if the
table specifies that you should do so. Before
using the appliance, remove all accessories from
the cooking compartment that you will not be
using.
‒
Do not line the accessories with greaseproof
paper until after they have been preheated.
‒
The times specified in the tables are only
guidelines. They will depend on the quality and
composition of the food.
‒
Use the accessories provided. Additional
accessories may be obtained as optional
accessories from specialist retailers or from
customer service.
‒
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
taking hot accessories or cookware out of the
cooking compartment.

WARNING
Risk of scalding
When pulling out the glass tray, hot liquid may
overflow. Carefully pull the glass tray out of the
cooking compartment.
The following tables provide you with numerous
options and settings for the microwave.
The times given in the tables are guidelines; they
depend on the cookware used, and the quality,
temperature and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the
shortest time first and then extend the time if
necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those
specified in the tables. There is a rule of thumb for
operating the microwave: Double the amount = double
the time, half the amount = half the time.
You can place the cookware in the middle of the wire
rack or on the cooking compartment floor. The food
will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Place the frozen food in an open container on the
oven floor.
Delicate parts such as chicken legs and wings or fatty
outer layers of roasts can be covered with small
pieces of aluminum foil. The foil may not touch the
walls of the appliance. You can remove the foil halfway
through the defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the
defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be
turned several times. When turning, remove any liquid
that has been produced during defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature
for an additional 10 to 60 minutes so that the
temperature can even out. You can remove the giblets
from poultry at this point.
Note:
Place the cookware on the cooking
compartment floor.

Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat
or poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning
meat and poultry, and under no circumstances,
use it for other purposes, or allow it to come
into contact with other foods.
