Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal
settings for them. We will inform 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 ovenware and preparation methods.
NOTES
• The values in the table always apply to food
placed into 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 supplied. Additional
accessories may be obtained from specialist
retailers or from customer service.
• Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
taking accessories or ovenware out of the
cooking compartment.
DEFROSTING, HEATING UP AND
COOKING WITH THE MICROWAVE
The following tables provide you with numerous
options and settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only
guidelines. They may vary according to the
ovenware used, 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. A rule of thumb can
be applied: Double amount - just under double the
cooking time, half amount - half the cooking time.
DEFROSTING
NOTES
• Place the frozen food in an open container on
the lower wire rack.
• Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of
chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be
covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The
foil must not touch the cooking compartment
walls. You can remove the foil half way 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 resulted from defrosting.
• Leave defrosted items to stand at room
temperature for a further 10 to 60 minutes so
that the temperature can stabilise. The giblets
can be removed from poultry at this point.
