Thecolderthefood,thelongerthecookingtimeneedstobe.Foodatroom

temperature will therefore cook faster than food from a fridge or freezer.

When cooking vegetables, the cooking time depends on the freshness of the

vegetables.Therefore,checktheconditionofthevegetables,andaddordeducta

little time accordingly.

Theshortcookingtimewhenusingamicrowaveovenmeansthatthefooddoesnot

overcook.

• Lowpowerisprincipallyusedtodefrostfoodandpreparedishescontaining

cheese, milk or egg. (Whole eggs in their shell cannot be cooked in a microwave

General information on cooking

• Iftheentiremealistobecookedinthemicrowaveoven,itisrecommendedthat

youstartwiththemostcompactfoods,suchaspotatoes.Oncetheseareready,

cover them while the rest of the food cooks.

• Mostfoodshouldbecovered.Aclose-ttingcoverretainsthesteamand

moisture,whichshortensthecookingtimeinthemicrowaveoven.Thisis

particularlythecasewhencookingvegetables,shdishesandcasseroles.

Covering food also distributes the heat better, thus ensuring rapid and excellent

results.

• Inordertoachievethebestpossibleresults,itisimportanttopositionthefood

correctly, as the microwave rays are most powerful at the centre of the oven

compartment.If,forexample,youarebakingpotatoes,youshouldposition

them along the edge of the glass turntable so that they cook evenly.

• Inordertocookcompactdishessuchasmeatandpoultryevenly,itisimportant

to turn the pieces of meat a few times.

• Youcanbakeinamicrowaveoven,althoughnotwithrecipesthatincludeyeast.

• Whenpreparingfoodwithathickskin,e.g.potatoes,apples,wholesquashor

chestnuts, you should prick holes in the skin to prevent the food from bursting

during cooking.

• Whenpreparingfoodina“traditional”oven,younormallyavoidopeningthe

ovendoorasmuchaspossible.Thisisnotthecasewithmicrowaves:noenergy

orsignicantheatislost.Inotherwords,youcanopentheovendoorandlook

at the food as often as you want.

Important safety measures when preparing food

• Ifusingtheapparatustoheatbabyfoodorliquidsinafeedingbottle,youmust

alwaysstirthefood/liquidandcheckthetemperaturethoroughlybeforeserving.

Thisensuresthattheheatisevenlydistributedandavoidsscaldinginjuries.

Thelidand/orteatmustNOTbettedonafeedingbottlewhenitisplacedin

the oven.

• Ifsomefoodsareheatedtoolong,theymaycharandgiveoffsmoke.Ifthis

happens, you should leave the oven door closed and switch off the apparatus

completely.

• Somefoodswithlowwatercontent,e.g.chocolateinsquaresandpastrieswith

asweetlling,shouldbeheatedcarefully,otherwisetheyorthecontainermay

be ruined.

USING UTENSILS WHEN PREPARING FOOD

Beforestartingtopreparefoodincontainers,youshouldcheckthatthecontainers

you wish to use are made of a suitable material, as some types of plastic may

become limp and deform, while some types of ceramics may crack (particularly

whenheatingsmallquantitiesoffood).

In order to test if a container is suitable for use in a microwave oven:

• Placethecontainerintheapparatus.

• Atthesametime,placeahalf-fullglassofwaterinthecontainer.

• Starttheapparatus,andrunitfor15-30secondsonmaximumpower.

• Ifthecontainerbecomesveryhottothetouch,donotuseit.

Suitable utensils and materials

Whencookingfoodinamicrowaveoven,youshouldPREFERABLYusethe

following utensils and materials:

Glass and glass bowls

Stoneware (glazedandunglazed).Thefoodstayshotlongeringlazedstoneware

than in other dishes.

Plastic containers.Canbeusedformanyheatingpurposes.Caution!Plastic

containersmadefrommelamine,polyethyleneandphenolmustNOTbeused.

Porcelain.Allporcelaincanbeusedinapparatus,althoughreproofporcelainis

preferable.

Fireproof covered dishes.Glassdisheswithlidsthattsocloselythatsteam

cannotescapeareidealforvegetablesandfruittowhichnoliquidisadded

(however,thecookingtimemustnotexceed5minutes).

Browningdishes.Youmustbeverycarefulwhenusingthistypeofdish.Neverheat

thebrowningdishformorethan5minutesontheturntable.Suitableinsulation,

suchasaheat-testedplate,shouldbeplacedbetweenthebrowningdishandthe

turntable to prevent the turntable from overheating.

Microwaveroastinglmcanbeused,particularlyforsoups,sauces,steweddishes

or when defrosting food. Can also be used as a loose covering to prevent fat, etc.

from spraying out into the oven compartment.

Kitchen roll is ideal, as it absorbs moisture and fat. For example, bacon can

beplacedinlayers,withkitchenrollbetweeneachlayer.Thebaconwillthenbe

completelycrispy,asitdoesnotsitinitsownfat.Home-bakedbreadcanbetaken

directly from the freezer, wrapped in kitchen roll and heated in the microwave oven.

Wet kitchen rollcanbeusedforshorvegetables.Coveringthefoodpreventsit

from drying out.

Greaseproof paper Fish,largevegetables,suchascauliower,cornonthecob

and similar can be wrapped in wet greaseproof paper.

Roasting bagsareidealformeat,shandvegetables.However,theymustnever

be closed using metal clips. Cotton thread should be used instead. Prick the bag

with small holes, and place it in the appliance on a plate or glass dish.

Unsuitable utensils and materials

Whencookingfoodinamicrowaveoven,youmustNOTusethefollowingutensils

and materials:

Sealed glass jars/bottles with small openings, as they may explode.

General-purpose thermometers

Silverfoil/foiltrays,asthemicrowaverayscannotpenetratethematerialandthe

food will not cook.

Recycled paper, as it may contain small metal splinters that could cause sparks

and/orare.

Closed tins/containers with tightly sealed lids, as excess pressure may cause the

tin/containertoexplode.

Metal clips and lids/lm containing metallic threads since they can cause sparks

in the microwave oven and must therefore be removed.

Metal bowls/containers and packaging,unlesstheyaredesignedspecically

foruseinapparatus.Themicrowavesarereectedandcannotpenetratethefood

through the metal.

Plates, dishes and bowls/containers with metal, gold and silver decorations.

Theymaybreakand/orcausesparkstoformintheovencompartment.

CLEANING

When cleaning the appliance, you should pay attention to the following points:

• Turnofftheapplianceandremovetheplugfromthewallsocketbeforecleaning.

• Cleantheappliancebywipingitwithadampcloth.Alittledetergentcanbe

added if the appliance is heavily soiled.

• Donotusescouringpads,steelwooloranyformofstrongsolventsorabrasive

cleaning agents to clean the appliance, as they may damage the outside

surfaces of the appliance.

• Makesurethatnowatergetsintotheventholes.

• Thespindle,theturningringandtheooroftheappliancemustbecleaned

regularly so that the glass turntable can move freely.

• Beawarethatleavinggreasyresidueand/orspillsontheglassturntablecan

cause it to overheat and shatter.

• Theglassturntablecanbecleanedinadishwasher.

• IMPORTANT!Donotremovethemicaplate(3)fromtheinsideoftheoven!

• Tip:Whentheovenhasbeeninuseforsometime,theovencompartment

canbegintosmell.Ifthesmellisnotdispersedbyordinarycleaning,placea

fewlemonslicesinacupandcookthemintheapparatusatfullpowerfor2-3

minutes.Thiswilleffectivelydispersethesmell.

BEFORE GOING TO A REPAIR CENTRE

Iftheappliancewillnotstart:

• Checkthattheplugiscorrectlyinplaceinthewallsocket.Ifthatisnotthecase,

remove the plug, wait 10 seconds and then plug it in again.

• Checkwhetherafusehasblownorwhethertherelayhasbeenswitchedoff.Ifit

is not that, you can check that the socket itself is working by plugging in another

device.

• Checkthattheovendoorisclosedproperly.Ifthisisnotthecase,theautomatic

safety system via the lock dowels (2) ensures that the appliance cannot be

started.

• Checkwhetherthechildsafetylockisactivated(locksymbolappearson

display).Ifitis,deactivatethechildsafetylockbyholdingthe”Stop/Clear”

buttondownfor3seconds.

• Checkwhethertheappliancehasbeensetcorrectly,andwhetherthetimerhas

been activated.

Iftheappliancestilldoesnotwork,youshouldcontactarepairengineer.
