Information about operation

General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let the

food stand for some minutes. Refer to the

microwave cooking tables: standing time.

• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal

containers, etc. before you prepare the food.

Cooking:
• If possible, cook food covered with material

suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook

food without a cover if you want to keep a

crust.

• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the

power and time too high. The food can dry

out, burn or catch fire in some places.

• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs in

their shells and snails, because they can

burst. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.

• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as

potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork

several times before cooking so that the

food does not burst.

• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer

cooking time.

• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred

from time to time.

• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such

as carrots, peas or cauliflower, must be

cooked in water.

• Turn larger pieces after half the cooking

time.

• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized

pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

• Do not use cookware made of porcelain,

ceramic or earthenware with small holes, e.

g. on handles or unglazed bottoms. Moisture

going into the holes can cause the cookware

to crack when it is heated.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small

upturned plate with a container below it, or

on a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that

the defrosting liquid can run off.
