6.1 General information about using
the appliance
• After you deactivate the appliance, let the
food stand for some minutes.
• 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 it crusty
• 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 or
snails in their shells, because they can
explode. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks
first.
• Pierce skin or peel of potatoes, tomatoes,
sausages and similar types of food 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 of food after half of 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 unglazed
bottoms or small holes for example on
handles. Moisture going into the holes can
cause the cookware to crack when it is
heated.
• The glass cooking tray is necessary for
the operation of the microwave. Place the
food or liquids on it.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it so
that the defrosting liquid collects in the
container.
• Turn the food after half of the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then remove
the pieces that started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark
• Do not fully defrost the food in the
appliance, but let it defrost at room
temperature. It gives a more even result.
Remove all metal or aluminium packaging
before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• If fruit and vegetables should remain raw,
do not defrost them fully in the appliance.
Let them defrost at room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first use a higher
microwave power.
Ready meals
• You can prepare ready meals in the
appliance only if their packaging is
suitable for microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging (e.g.
remove the metal cover and pierce the
plastic film).
