6.2 General information about
using the appliance
General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for some minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you pre-
pare the food.
Cooking:
• If possible, cook food covered with
material suitable for use in the micro-
wave. 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.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such
as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with
a fork several times before cooking so
that the food does not explode.
• 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 of the
cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-
sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porce-
lain, 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.
• The glass cooking tray is a work space
for heating food or liquids. It is neces-
sary for the operation of the micro-
wave.
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 defrost-
ing time. If possible, divide and then
remove the pieces that started to de-
frost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost the food in the ap-
pliance, but let it defrost at room tem-
perature. This gives a more even re-
sult. Fully remove all metal or alumini-
um packaging before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegeta-
bles, which are to be further prepared
while raw, in the appliance. Let them
defrost at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave pow-
er to cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first.
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 in-
structions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and
pierce the plastic film).
