5. Press the INSTANT / START button to start. The cooking time de-
pends on the quantity and consistency of the contents. With a little
practice, you will quickly learn to estimate the cooking time.
- Each additional press of the INSTANT / START button extends the
operating time.
• Up to 5 minutes by 10 seconds.
• From 5 minutes to 10 minutes by 30 seconds.
• From 10 minutes by 60 seconds.
- After starting, the operating time can also be increased or de-
creased with the rotary knob.
- Cooking in the microwave oven is much faster than in the oven. If
you are not sure, set the cooking time low and repeat the cooking
process if necessary.
- Please note: When using the appliance in microwave mode only,
place a cover over the food.
Interrupting or Cancelling the Cooking Process
• If you want to interrupt the cooking process, press the
STOP / CANCEL button once or simply open the door.
• If you want to continue cooking, close the door and press the
INSTANT / START button again.
• To cancel the process completely, press the STOP / CANCEL
button twice. This will reset all settings.
Quick Start
Do you want to heat food or a drink briefly at maximum microwave
power?
Start the microwave by pressing the INSTANT / START button
directly. The cooking process starts immediately, with each further
press of the button extending the cooking time by 10, 30 or 60 sec-
onds (see chapter "Operating the Microwave Oven").
The power of the microwave is 100 %.
Heating
Warming and heating is a particular strength of the microwave.
Refrigerator-cold liquids and food can easily be brought to room or
eating temperature without having to use a lot of pots and pans.
The heating times given in the following table are only guidelines,
as the time depends very much on the initial temperature and the
composition of the food. It is therefore advisable to check from time to
time whether the dish is hot enough.

Cooking
Practical Tips for Cooking
Follow the guide values in the cooking table and recipes. Keep an
eye on the cooking process until you have had a lot of practice.
You can open the appliance door at any time. The appliance switches
off automatically.
It will not work again until the door is closed and the INSTANT / START
button has been pressed again.
Food from the refrigerator requires a slightly longer cooking time than
food at room temperature.
The more compact a dish is, the longer the cooking time. For exam-
ple, a larger piece of meat will take longer to cook than cut meat of
