Tips for combined operation
If you are preparing food in combined microwave/grill mode, please
note the following:
For large, thick food, such as roast pork, the microwave time is cor-
respondingly longer than for small, flat food. However, the opposite
is true for grilled food. The closer the food is to the grill, the
quicker it will brown. This means that if you prepare large roasts in
combi mode, the grilling time may be shorter than for smaller roasts.
Automatic Programmes
With the automatic programme, you can have certain quantities of
food cooked automatically. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the control knob clockwise and select the desired automatic
programme. Please refer to the table below for the possible set-
tings.
2. Once you have selected the automatic programme, press the
INSTANT / START button. Now set the weight with the rotary knob.
3. Press the INSTANT / START button to start the programme.

Potato strips
(French fries)
- Cut the potatoes into thin strips beforehand.
- Add approx. 2 – 3 tablespoons of water.
Potatoes
- Cut the potatoes into small pieces beforehand.
- Add approx. 2 – 3 tablespoons of water.
Fish
- Suitable for steaming fish.
- After washing the fish and removing the scales, cut into the
skin. Place the fish in a shallow dish with a diameter of 22 cm.
Sprinkle lightly with a few ingredients and cover the bowl with a
thin layer of plastic film to prevent water loss. Leave to rest for
2 minutes after cooking.
Defrosting
- The power of the microwave is 40 % (460 W) when defrosting.
- As the microwaves always penetrate the food from the outside in,
larger pieces cannot be defrosted to the centre. The outer layers
could already be cooked.
- Turn food such as meat, sausage and bread once after about
half the defrosting time. Close the door and press the INSTANT /
START button to continue.
- After the defrosting programme, an equalisation time must be
scheduled. This is a standing time during which the temperature is
equalised by heat conduction from the outside (defrosted) to the
inside (frozen). During the equalisation time, you can leave the
food in the appliance switched off or outside the appliance. The
equalisation time is at least as long as the defrosting time in the
microwave. It depends on the nature of the food.
- You can shorten the equalisation time by, for example, cutting
small pieces of meat apart after the defrosting time or crumbling
the remaining ice core of minced meat. For sliced bread or cold
cuts, separate the slices during the equalisation time.
- Defrost the fruit in a bowl with a lid. After about half the defrosting
time, carefully stir the fruit once.
- Cakes or tarts with a chocolate coating are not suitable for defrost-
ing in the microwave.
- Defrosted food should be eaten as soon as possible, it is not ad-
visable to put it back in the fridge and freeze it again.
There are two options for defrosting frozen food:
• Select
with the MICRO POWER button. Set the desired
defrosting time with the rotary knob.
• To use the defrosting programme, proceed as follows:
1. Determine the weight of the food.
2. Remove the food from its packaging. If it is difficult to remove
from the packaging, defrost it for 30 seconds at maximum mi-
crowave power (see 'Quick Start').
