Using the Device

What you should know about microwave operation
• Your device works with microwave radiation, which heats up
water particles in food in a very short time. There is no heat
radiation and therefore hardly any browning.
• Only food should be heated up with this device.
• The device is not suitable for baking in fl oating fat.
• Only 1-2 portions should be heated up at the same time.
Otherwise the microwave will become less effi cient.
• Microwaves provide their full energy levels immediately. Pre-
heating is therefore not necessary.
• Never operate the microwave function when the oven is
empty.
• The microwave oven does not replace your traditional
cooker. It is used mainly for:
• defrosting deep-frozen food
• rapid warming/heating of food or drinks
• cooking meals
1. Place the food to be heated in a suitable piece of tableware.
2. Open the door and place the vessel in the middle of the
glass plate. Then close the door. (For safety reasons the
oven only operates when the door is tightly closed.)
3. Press the MICRO./GRILL/COMBI. button once. Then use
the rotary button to select the desired power level (P10 to
P100).

4. Press the MICRO./GRILL/COMBI. button to confi rm your
settings.
5. Use the turning knob to set the desired cooking time be-
tween 5 seconds and 95 minutes.
6. Press the QUICK START/START button to start operation.
The cooking time depends on the quantity and texture of
the food. After a few times trying you will quickly learn to
estimate the cooking time.
NOTE:
Preparation of food in a microwave oven is very much faster
than in a conventional cooker. Set the cooking time to a
low level if you are not sure and continue cooking again if
necessary.
After the cooking time has elapsed the device will turn off and
5 signal tones will sound. Take the food from the device.
Pause or stop cooking
• If you wish to pause the cooking operation, press the CAN-
CEL/STOP button once and open the door.

Warming

The warming and heating of food is a particular strength of the
microwave. Liquids and foods that are in the refrigerator can be
easily brought up to room temperature or the right temperature
for consumption without the need for many pots.
The heating times contained in the following table are only rough
guides as the time depends very much on the starting tempera-
ture and the composition of the food. You are therefore advised to
check from time to time whether the dish is already hot enough.
