Operating the Microwave

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 STOP/CANCEL button.
4. Press the POWER LEVEL once/repeatedly to select the desired
microwave power.

5. Use the dial control to select a cooking time between 10 seconds
and 95 minutes.
6. Press the START button. The cooking time depends on the quantity
and constituency of the contents of the oven. With a little practice
you will soon learn to estimate the cooking time.
NOTE:
• When in standby mode, turn the knob anticlockwise to directly
select "P-HI" program. You may continue with step 5.
• 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.
Please note: A cover should be placed over the food when oper-
•
ating the microwave.
Pause or Cancel Cooking
• To pause cooking, press STOP/CANCEL button once or open the
door.
• To continue cooking, close the door and press START again.
• In order to fully stop the cooking process, press the STOP/CANCEL
button twice, thereby resetting all program settings.

Quick Start

Use this function to quick-start cooking with a microwave power of 100%
and for a maximum period of 10 minutes.
Press the START button quickly and repeatedly until you have set the
desired cooking time. The appliance starts automatically.

Heating

Warming and heating are special characteristics of microwaves. Re-
frigerated liquids and foods can be easily warmed up to room or eating
temperature without having to use a lot of pots.
The heating times in the following table are for reference only, as the
time depends very much on the original temperature and the texture of
the food. It is therefore recommended to check once in a while whether
the food is hot enough.

Hands-on cooking tips
Follow the guidelines given in the cooking table and recipe. Monitor the
cooking process if you do not yet have as much experience.
You may open the door of the device at any time. The device will turn off
automatically.
It will only continue operation when the door is closed and the START
button pressed again.
Refrigerated food needs a longer cooking time than that with room
temperature.
The chunkier the food, the longer the cooking time. Meat cut in bigger
pieces, for example, requires longer cooking than meat of the same
quantity cut into strips. It is recommended cooking larger amounts of
food at maximum power and having it simmer at medium power for a
more evenly cooking.
Lower foodstuffs cook faster than higher ones; therefore distribute the
food as low as possible. Place thinner parts such as chicken legs or fish
filets in the center or leave them overlapping.
