DAILY USE

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT USING THE
APPLIANCE
• After you deactivate the appliance, let the food
stand for several minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal
containers, etc. before you prepare the food.
Cooking
• If possible, cook food covered with a material
suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook
food without a cover if you want to keep it crusty
• Do not overcook the dishes by choosing too
high a power setting and too long a time. 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 as they may explode. With fried
eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Pierce the skin or peel of potatoes, tomatoes,
sausages and similar types of food with a fork
several times before cooking so that the food
does not burst.
• 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 of food halfway through the
cooking process.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized
pieces.
Suitable cookware and materials
Cookware / Material
Ovenproof glass and porcelain with no met-
al components, e. g. Pyrex, heat-proof glass
Non-ovenproof glass and porcelain
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain,
ceramic or earthenware with unglazed bottoms
or small openings, for example, on handles.
Moisture may get into these openings causing
the cookware to crack when heated up.
• The glass cooking tray is necessary for the
operation of the microwave. Place the food or
liquids on it.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
• Put frozen, unwrapped food on a small angled
plate with a container below so that the
defrosting liquid collects in the container.
• Turn the food halfway through the defrosting
time. If possible, separate and then remove the
pieces that started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark
• Do not fully defrost the food in the appliance,
but let it defrost at room temperature. It gives a
more even result. Remove all metal or aluminium
packaging before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• If fruit and vegetables should remain raw, do not
defrost them fully in the appliance. Let them
defrost at room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting
them first use a higher microwave power.
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 instructions
printed on the packaging (e.g. remove the metal
cover and pierce the plastic film).
