Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. The microwave can be used
solo, i.e. on its own, or in combination with a different type of heating. You
will find information about ovenware and how to set the microwave.
In the Expert Cooking Guide, you will find examples for defrosting, heating
and cooking with the microwave oven.
The step quantities for the adjustment time of the coding switch are as
follow: 0-1 min: 1 second 1-5 min: 10 seconds 5-15 min: 30 seconds 15-60 min:
1 minute 60 min: 5 minutes
Ovenware test
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following
ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable
for use in the microwave:
1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to 1 minute.
2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.
Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass, glass ceramic,
porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic. These materials allow microwaves
to pass through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from
one dish to another. You should only use ovenware with decorative gold or
silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in
microwaves.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through.
Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.

4 Expert Cooking Guide
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We
will show you which type of heating and which temperature or microwave power
setting is best for your meal.
You can find information about suitable accessories and the height at which
they should be inserted. There are also tips about ovenware and preparation
methods.
· The values in the table always apply to food placed into the cooking
compartment when it is cold and empty. Only preheat the appliance if the table
specifies that you should do so. Before using the appliance, remove all
accessories from the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
· Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after they have
been preheated.
· The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They will depend on
the quality and composition of the food.
· Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be obtained from
specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.
· Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or ovenware
out of the cooking compartment.
4.1 Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and settings for the
microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may vary according
to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time first and
then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in the
tables. A rule of thumb can be applied: Double amount – just under double the
cooking time, half amount – half the cooking time.
Defrosting
· Place the frozen food in an open container on the lower wire rack.
· Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers
of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must
not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove the foil half way
through the defrosting time.
· Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time. Large pieces
of food should be turned several times. When turning, remove any liquid that
has resulted from defrosting.
· Place the food directly on the turntable.
88
EN
Use
· Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

4.2 Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
· Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and
evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not
require the same amount of time to heat up.
· Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is piled high.
You should therefore distribute the food so that it is as flat as possible in
the ovenware. Different foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of
one another.
· Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your
ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
· Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
· After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that
it can achieve an even temperature.
· Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.
· This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will require
less seasoning.

4.3 Heating food
Improper use Risk of scalding
Use
· There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
· This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual
steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only moves a
little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating
liquids, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed
boiling.
Creation of sparks
· Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven
walls and the inside of the door.
· Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of the door.
· Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and
evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not
require the same amount of time to heat up.
· Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your
container, use a plate or special microwave foil.
· Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time. Check the
temperature.
· After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that
it can achieve an even temperature.
· Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.
· Place the food directly on the turntable.

4.6 Microwave tips
You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of food
you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked. When the
time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the edge but not done in the
middle. After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but
not efrosted in the middle.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of thumb: Double
the amount = almost double the cooking time Half the amount = half the cooking
time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power
setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require
longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it several times.
4.7 Cakes and pastries
About the tables
· The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
· The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency and amount of the
mixture. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with
the lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time,
since a lower temperature results in more even browning.
· Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section following the
tables.
· Always place the cake tin in the centre of the lower wire rack. But the food
with ** should be placed in the turntable.

Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, poke the cake with a cocktail stick at its highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses.
Use less liquid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower and extend the baking time. Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking,
lower around the edge.
loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The cake is too dark.
Select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
The cake is too dry.
When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a toothpick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher and reduce the baking time.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky, streaked with water).
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. When baking cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first, cover with almonds or bread crumbs and then add the topping. Please follow the recipe and follow the baking times.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.
After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5 to 10 minutes, then it will be easier to turn out of the tin. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin well and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.

Use
You have measured the temperature of the oven using your own meat thermometer and found there is a discrepancy.
The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer after a specified period of time using a test rack in the centre of the cooking compartment. Ovenware and accessories affect the temperature measurement, so there will always be some discrepancy when you measure the temperature yourself.
Sparks are generated between the tin and the wire rack.
Check that the tin is clean on the outside. Change the position of the tin in the cooking compartment. If this does not help, continue baking but without the microwave. The baking time will then be longer.
4.9 Roasting and grilling
About the tables
The temperature and roasting time depend on the type and amount of food being
cooked. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the
lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. For
more information, see the section entitled “Tips for grilling” and “Tips for
roasting” which follows the tables.
Ovenware
You may use any heatresistant ovenware which is suitable for use in a
microwave. Metal roasting dishes are not suitable for roasting with
microwaves. The ovenware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take the
ovenware out of the oven. Place hot glass ovenware on a dry kitchen towel
after they have been removed from the oven. The glass could crack if placed on
a cold or wet surface.
Tips for roasting
· Use a deep roasting dish for roasting meat and poultry.
· Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. Itshould not be
too big.
· Meat:
Cover approx. two thirds of the ovenware base with liquid. Add slightly more
liquid for pot roasts. Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.
When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an
additional 10 minutes. This
allows better distribution of the meat juices.
· Poultry:
Turn the pieces of meat after 2/3 of the cooking time has
elapsed.
100
EN
Use
Tips for grilling
· Always keep the oven door closed when grilling and do not preheat.
· As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be of equal
thickness. Steaks should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick.
· This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Do not
add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.
· Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you pierce the
meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.
· Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lighter coloured meat such as
veal or pork. When grilling lightcoloured meat or fish, these often only brown
slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.
· The grill element switches off and on again automatically. This is normal.
The grill setting determines how frequently this will happen.
Beef
· Turn pot-roasted beef after 1/3 and 2/3 of the cooking time.
Finally, allow to stand for approx. a further 10 minutes. · Turn tenderloins
and sirloins halfway through the cooking time. Finally, allow to stand for
approx. a further 10 minutes.
· Turn steaks after 2/3 of the cooking time.

4.10 Tips for roasting and grilling
The table does not contain information for the weight of the joint.
For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
How to tell when the roast is ready.
Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon
test”.
Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the
spoon can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
The roast is not well-done enough.
Carve the roast. Prepare the gravy in the roasting dish and place the slices of roast meat in the gravy. Finish cooking the meat using the microwave only.

Cleaning and maintenance
5 Cleaning and maintenance
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain its looks and
remain good order. We will explain here how you should care for and clean your
appliance correctly.
Risk of electric shock! Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do
not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Risk of burns! Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.
Risk of serious damage to health! Microwave energy may escape if the cooking
compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Never use the appliance if the
cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Contact the aftersales
service.
· Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the
use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
· Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are caused by reflections
made by the oven light.
· Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be removed very
easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place a spoon into
the container as well, to prevent delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2
minutes at maximum microwave power.
5.1 Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong
cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Do not use:
· sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
· metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance door.
· metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
· hard scouring pads and sponges,
· cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.

5.3 Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Which foods are affected? Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products that are heated to high
temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
General
Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking biscuits Oven chips
Max. 200 °C in Top/bottom heating or max. 180 °C in 3D hot air or hot air
mode. Max.
190° C in Top/bottom heating or max. 170 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode. Egg
white and egg yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide. Distribute thinly and
evenly over the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so
that the chips do not dry out.
