Note: In the Expert Cooking Guide, you will find examples for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave oven.
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.
Caution! 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.
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.

Ovenware
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g. a china or glass plate, but do not cover.
When defrosting chicken and chicken portions (d 01), an audible signal will sound on two occasions to indicate that the food should be turned.
Resting time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat and items made from minced meat should be separated from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

Care and cleaning

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 after-sales service.
Notes 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.

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).

General
Baking biscuits Oven chips

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
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.
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 ma x. 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.

Energy and environment tips

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.

For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance complies with European Directive 2002/ 96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is valid across the EU.

Cooking tip / Procedure
A dark or dull baking sheet will result in a browner, crisper crust.
For a tender, light golden brown crust, use light, shiny metal bakeware. A dark or dull baking sheet will result in a browner, crisper crust. Use a square baking pan.
Ideal for ready-made mixes. Prepare according to package directions.
Use with fresh or frozen dinner rolls. A dark or dull baking pie pan will result in a browner,
crisper crust. Ideal for ready-made mixes. Prepare according
to package directions. Use dark or dull metal pan. Stir once.
Best for individual shortcakes. Use dark coated pan.

Cooking eggs in your microwave
Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hardcooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.
Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.

Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

Heating food
Risk of scalding!
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.

Cleaning and Maintenance

9 WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.
Cleaning Guide
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build­up. Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out

with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
Never operate the microwave oven without food in the oven cavity, unless pre- heating with Convection, Pizza, Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Part Oven cavity
Wire rack Metal turntable tray Ceramic tray Door seal

Recommendations
Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked­on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soapfilled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the dishwasher.
Remove metal turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.
Wash the metal turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Clean with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Wipe with damp cloth.

24

Part Door glass
Painted surfaces
Stainless steel surfaces/exterior surfaces
Plastic & Controls Printed areas (words & numbers)

Recommendations
Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or Formula 409® spray on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar.
When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum based solvents.
