  • Clean the oven interior and accessories with a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaner or strong-smelling cleaning products.
  • First, place the guiding ring and then the turntable in the centre of the oven cavity with the opening for the drive shaft facing downwards.

Attention!
The microwave may not be used without the guiding ring and turntable.

Positioning

  • Place the microwave oven on a firm, flat surface.
  • Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation around the microwave oven. Keep at least a 30 cm space free at the top. At the sides, keep at least 20 cm free. The microwave needs to be at least 85 cm from the floor. The rear surface of appliance shall be placed against a wall.
  • Do not cover the air vents.

Using the microwave
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The energy makes it possible to cook or warm up a dish without affecting the form or colour.

Cooking principle

  • The microwaves which the microwave generates are spread evenly by a distribution system. This cooks the dish evenly.
  • The food absorbs the microwaves to a depth of approximately 2.5 cm. Cooking then continues, because the heat is spread in the dish.
  • The cooking times vary and depend on the dish you use and the properties of the food:
    • Quantity and density
    • Moisture content
    • Starting temperature (whether or not it is cooled)

Attention!
The dish is cooked from the inside out by means of heat distribution. The cooking continues even when you take the dish from the oven. Standing times in recipes and in this book should therefore be adhered to, in order to ensure

  • Even heating into the middle of the dish;
  • Equal temperatures in all parts of the dish.

Guidelines for microwave cookware
Cookware that you use for the microwave function should not block the microwaves. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper reflect microwaves. For that reason, do not use metal cookware. Cookware which is designated as microwave-safe can be used safely. For more information about suitable cookware, consult the following guidelines.

Recommended
Careful
Unsafe

Cookware| Microwave

safe

| Remarks
---|---|---
Aluminium foil| | Can be used in small quantities to prevent certain parts of the food from overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used.
Porcelain and earthenware| | Porcelain, earthenware, glazed earthenware and ivory porcelain are usually suitable, unless

they have a metal edge.

Disposable crockery made from polyester or cardboard| | Frozen meals are sometimes packaged in disposable tableware.
Fast food packaging

  • Polystyrene cups
  • Paper bags or newspaper
  • Recycled paper or metal edges

Plastic| | Especially heat-resistant thermoplastic material. Other types of plastic can warp or discoloured at high temperatures. Do not use melamine plastic. Can be used to hold moisture. May not touch the food. Be careful when you remove the film; hot steam can escape. Only if boil-proof or ovenproof. Must not be airtight. If necessary, prick it with a fork.

Attention!

Attention!
Heating liquids in the microwave can result in delayed boiling. This means that the liquid may start to boil furiously after it is removed from the microwave, with the risk of scalding. You can offset the delayed boiling effect by placing a plastic or glass spoon in the liquid prior to heating it in the microwave.

Attention!
Take care with baby food:

  • Shake or stir the content of babies’ bottles or pots of baby food after heating.
  • Check the temperature of the food carefully prior to consumption to prevent scalding injuries.

Attention!
Cutlery and tableware may become hot after using the microwave.

Warming up and cooking

  • The microwave always heats with the same intensity. The more you place in the microwave, the longer the cooking time.
  • Flat, level dishes heat up more quickly than narrow, tall dishes.
  • Covering dishes with microwave film or a fitting lid prevents spattering, reduces cooking time and helps retain moisture levels. After cooking remove the foil or lid carefully. Please note! The steam released can be extremely hot!
  • Dishes that dry out quickly can be moistened. Place potatoes and vegetables in cold water briefly before you place them in the microwave. This prevents a skin forming.
  • For an even result it is best to stir or turn a dish a few times.
  • For warming up dishes which have already been cooked, always use the highest microwave setting.
  • You don’t need much water, salt or herbs for the cooking. Salt is best added after cooking. This prevents moisture from being withdrawn from the food.
  • After the microwave is switched off, the dish continues cooking for a short time. Take this into account and don’t heat up the dish for too long.

Please note!

When heating small quantities of powder-forming products (such as when drying herbs), always place a small cup of water in the microwave. Self-combustion is possible if small quantities are heated.

Defrosting

  • Always use the defrost programme to defrost large compact items. Because the dish is defrosted gradually and evenly, you don’t run the risk that the outside dries out while the core is still frozen.
  • To accelerate the defrosting process, it is advised to separate the item into sections after a certain amount of time.
  • For large pieces of meat and compact dishes, have two breaks in the process.
  • When defrosting an irregularly-formed dish you can cover thin areas halfway through the defrosting process or wrap them with aluminium foil.

Factors that influence the cooking process

  • The temperature of the ingredients influences the preparation time. A cold meal needs more cooking time than a meal at room temperature.
  • Lighter dishes cook faster than heavier and solid dishes, such as stews or rolled meats. Take care in preparing light, porous dishes. The edges will quickly become dry and tough.
  • Smaller dishes are warmed more evenly if you place them in the microwave separate from each other, preferably in a circle.
  • Bones and fat conduct heat better than meat. Aluminium foil blocks the microwaves. By covering thinner areas of dishes (such as chicken legs and wings) you prevent them from cooking too quickly.
  • Grease-proof paper prevents spattering and helps retain the heat.

Basic techniques

  • Placement
    Place thicker pieces on the outside of the turntable. Dishes placed on the outside of the turntable receive the most microwaves.

  • Stirring
    Stirring dishes regularly distributes the stored heat. Always stir from the outside in, since the outside of the dish always heats up first.

  • Turning over
    Large, thick dishes should be turned over regularly. They then cook more evenly and quickly.

  • Pricking
    Food with a skin or shell bursts open in the microwave, such as egg yolks, seafood and fruit. Prevent this by pricking it before cooking a few times with a fork or satay stick.

  • Checking
    Dishes cook quickly. That’s why you should check them regularly. Take them out of the microwave just before they’re ready.

  • Continued cooking
    In general, allow dishes to stand covered for 3 to 10 minutes after removing them from the microwave. The dishes continue to cook. Don’t cover dishes with a dry crust, such as cake.

  • Freezing
    When freezing food you should take defrosting in the microwave into account, by not using aluminium foil or trays and by freezing in flat portions.

Cooking vegetables

  • If possible, always use fresh vegetables. If vegetables have become a little limp because they’ve been left for too long, you can place them in cold water for a while so that they absorb moisture.
  • Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so that the layer covering the dish base is not too thick.
  • Do not add any more water to vegetables than that remaining after rinsing.
  • Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave film.
  • Do not add salt. The salts present naturally in the vegetables should give sufficient flavour. If you still wish to add salt, you can do this after cooking.
  • Cook vegetables for the shortest time possible. Take into account the fact that the vegetables will continue to cook.
  • Check with a satay stick or fork whether the vegetables are ready.

Cooking fish
Fish needs to cook evenly. For thin fish, oily fish or small portions set the power low (about 30%). In other cases you can set the power somewhat higher. Take continued cooking into account. Fish is ready when it becomes opaque.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the appliance
Clean the appliance regularly to prevent fat and food particles from accumulating, especially on the surfaces of the interior and the exterior, the door and the seal.

  • Clean the interior and outer casing regularly; use some washing-up liquid and water and dry the oven well with a dry cloth.
  • Ensure that the cover of the microwave distributor (right of the oven cavity) is clean. Dirt in the cover can lead to spark formation.
  • Clean the interior immediately after use. Remove condensation, boiled over liquid and food remnants with a damp cloth. Remnants of crumbs and moisture absorb microwaves and increase cooking time.
  • Clean the accessories regularly; use some washing-up liquid and water with a brush and dry the accessories well with a dry cloth. The accessories are also dishwasher-safe.
  • Smells will disappear if you place a glass of vinegar or water with lemon in the oven cavity. Switch the microwave on at full power for two minutes. Then rub down with a damp cloth.

Attention!

  • Make sure that no water enters the vents.
  • NEVER use abrasive cleaning materials or chemical solvents.
  • DO NOT USE any abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean the glass door. This will scratch the surface which may cause the glass to break.
  • DO NOT USE high pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean the microwave.
  • If the seal of the microwave is very dirty, the door won’t close properly. The front of adjacent furniture can become damaged. Keep the seal clean.

FAULTS

Solving problems
