Microwave utensil guide
Suitable ovenware
Heat-resistant glass, glass ceramic and earthenware: Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex®, Anchor HockingTM, Corning Ware®, Emile Henry, etc.).
China: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
Plastic films and wraps: Plastic wrap (as a cover) – lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.
Microwave-safe plastics: Microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
Paper products: Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal utensils and cookware: Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your appliance.
Metal decoration: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.

Aluminum foil: Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the side walls of the appliance cavity and door of the microwave.
Wood: Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.
Tightly covered cookware: Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.
Brown paper: Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
Flawed or chipped cooking utensils: Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the appliance.
Metal twist ties: Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.
Ovenware test
Do not turn 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.

Suggestions for best results To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave, read the following suggestions below:
Storage temperature Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook.
Size Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
Stirring Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. (Constant stirring is not necessary.)
Turning Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Placing food Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Arranging food Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
Letting food stand After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.
Wrapping foods Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

Adding cook time (+30 Seconds)
This time-saving feature will let you quickly add 30 seconds to any cook time. +30 Seconds will also start the microwave with 30 seconds at 100% power level. Each time you touch the +30 Seconds key, 30 seconds will be added to the cook time.

Defrosting suggestions for meat For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meat.

9 WARNING
HEALTH RISK Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
Always enter the weight in lb when using the defrost by weight feature (see program table).
Use the defrost mode for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed
is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food. If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight. The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food. Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better. Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil, if they start to heat up. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the appliance cavity when defrosting.

Suggestions
After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes. After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand covered for about 5 to 10 minutes.

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.

20

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.

Cooking seafood in your microwave
Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides

less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch”) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you (“Product”), provided that the Product was purchased:
· For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.
· New at retail from a BSH authorized dealer or directly from BSH (not a display, “as is”, or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
· Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty.
Please make sure to register your Product; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original delivery. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original delivery, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to

repair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts.

ATENCION

contacto con piezas eléctricas, lo que supondría un riesgo de descarga eléctrica. Cuando no se utilice el aparato, no almacenar en él ningún objeto aparte de los accesorios recomendados por el fabricante. No cubrir las rejillas ni ninguna otra parte del aparato con papel de aluminio. Esto causará el sobrecalentamiento del aparato. No utilice productos de papel cuando el aparato funciona en el modo tostadora.

Para evitar lesiones personales o daños materiales, debe tenerse en cuenta lo siguiente:
Supervisar el aparato en todo momento durante su uso.
No colocar material inflamable al lado del aparato en su interior.
Al flambear alimentos debajo del microondas, encender siempre el ventilador.
No poner en marcha el aparato si está vacío. Esto podría dañar el aparato y conllevaría un riesgo de incendio.
No almacenar ni utilizar productos químicos corrosivos, vapores, materiales inflamables o productos no alimentarios cerca o dentro del aparato. Está especialmente diseñado para utilizarse mientras se calienta o cocina la comida. El uso de productos químicos corrosivos para el calentamiento o la limpieza provocará daños en el aparato y podría causar lesiones personales.
No secar ropa, papel u otros materiales en el aparato. No utilizar papel periódico ni bolsas de papel para cocinar. Podría generarse un incendio.
No utilizar productos de papel reciclado a menos que se hayan aprobado para su uso con microondas. Podrían contener impurezas que podrían generar chispas y provocar incendios.

alimentación eléctrica desde el panel de fusibles o el disyuntor.
Liquidos
Los líquidos, como el agua, el café o el té, podrían calentarse excesivamente. Pueden calentarse hasta pasar el punto de ebullición, sin que parezca que están hirviendo. Por ejemplo, no siempre se observan burbujas ni borbotones al retirar el recipiente del microondas. ESTO PUEDE HACER QUE LOS LÍQUIDOS MUY CALIENTES HIERVAN Y SE DESBORDEN REPENTINAMENTE AL MOVER EL RECIPIENTE O AL COLOCAR UN UTENSILIO DENTRO DEL LÍQUIDO. Al calentar líquidos, colocar siempre la cuchara/varilla de vidrio en el recipiente. Esto evitará que la ebullición se retrase.

32 CONSERVE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES.

9 INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES
LEER TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES ANTES DE UTILIZAR EL APARATO

ATENCION
El metal, por ejemplo, una cuchara en un vaso, se debe mantener alejado por lo menos 1 pulgada (25 mm) de las paredes del aparato y del interior de la puerta. Las chispas podrían dañan irreparablemente el cristal en el interior de la puerta.
Sacar las comidas preparadas de su empaque. Estas se calentarán más rápidamente y de manera más uniforme en recipientes para microondas. Los diferentes ingredientes de la comida pueden no requerir la misma cantidad de tiempo para calentarse.
Tapar siempre la comida. Si no se tiene una tapa adecuada para el recipiente, usar un plato o papel especial para microondas.
Revolver o voltear varias veces la comida durante la cocción. Verificar la temperatura.
Después de calentar, permitir que la comida repose de 2 a 5 minutos de manera que alcance una temperatura uniforme.
Utilizar siempre un trapo de cocina o guantes para horno al sacar los platos del aparato.
Artículos de cocina
Huevos: No cocine ni recaliente huevos enteros, con o sin cáscara. La acumulación de vapor en los huevos enteros puede hacer que exploten y, posiblemente, dañen el aparato o provoquen una lesión. Recalentar huevos duros rebanados y cocinar huevos revueltos es seguro. Palomitas de maíz: Use solo palomitas de maíz en envases diseñados y etiquetados para uso en microondas, o prepárelas en un recipiente para palomitas de maíz apto para microondas. Siga las indicaciones de los fabricantes de palomitas de maíz y use una marca apta para el vataje de su aparato. No siga calentando después de que las palomitas de maíz hayan terminado de reventar. Las palomitas de maíz se chamuscarán o quemarán. No deje el aparato sin supervisión.
ATENCION
Al usar palomitas de maíz preenvasadas para microondas, verifique el peso del envase antes de usar la función para palomitas de maíz. Programe el aparato para el peso indicado en el envase de palomitas de maíz. Si no se siguen estas instrucciones, es posible que las palomitas de maíz no revienten correctamente, o que se prendan fuego y provoquen un incendio.
Alimentos con piel no porosa: entre los ejemplos de alimentos con piel no porosa se encuentran papas, tomates, camotes, calabazas enteras y salchichas. Estos tipos de alimentos deben pincharse antes de la cocción para evitar que exploten.

Alimento para bebés/Fórmula para bebés: no caliente biberones ni alimentos en el microondas. El recipiente de vidrio o la superficie de los alimentos pueden parecer tibios, mientras que el interior puede quemar la boca y el esófago del niño. Alimentos fritos con abundante aceite: no fría en abundante aceite en el microondas. En un aparato microondas, el aceite puede calentarse muy rápidamente y superar las temperaturas ideales. Las temperaturas pueden aumentar lo suficiente como para que los aceites para cocinar alcancen sus puntos de inflamación respectivos y se prendan fuego. El aceite caliente puede producir burbujas y salpicar, lo que puede causar posibles daños al aparato, y quizás, quemaduras. Además, es probable que los utensilios aptos para microondas no soporten la temperatura del aceite caliente, ya que se pueden romper, incluso si tienen una mínima imperfección, rayón o están descascarados. Enlatado casero/deshidratación de alimentos/ pequeñas cantidades de alimentos: No utilice el microondas para enlatados caseros ni para calentar ningún tarro cerrado. Esto hace que la presión se acumule, y es posible que explote el tarro. Además, el aparato no puede mantener los alimentos a la temperatura adecuada del enlatado. Los alimentos mal enlatados se pueden echar a perder, y consumirlos puede ser peligroso. Las pequeñas cantidades de alimentos o los alimentos con bajo contenido de humedad pueden secarse, quemarse o incendiarse. No deshidrate carnes, hierbas, frutas ni verduras en su aparato. Una cocción correcta depende de la programación del tiempo y del peso de los alimentos. Se puede producir un incendio si usa una porción más pequeña que la recomendada y la cocina durante el tiempo de la porción recomendada. Fuentes para dorar:.Las fuentes o parrillas para dorar en microondas están diseñadas para cocinar únicamente en microondas. Los tiempos de precalentamiento varían según el tamaño de la fuente para dorar y los alimentos que se van a cocinar. Siempre siga las instrucciones proporcionadas por el fabricante de la fuente o de la parrilla para dorar. No precaliente las fuentes para dorar más de 6 minutos.
Bolsas para asar en horno: Si se usa una bolsa para horno para la cocción en microondas, prepárela según las indicaciones del envase. No use cierres de alambre para cerrar las bolsas; en su lugar, use cierres de nailon, cordones de algodón o una tira cortada del extremo abierto de la bolsa. Haga seis cortes de ½ pulg. (12.7 mm) cerca del cierre. Coloque la bolsa para cocinar en horno en una fuente un poco más grande que los alimentos que se van a cocinar.

9 INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES
LEER TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES ANTES DE UTILIZAR EL APARATO

ADVERTENCIA
Al cocinar los alimentos, pueden liberarse pequeñas cantidades de ciertos subproductos, como partículas/ hollín. Para reducir la exposición a estas sustancias:
Asegurar siempre una ventilación adecuada
mediante el uso de un ventilador o campana extractora apropiados, con salida al exterior y/o una ventana abierta.
Utilizar la unidad siempre de forma acorde con las
instrucciones de este manual.

ADVERTENCIA
Los materiales calentados en exceso pueden causar incendios o quemaduras y pueden producir humo o vapores potencialmente nocivos.
Para evitar el calentamiento en exceso, encender la
campana extractora cuando se calienten grasas o se frían a fuego medio o alto.
Evitar calentar ollas y sartenes vacías. No deje hervir líquidos en recipientes hasta su
evaporación completa.
Es preciso evitar que materiales como el papel de
aluminio, el plástico, el papel o la tela entren en contacto con un elemento superficial de calentamiento, con una parrilla o con una rejilla.

Causas para los daños

AVISOS:
El metal –p. ej., una cuchara en una copa– debe mantenerse alejado, como mínimo, 1 pulg. (25 mm) de las paredes del aparato y del interior de la puerta. Las chispas podrían provocar daños irreparables en el cristal del interior de la puerta.
Agua en el interior del aparato caliente: Nunca vierta agua en el interior del aparato caliente. Se produce vapor. Se puede dañara el esmalte debido al cambio de temperatura.
No deje alimentos húmedos en un aparato cerrado por un período prolongado de tiempo. Puede conducir a la corrosión dentro del aparato.
El jugo de frutas puede dejar manchas en el aparato. Siempre retire inmediatamente, cuando se puedo tocar, el jugo de frutas y limpie primero con un trapo húmedo y luego con uno seco.
Enfriamiento con la puerta del equipo abierto: Solamente deje enfriar la cámara de cocción con la puerta cerrada. Incluso cuando la puerta del equipo está abierta solamente una pequeña rendija, con el tiempo los frentes de los muebles cercanos pueden resultar dañados.
Sello de la puerta muy sucio: si el sello de la puerta está muy sucio, la puerta ya no se cerrará correctamente durante el funcionamiento del equipo.

Los frentes de los muebles cercanos pueden dañarse. Mantenga siempre limpio el sello de la puerta. La puerta del equipo como asiento o superficie de almacenamiento: no pararse, sentarse o colgarse en la puerta del equipo. No coloque ningún recipiente o accesorios sobre la puerta. Inserción de accesorios: dependiendo del tipo de equipo, los accesorios pueden rayar el panel de la puerta al cerrarla. Siempre deslice completamente los accesorios en el interior del aparato. No sujete ni traslade el aparato tomándolo de la manija de la puerta. Esta no puede soportar el peso del dispositivo y podría romperse, o las bisagras pueden dañarse. El manejo del microondas sin alimentos en la cavidad del aparato puede provocar sobrecarga. Nunca haga funcionar el microondas, a menos que haya alimentos en la cavidad del aparato. Una excepción a esta regla es una breve prueba de utensilios para horno (consulte la sección “Microondas, utensilios para horno adecuados”), o un modo AutoChef que necesite precalentamiento. Siempre programe la potencia del microondas según lo recomendado para el alimento. Los valores altos de potencia pueden calentar excesivamente los alimentos demasiado rápido. El plato giratorio puede saltar si está sobrecargado.

Sugerencias para obtener los mejores resultados
Para ayudarlo a obtener los mejores resultados posibles de su microondas, lea las siguientes sugerencias que figuran a continuación:
Temperatura de almacenamiento Los alimentos que se sacan del congelador o del refrigerador demoran más en cocinarse.
Tamaño Los trozos pequeños de alimentos se cocinan más rápido que los trozos grandes. Los trozos de tamaño y forma similares se cocinan en forma más pareja al cocinarse juntos. Para obtener resultados más parejos, reduzca los niveles de potencia al cocinar trozos grandes de alimentos.
Humedad natural Los alimentos muy húmedos se cocinan en forma más pareja porque la energía de microondas calienta las moléculas de agua en forma muy eficaz.
Revolver Revuelva los alimentos, como guisados y verduras, desde afuera al centro, para distribuir el calor en forma más pareja.Esto permite que el alimento se cocine más rápido. (No es necesario revolver constantemente.)
Dar vuelta los alimentos Dé vuelta los alimentos, como chuletas de cerdo, carnes asadas o coliflor entero, a la mitad del tiempo de cocción. Esto ayudará a que todos los lados queden expuestos en forma pareja a la energía de microondas.
Colocación de los alimentos Coloque las áreas delicadas de los alimentos, como puntas de espárragos, hacia el centro de la bandeja del plato giratorio.
Disposición de los alimentos Disponga alimentos de formas desparejas, como trozos de pollo o salmón, con las partes más gruesas o carnosas hacia afuera de la bandeja del plato giratorio.
Dejar reposar los alimentos Después de retirar los alimentos del microondas, cúbralos con film de aluminio o una tapa de cacerola y déjelos reposar para que terminen de cocinarse. Esto permitirá que los alimentos se terminen de cocinar en el centro y evitará el exceso de cocción en los bordes externos. El tiempo de reposo depende de la densidad y la superficie de los alimentos.
Envolver Los sándwiches y muchos otros tipos de alimentos que contienen pan prehorneado deben envolverse en toallas de papel o papel encerado antes de colocarse en el microondas para ayudar a evitar que se sequen al calentarse.

41

Añadido de tiempo de cocción (+30 Seconds [+30 segundos])
Esta función que ahorra tiempo le permitirá añadir rápidamente 30 segundos a cualquier tiempo de cocción. +30 Seconds (+30 segundos) también iniciará el microondas con 30 segundos al nivel de potencia del 100 %. Cada vez que pulse la tecla +3
