Notes
■ Preparing food
Use food that has been frozen at -18 °C and stored in portionsized quantities that are as thin as possible.
Take the food to be defrosted out of all packaging and weigh it.
You need to know the weight to set the programme.
■
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.
■
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.

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).
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.

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.
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.
Notes
■ 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.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with 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
Notes
■ 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.
■
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.
The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.

Notes
■ 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 .
■
Stir carefully during defrosting.
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.

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.

Baking tips
You want to bake according to your own
recipe.
Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Use baking tins made of silicone, glass,
plastic or ceramic materials.
The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. Cakes in these baking tins will be
less brown. When using the microwave, the cooking time will be shorter than the time
shown in the table.
How to establish whether sponge cake is
baked through.
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 lower Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully
around the edge.
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.

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.

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,
Tips for grilling
For more information, see the section entitled Tips for grilling and
roasting which follows the tables.
Notes
■ Always keep the oven door closed when grilling and do not
preheat.
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.
■
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 lightercoloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling light-coloured
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.
Tips for roasting
Notes
■ Use a deep roasting dish for roasting meat and poultry.
■
Check that your ovenware fits in the cooking compartment. It
should 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

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 Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
and watery.
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.
