When heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
: Warning
Risk of injury!
Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic ovenware can have small perforations in the handles or lids. These perforations conceal a cavity below. Any moisture that penetrates this cavity could cause the ovenware to crack. Only use microwave-safe ovenware.

■ appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.
Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass –
■
■ must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance. They damage the appliance by producing sparks.

Microwave
You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost food quickly.
To ensure optimum use of the microwave, please observe the notes on cookware and familiarise yourself with the data in the application tables at the end of the instruction manual.
~ "Tested for you in our cooking studio" on page 18
Cookware
Not all cookware is microwavable. So that your food is heated and the appliance is not damaged, only use microwavable cookware.
Suitable cookware
Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic are suitable.
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 cookware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.
Unsuitable cookware
Metal cookware 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 cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
Cookware test
Never switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The short cookware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your cookware is suitable for use in the microwave.
1.
2.
Heat the empty cookware at maximum power for ½ to 1 minute.
Check the temperature of the cookware during this time.
The cookware should remain cold or warm to the touch.
The cookware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.
In this case, stop the test.

Notes
■
The values in the table always apply to the cooking
■ compartment when it is cold and empty. Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary cookware from the cooking compartment.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines.
■
They will depend on the quality and composition of the food.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot cookware out of the cooking compartment.
: Warning
Risk of scalding!
When pulling out the cookware, hot liquid may overflow.
Carefully pull the cookware out of the cooking compartment.

The times given in the tables are guidelines; they depend on the cookware used, and 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. There is a rule of thumb for operating the microwave: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time.
You can place the cookware in the middle on the cooking compartment floor. The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Place the frozen food in an open container on the cooking compartment floor.
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 been produced during defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 15 to 90 minutes so that the temperature can even out. You can remove the giblets from poultry at this point.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable cookware. 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 cookware.
Food should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable lid for your cookware, 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 to allow the temperature to even out.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, which means it will require less seasoning.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Heating
: Warning
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 vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating, 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 cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of food you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following rule of thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer times.
Time has elapsed but the food is overheated at the edge but not done in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. Turn large amounts of poultry or meat several times.
