Note:
In the
Tested for you in our cooking studio
section, 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.

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!
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.
:
Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes very hot. Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements.
Always allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children at a safe distance.
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.
■
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
13
■ completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
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.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use

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 appliance door as little as possible during cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for the second cake.
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.
17
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
Automatic programmes
The automatic programmes enable you to prepare food very easily. You select the programme and enter the weight of your food. The automatic programme makes the optimum setting.
You can select from 20 programmes.
Ovenware
The automatic programmes are only intended for roasting in ovenware with a lid. For all programmes, use deep ovenware with lid. Place the ovenware on the wire rack at level 1.
Suitable cookware
Heat-resistant (up to 300 °C) glass or glass ceramic ovenware, for example, is suitable.
Unsuitable cookware
Cookware made of unglazed clay and plastic cookware or cookware with plastic handles is not suitable.
Metal cookware is not suitable.
The microwave is used for some programmes. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. The food will not brown as much and the meat will not be as well cooked.
Size of the ovenware
The meat should cover about two thirds of the ovenware base.
This will ensure that you get good meat juices.
The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least
3 cm. The meat may expand during the roasting process.
Making settings
When you have selected a programme, set the oven. The temperature selector must be in the off position.

Defrosting and cooking with the automatic programmes
Notes
■
Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is not possible to enter the exact weight, you should round it up or down.
■
■
Always use microwaveable ovenware, e.g. made of glass, ceramic or the universal pan. Observe the accessories tips in the programme table.
Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.
■
■
■
A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight ranges and the accessories required can be found in the section after the tips.
It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight range.
With many dishes, a signal sounds after a certain time. Turn or stir the food.
Defrost
Notes
■
If possible, freeze and store food flat and in portions at -
18 °C.
Programme no.
Suitable food
■
Put the frozen food on shallow tableware, e.g. a glass or porcelain plate.
■
Cover thin and protruding parts with small pieces of aluminium foil. This prevents these parts from cooking prematurely. Ensure that the aluminium foil does not touch the walls of the cooking compartment.
■
After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further 10 to
90 minutes so that it acquires an even temperature.
■
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry or fish.
Drain off this liquid when you turn the food. Under no circumstances should it be used for other purposes or be allowed to come into contact with other foods.
■
Place beef, lamb and pork on the ovenware fatty-side down first.
■
Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it quickly becomes stale.
■
After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.
■
Whole poultry should be placed in the ovenware breast-side down and poultry portions skin-side down. Cover legs and wings with small pieces of aluminium foil.
■
For whole fish, cover the tail with aluminium foil, for fish fillets cover the edges and for fish steaks cover the protruding ends.

Tested for you in our cooking studio
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.

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 the amount - almost twice the cooking time,
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Insert the wire rack at level 1. Place the ovenware in the centre.
The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Notes
■
Place the frozen food in an open container on the 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.

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 .
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.

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.

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

Baking tips
You want to bake according to your own recipe.
Use baking tins made of silicone, glass, plastic or ceramic materials.
How to establish whether sponge cake is baked through.
The cake collapses.
Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
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.
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.
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.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.
The cake is too dark.
The cake is too dry.
Select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
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).
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.
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.
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.
You have measured the temperature of the oven using your own meat thermometer and found there is a discrepancy.
The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer after a specified period of time using a test rack in the centre of the cooking compartment. Ovenware and accessories 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.

Roasting and grilling
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,
For more information, see the section entitled
Tips for grilling and roasting
which follows the tables.
Ovenware
You may use any heat resistant 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.
Tips for roasting
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 a little more liquid for pot roasts. Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.
Poultry:
Turn the pieces of meat after elapsed.

Tips for grilling
Notes
■
Always keep the oven door closed when grilling and do not preheat.
■
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 lightcoloured 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 braising
Use ovenware with a lid for braising fish.
Add two to three tablespoons of liquid and a little lemon juice or vinegar into the ovenware.
Beef
Notes
■
Turn pot-roasted beef after Y and Z of the cooking time.
Finally, allow to stand for approx. a further 10 minutes.
■
Turn fillet of beef and sirloin halfway through the cooking time. Finally, allow to stand for approx. a further 10 minutes.
■
Turn steaks after Z of the cooking time.

Tips for roasting and grilling
The table does not contain information for the weight of the joint.
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 and watery.
The roast is not well-done enough.
For small roasts, select a higher temperature and a shorter cooking time. For larger roasts, select a lower temperature and a longer cooking time.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.
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.
Bakes, gratins, toast with toppings
Notes
■
The values in the table apply to food placed in a cold oven.
■
Use large flat ovenware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers and browns more on top.
■
■
Place the bake in microwaveable ovenware on the wire rack.
Leave bakes and gratins to cook in the oven for a further
5 minutes after switching off.
■
Use a 4 to 5 cm deep ovenproof dish for bakes, potato gratins and lasagne.
■
Place soufflés in individual moulds or in a deep ovenproof dish. Preheat the cooking compartment.
■
Toast with topping: lay 4 slices next to each other in the centre of the universal pan. Distribute 12 slices evenly over the universal pan.

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,
General
Baking biscuits
Oven chips chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).
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 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.
