Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have tailored these recommendations to your appliance.
11.1 What is the best way to proceed?
In this section, you will find out the best way to proceed step-by-step in order to be able to make optimum use of the recommended settings. You will get information on many meals, with details and tips on how to best use and set your appliance.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become hot.
▶
Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or accessories from the cooking compartment.
Note: The times given in the tables are guidelines and depend on the quality, temperature and consistency of the food.
1.
Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary cookware from the cooking compartment.
2.
Select a type of food from the recommended settings.
3.
Add the food to a suitable tableware.
→ "Microwave-safe cookware and accessories",
4.
Always place the cookware on the turntable.
5.
Set the appliance according to the recommended settings.
Time ranges are often specified in the recommended settings. Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, increase the cooking time. If two microwave power settings and times are specified in the tables, set the first microwave power setting and cooking time first and, after the signal, set the second.
Tip: If you want to cook quantities that deviate from those specified in the tables, set approximately double the time for double the amount.
11.2 Tips for defrosting and heating
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting and heating.
Issue
The food should be defrosted, hot or cooked once the time has elapsed.
Tip
Set a longer cooking time. Larger quantities and food which is piled high require longer times.
Issue
Once the time has elapsed, the food should not be overheated at the edge and cooked in the middle.
After defrosting, poultry or meat should not be defrosted on the outside only but still frozen in the middle.
The food should not be too dry.
Tip
¡ Stir the food occasionally.
¡ Set a lower microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.
¡ Set a lower microwave power setting.
¡ If you are defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
¡ Set a lower microwave power setting.
¡ Set a shorter cooking time.
¡ Cover the food.
¡ Add more liquid.
11.3 Defrosting
With your appliance you can defrost frozen food.
Defrosting food
1.
Place the frozen food in an open container on the turntable.
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 sides of the cooking compartment.
2.
Start the operation.
You can remove the foil halfway through the defrosting time.
3. Note: Liquid is produced when you defrost meat and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
4.
Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it defrosts.
Turn large pieces of food several times.
5.
To even out the temperature, leave the defrosted food to stand at room temperature for approx. 10–
20 minutes.
You can remove the giblets from poultry at this point. You can continue to cook the meat even if a small section of it is still frozen in the centre.

11.4 Heating
With your appliance you can heat food.
Heating food
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become hot.
▶
Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or accessories from the cooking compartment.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil over and splatter.
▶
Always place a spoon in the container when heating liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
How it works en
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.
▶ 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.
1.
Take ready meals out of the packaging and place in microwave-safe cookware.
2.
Distribute the food flat in the cookware.
3.
Cover the food with a suitable lid, a plate or special microwave foil.
4.
Start the operation.
5.
Turn or stir the food several times during cooking.
The speed at which different components of the meal heat up may vary.
6.
Check the temperature.
7.
To even out the temperature, leave the heated food to stand at room temperature for approx. 2–5 minutes.
