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.

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.
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 15 programmes.
Notes
■You can affix the enclosed programme overview on the inside
of the door.
■Always place the food in the cold cooking compartment.

■Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry.
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.
■After turning, remove any minced meat that has already
defrosted.
■When defrosting chicken and chicken portions (P03), a
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
10-30 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.
Cooking
Place the ovenware on the lower wire rack.
Rice (P05)
Notes
■The food must be cooked in microwaveable cookware with a
lid. For rice, you should use a large, deep dish.
■Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Rice foams a lot during
cooking. Enter the uncooked weight (without liquid). Add two
to two and a half times the amount of liquid to the rice.
Potatoes (P06)
Note: Boiled potatoes:
Cut into pieces of equal size. Add a little salt and 1 tablespoon
of water for every 100 g of potatoes.
Vegetables (P07)
Notes
■Fresh vegetables:
Cut into equal sized pieces. Add 1 tablespoon of water for
every 100 g of vegetables.
■Resting time
Once the programme has finished, stir the food again. You
should leave it to stand for another 5-10 minutes until it
reaches an even temperature.
The cooking result will depend on the quality and consistency
of the food.
Combi cooking
Lamb, medium (P12)
Ideal for a shoulder joint or boned leg of lamb.
Meat loaf (P13)
The programme is suitable for meat loaves not more than 7 cm
in height.
Fish, whole (P14)
Scale the fish beforehand. Place the fish in the ovenware in its
swimming position.
Rice stew (P15)
Only enter the weight of the rice. Ideal for rise stews with
vegetables, fish or poultry. Only use fresh ingredients. Use a
high-sided dish with a lid.
Resting time
Once the programme has finished, the food should be allowed
to rest for another 5-10 minutes so it reaches an even
temperature.
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.

Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the
microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for 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.
Place the ovenware in the centre of the lower wire rack. 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.
Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
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 .
■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.
Caution!
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
irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
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 .
■Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.
■Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
Check the temperature.
■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

Cooking food
Notes
■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.
■Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a
suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
■This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
require less seasoning.
■After cooking, 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.
Popcorn for the microwave
Notes
■Use heat-resistant, flat glass ovenware, e.g. the lid of an
ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass tray (Pyrex)
■Always place the ovenware on the wire rack.
■Do not use porcelain or overly curved plates.
■Make the settings as described in the table. You can adjust
the timings according to product and amount.
■So that the popcorn doesn't burn, briefly take the popcorn
bag out of the oven after 1 minute and 30 seconds and
shake it. Take care as the bag will be hot!
: Risk of scalding!
■Open the popcorn bag carefully as hot steam may be
released.
■Never set the microwave to full power.

About the tables
Notes
■The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
■The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency
and amount of the mixture. 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, since a lower
temperature results in more even browning.
■Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section
following the tables.
■Always place the cake tin in the centre of the lower wire rack.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared.
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
The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
When the time has elapsed, 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 micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the out-
side but not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.

Baking tips
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 Zof the cooking time has
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 lighter-
coloured 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.
Beef
Notes
■Turn pot-roasted beef after Yand Zof 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 Zof the cooking time.

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 around the edge.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake care-
fully 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 bak-
ing 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.
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 dis-
crepancy 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 cook-
ing compartment. If this does not help, continue baking but without the microwave.
The baking time will then be longer.
