RULES AND TIPS FOR USING THE OVEN
Microwavesareaformofelectromagneticradiation.Theyoccur
in nature in the form of light waves (e.g. sunlight). In the oven,
these waves penetrate food from all directions to heat water, fat
and sugar molecules.
Heatisquicklygeneratedinthefooditself,whilethecontainer
warms up as a result of heat spreading from the food only.
Inmicrowavecooking,fooddoesnotsticktothedish.Youcan
therefore use very little fat and in some cases no fat at all.
Asmicrowavecookingislow fat,microwavepreparedfood is
considered to be very healthy.
Microwavecookingalsoinvolveslowertemperaturesthantradi-
tional cooking. It therefore dehydrates foods less, destroys less
of their nutritional value and retains more original avour.
Fundamental rules for correct microwave cooking
• Cookingtimedependsdirectlyonthesizeandevennessof
thefood.Acasserolewillcookfasterthanaroastbecauseit
consistsofsmallerregular-sizedpieces.Whenyoureferto
the cooking tables later in this manual, remember that you
must increase or reduce cooking time to match the volume
of food you are cooking.
 Alwaysrespectstandingtime,inotherwords,thelengthof
time you must leave food to“rest” after cooking. Standing
time ensures that food is served at an even temperature
throughout.
The temperature of meat, for example, can rise between
5°Cand8°Cduringstandingtime.
Food can be left to stand inside or outside the oven.
OVENWARE
In the Microwave Only and Combi with Microwave functions,
any glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramic, china or terracotta
ovenware may be used provided it has no metal decorations or
parts (e.g. gold decorations, metal handles, feet etc.).
Heatresistantplasticplatescanalsobeused,butonlyfor“Mi-
crowave Only”cooking.
If you are in doubt as to the suitability of a particular container,
carry out this simple test - place the empty container in the oven
for60secondsatmaximumpower(“MicrowaveOnly”function).
If the container remains cold or heats up only slightly, it is suita-
ble for microwave cooking. If it becomes very hot (or sparks are
produced), the container is not suitable.
When heating up for brief periods, paper napkins, cardboard
trays or disposable plastic plates can be used as a base.
The size and shape of containers must allow them to rotate ea-
sily inside the oven.
Metal,wood,caneandcrystalglasscontainersarenotsuitable
for microwave cooking.
Rememberthatthemicrowavesheatthefoodnottheovenwa-
re. Food can therefore be cooked directly on the serving plate,
thus avoiding using and cleaning saucepans.
Alwaysuseovenmittsastheveryhotfoodmaytransmitheat
to the plate.
IftheovenissettoGrill,FanorSpitRoast,alltypesofovenware
can be used.
The following table provides useful guidelines for choosing
ovenware:

24
• Alwaysmixorstirfoodseveraltimesduringcooking.This
not only ensures even temperature distribution but also
reduces cooking time.
• Turnfoodoverduringcooking.Thisisespeciallyimportant
for meat, whether in large pieces (roasts, whole chickens,
etc.) or small pieces (chicken breasts, casseroles, etc.).
• Pierce foods with skins, shells or peel (e.g. apples, po-
tatoes, tomatoes, frankfurters, sh, etc.) with a fork at
several points to allow steam to escape from inside. This
prevents these foods from exploding inside the oven.
• Ifyouarecookinganumberofportionsofthesametypeof
food (e.g. boiled potatoes), arrange the portions in a ring
around the outside of an ovenproof dish to ensure they
cook evenly.
• Thelowerthetemperatureatwhichfoodisplacedinthe
oven, the longer the cooking time required.
Food placed in the oven at room temperature will cook
sooner than food coming directly from the refrigerator.
• Alwaysplacedishes andcontainersinthe middleof the
turntable.
• Itisperfectlynormalforcondensationtoforminsidethe
oven and near the air outlet vents.
To reduce this, cover the food with clear lm, greaseproof
paper, glass covers or simply an upturned plate.
Foods with a high water content (e.g. greens and vegeta-
bles) cook better when covered.
Covering food also helps keep the inside of the oven clean.
 Useclearlmsuitableformicrowavecooking.
• Donotmicrowavecookeggsintheirshells.Pressurewill
build up inside and can cause the egg to explode, even af-
ter cooking has nished.
Do not heat precooked eggs unless scrambled.
• Alwaysopenair-tightorsealedcontainersbeforeplacing
them in the oven, otherwise pressure will build up inside
and may cause them to swell and explode even after cook-
ing has nished.
SETTING THE CLOCK
The rst time the appliance is connected to the mains electricity
supply or after it has been without power for some time, the
“delo”welcome message is displayed for 2-3 seconds, followed

ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
Eachyear,technologicalprogressrequirestheproductionofever
more electricity.
The result is ever greater environmental impact due to the

DEFROST
• Frozenfoodsinplasticbags,lm,orovenreadycontainers
can be placed directly in the oven. Check rst that there are
no metal objects like staples or ties.
• Certaintypesoffoodsuchasgreenvegetablesandshdo
not require defrosting completely before cooking.
• Foodsinmeatandothersaucesdefrostquickerandmore

sionally.
• Meat,shandfruitallloseliquidsduringdefrosting.Al-
ways place these foods in a bowl to defrost them.
• Youarerecommendedtodividemeatandplaceindividual
pieces in separate bags when freezing.
This will save you valuable time during preparation.
• Always respect standing times between defrosting and
cooking. Standing time is the time for which you must
leave food to “rest” before cooking. Standing time ensures
that food has an even temperature throughout when cook-
ing starts.
HEATING
Yourmicrowaveovenisatitsmostusefulandecientwhen
heating up food.
Compared to traditional methods, microwaves save both time
and electricity.
• Youarerecommendedtoheatfood(particularlyiffrozen)
toatemperatureofatleast70°C(itmustbepipinghot!).
 Youwillnotbeabletoeatthefoodatonceasitwillbetoo
hot, but complete sterilisation will be guaranteed.
• Toheatprecookedorfrozenfood,alwaysobservethefol-
lowing rules:
- remove the food from metal containers;
- cover with clear lm (for microwave use) or greaseproof
paper. This will retain all the natural avour and keep the
ovenclean.Youcanalsocoverwithanupturnedplate;
- if possible, mix or turn frequently to make the heating pro-
cess quicker and more even.
- use extreme caution when following times indicated on
packaging. Remember that in certain conditions, these
times may have to be increased;
• Frozenfoodmustbedefrostedbeforeheatingstarts.
The lower the initial temperature of the food, the longer it
will take to heat.
COOKING HORS D’OEUVRES AND FIRST COURSES
Soups in general can be made with less water because very little
water is lost through evaporation in microwave ovens.
Addsaltattheendofcookingorduringstandingtimebecause
salt has a dehydrating eect.
Notethatthetimerequiredtocookrice(orpasta)inamicro-
wave oven is more or less the same as required to cook it tradi-
tionally on the stove.
The advantage of preparing a risotto in a microwave lies in the
fact that it does not require continual stirring (two to three
times is enough).
COOKING MEAT
Cooking time depends directly on the size and homogeneity of
the food. Kebabs cook quicker than a joint because the pieces
are smaller and of the same size.
Tokeeproasts,chickenandkebabstender,add1/2cupofwater
when you start cooking.
COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGETABLES
Compared to traditional cooking methods, vegetables retain
more of their natural colour and nutritional goodness when
cooked in a microwave oven.
Beforecooking,washandcleanthevegetables.
Cut larger vegetables into evenly sized pieces.
Add5spoons ofwaterfor every500gofvegetables(brous
vegetablesneedmorewater).VegetablescookedusingtheMi-
crowave Only function must always be covered with clear lm.
Mixatleastoncehalfwaythroughcookingandaddalittlesalt
at the end only.
Please note: The cooking times in the table are purely
indicative and depend on weight, the temperature of the food
before cooking and the size and texture of the vegetables.
COOK FISH
Fish cooks fast and with excellent results.
It can be avoured with a little butter or oil (or not at all).
Cover with clear lm. Cut skin before cooking. Arrange llets
evenly. Do not cook sh breaded with egg.
COOKING CAKES, PASTRIES AND FRUIT
Alwayscookcakeswithfanfunction,puttingthemonthewire
rack in low position.
If cooked with the peel, fruit should be pierced and kept covered.
Itisimportanttoobservethestandingtime(3-5minutes).
COOKING USING THE STEAM FUNCTION NOT ALL

Danger of burns! during cooking, very hot steam
isproducedinsidetheaccessory.Whenliftingthelid,take
caretoavoidburnscausedbypusofsteam.Holdtheac-
cessory by the plastic base only and lift the lid by the top
handle, avoiding contact with metal parts of the accessory
(g. 19).
Cooking with steam
The steam accessory cooks food using the moist heat of boiling
water, but without direct contact between the food and the wa-
ter which would lead to a loss of nutrient salts.
The steam accessory has a metal lid which blocks passage of the
microwaves. The microwaves heat the water in the plastic part
only, the water generates steam and this cooks the food.
Important! neverusetheaccessorywithlessthan500cc
of water in the container (empty) to avoid damage or electrical
discharges within the steam accessory.
If the water evaporates completely before the end of cooking,
addafurther500ccofwatertothecontainer.
Important! do not use the accessory if visibly damaged,
brokenorwarped.Nevercookwithoutusingthemetalbaseand
lid.
The times indicated in the table are an average and must be ad-
justed to take account of these simple fundamental rules.
