5.1 General information about
using the appliance
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for several minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you
prepare the food.
Cooking
• If possible, cook food covered with a
material suitable for use in the
microwave. Only cook food without a
cover if you want to keep it crusty
• Do not overcook the dishes by
choosing too high a power setting and
too long a time. The food can dry out,
burn or catch fire in some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook
eggs or snails in their shells as they
may explode. With fried eggs, pierce
the yolks first.
• Pierce the skin or peel of potatoes,
tomatoes, sausages and similar types
of food with a fork several times
before cooking so that the food does
not burst.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer
cooking time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be
stirred from time to time.
• Vegetables that have a firm structure,
such as carrots, peas or cauliflower,
must be cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces of food halfway
through the cooking process.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-
sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of
porcelain, ceramic or earthenware
with unglazed bottoms or small
openings, for example, on handles.
Moisture may get into these openings
causing the cookware to crack when
heated up.
• The glass cooking tray is necessary
for the operation of the microwave.
Place the food or liquids on it.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
• Put frozen, unwrapped food on a
small angled plate with a container
below so that the defrosting liquid
collects in the container.
• Turn the food halfway through the
defrosting time. If possible, separate
and then remove the pieces that
started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark
• Do not fully defrost the food in the
appliance, but let it defrost at room
ENGLISH 9

temperature. It gives a more even
result. Remove all metal or aluminium
packaging before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• If fruit and vegetables should remain
raw, do not defrost them fully in the
appliance. Let them defrost at room
temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first use a higher
microwave power.
Ready meals
• You can prepare ready meals in the
appliance only if their packaging is
suitable for microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and
pierce the plastic film).
