5.1 General information about
using the appliance
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for some minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you
prepare the food.
Cooking
• If possible, cook food covered with
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 setting
the power and time too high. 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, because
they can explode. With fried eggs,
pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such
as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages,
with a fork several times before
cooking so that the food does not
explode.
www.electrolux.com8

• 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 after half of the
cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-
sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of
porcelain, ceramic or earthenware
with small holes, e. g. on handles or
unglazed bottoms. Moisture going into
the holes can cause the cookware to
crack when it is heated.
• The glass cooking tray is a work
space for heating food or liquids. It is
necessary for the operation of the
microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it so that the defrosting liquid
collects in the container.
• Turn the food after half of the
defrosting time. If possible, divide 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
temperature. This gives a more even
result. Fully remove all metal or
aluminium packaging before
defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• Do not fully defrost fruit and
vegetables, which are to be further
prepared while raw, in the appliance.
Let them defrost at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave
power to cook fruit and vegetables
without defrosting them first.
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).
