compartment for long periods. This will damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to
corrosion.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the
cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not
trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only
slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged
over time.
■Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door
will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal
clean.
■Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects
on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance
door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance
door.
■Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot
support the weight of the appliance and could break.
■Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead
to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is
food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is
a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable
crockery").
■Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too
high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always
place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if
overloaded.
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 appliance door as little as possible during cooking,
baking or roasting.

5
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking
compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for
the second cake.
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.

Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain
its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
: Risk of short circuit!
Never use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean
the oven.
: Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.
Notes
■Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
■Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
■Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
■Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be
removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup
of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent
delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at
maximum microwave power.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using
the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table.
Do not use:
■any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents,
■metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance
door,
■metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
■hard scouring pads and sponges,
■cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.
Rinse out new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
For easier cleaning, you can switch on the oven light. Open the
appliance door to do so.

■Put the frozen food on shallow tableware, e.g. a glass or
porcelain plate.
■Cover thin and protruding parts with small pieces of
aluminium foil. This prevents these parts from cooking
prematurely. Ensure that the aluminium foil does not touch
the walls of the cooking compartment.
■After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further 10 to
90 minutes so that it acquires an even temperature.
■Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry or fish.
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.
■Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it
quickly becomes stale.
■After turning, remove any minced meat that has already
defrosted.
■Whole poultry should be placed in the dish breast-side down
and poultry portions skin-side down. Cover legs and wings
with small pieces of aluminium foil.
Boiled potatoes
Note: Cut into equal sized pieces. Add a little salt and a
tablespoon of water for every 100 g of potatoes.
Vegetables
Notes
■Fresh vegetables: cut into pieces of equal size. Add one
tablespoon of water for every 100 g vegetables.
■Frozen vegetables: this programme is only suitable for
blanched, not pre-cooked vegetables. It is not suitable for
frozen vegetables in cream sauce. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of
water. Do not add water to spinach or red cabbage.
Rice
Notes
■Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice.
■Add two to two and a half times the amount of water to the
rice.
Fish
Note: Fish fillet, fresh: add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water or
lemon juice.
Resting times
Some dishes need to rest in the oven after the programme has
ended.
Tested for you in our cooking studio.
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings
for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best
for your dish and there are tips about cookware and
preparation.
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.
■The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They
depend on the quality and consistency 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 cookware 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 the amount - almost twice the cooking time,
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
Check the temperature.
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.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

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.

■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

■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

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
