If food being heated begins to smoke, DO
NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug
the oven and wait until the food has
stopped smoking. Opening the door while
food is smoking may cause a fire.
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page XX.
Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity, the turntable and roller stay after
use. These must be dry and free from
grease. Built-up grease may overheat and
begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven o r
ventilation openings. Do not blo ck the ventilation
openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., fro m foo d
and food packages. Arcing o n metallic surfaces may

beco me ho t. Before cleaning make sure they are not
hot.
To avoid misuse by children
WARNING: Only allow children to use the
oven without supervision when adequate
instructions have been given so that the
child is able to use the oven in a safe way
and understands the hazards of improper
use.
Do not lean or swing o n the oven do or. Do not play
with the oven o r use it as a to y.
Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of po t holders, careful removal o f
foo d coverings; paying special attention to packaging
(e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food
crisp, as they may be extra hot.
Other warnings
Never modify the o ven in any way.
Do not move the oven while it is in o peration.
This o ven is for home food preparation only and may
only be used for co oking food. It is not suitable fo r
co mmercial o r labo ratory use.
To promote trouble-free use of your oven
and avoid damage.
Never o perate the oven when it is empty except
where recommended in the operation manual, see
Page 7 . Doing so may damage the o ven.
W hen using a bro wning dish or self-heating material,
always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a
po rcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the
turntable and ro ller stay due to heat stress. The
preheating time specified in the dish’s instructions
must not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect micro waves
and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in
the oven.
Use o nly the turntable and the ro ller stay designed for
this oven.
To prevent the turntable fro m breaking:
(a) Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the
turntable to cool.
(b) Do not put ho t foo ds or hot utensils o n a co ld
turntable.
(c) Do not put co ld foods or co ld utensils o n a hot
turntable.
Do not place anything o n the o uter cabinet during
operation.
Do not use plastic containers fo r micro waving if the
oven is still hot from using the GRILL mode o peration,
because they may melt. Plastic containers must no t be
used during abo ve modes unless the co ntainer
manufacturer says they are suitable.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids
before use. Sealed co ntainers can explo de due to a
build up o f pressure even after the oven has been
turned o ff.
Take care when micro waving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allo w bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked
containers such as baby bottles, as this may
result in the contents erupting from the
container when heated and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
po ssible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/ reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass ro d or similar utensil
into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seco nds in the o ven
at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed
eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole
hard boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode
even after microwave cooking has ended.
To cook or reheat eggs which have not
been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks
and the whites, or the eggs may explode.
Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before
reheating them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as po tato es, sausag es
and fruit before cooking , o r they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use po t holders o r o ven glo ves when removing food
fro m the oven to prevent burns.
Always o pen containers, po pcorn makers, o ven
co o king bags, etc., away fro m the face and hands to
avoid steam burns.
To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving and
pay special attention to the temperature of
food and drink given to babies, children or
the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of
the temperature o f the fo o d or drink; always check the
foo d temperature.
Always stand back from the oven do or when opening
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the do o r to prevent them
burning themselves.

ENGLISH
WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?
SUITABLE OVENWARE
Micro waves are generated in the micro wave oven
by a magnetron and cause the water molecules in
the food to oscillate.
Heat is generated by the friction which is caused,
with the result that the food is thawed, heated or
co o ked.
GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS
Heat-resistant glass utensils are very
suitable. The co oking pro cess can be
observed from all sides. They must
not, however, co ntain any metal (e.g.
lead crystal), nor have a metallic o verlay (e.g. go ld
edge, co balt blue finish).
CERAMICS
G enera lly very suitab le. Cera mics must be g la zed,
since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into
the ceramic. Mo isture causes the material to heat up
and may make it shatter. If you are not certain
whether your utensil is suitable for the micro wave,
carry out the utensil suitability test.
PORCELAIN
Ve ry suitable. Ensure that the po rcelain does no t have
a go ld or silver overlay and that it do es not co ntain
any metal.
PLASTIC AND PAPER UTENSILS
Heat resistant plastic utensils which are suitable for use
in the micro wave can be used to thaw, heat and co o k
foo d. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Heat-resistant paper made for use in a microwave
oven is also suitable. Fo llow the manufacturer's
reco mmendations.
MICROWAVE FOIL
This, or heat-resistant foil, is very suitable fo r covering
or wrapping. Please follo w the manufacturer's
reco mmendations.
ROASTING BAGS
Can be used in a micro wave oven. Metal clips are
not suitable for fastening them since the ro asting bag
foil might melt. Fasten the ro asting bag with string and
pierce it several times with a fork. Non heat-resistant
foo d wraps are not recommended for use in a
micro wave oven.
BROWNING DISH
A special micro wave dish made fro m ceramic g lass with
a metal allo y base, which allows food to be bro wned.
W hen using the bro wning dish a suitable insulato r,
e.g. a po rcelain plate, must be placed between the
turntable and the browning dish. Be careful to adhere
exactly to the pre-heating time given in the
manufacturer's instructions. Excessive pre-heating can
damage the turntable and the turntable stand o r can
trigg er the safety-device which will switch off the o ven.
METAL
G enera lly spe aking, metal sho uld no t be use d, since
micro waves do not pass thro ugh metal and therefore
canno t reach the food. There are, however, exceptions:
small strips of aluminium foil may be used to cover
certain parts of the foo d, so that these do not thaw too
quickly or begin to coo k (e.g. chicken wings).Small
metal skewers and aluminium co ntainers (e.g. of ready-
co o ked meals) can be used. They must, however, be
small in relation to the food, e.g. aluminium co ntainers
must be at least 2 / 3to 3 / 4filled with food. It is
reco mmended that yo u transfer the food into a dish
suitable for use in the micro wave. W hen using
aluminium containers or o ther metal utensils there must
be a gap o f appro x. 2 cms between them and the
walls of the coo king area, o therwise the walls could be
damaged by po ssible arcing.
NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL
OVERLAY metal parts such as screws, bands or handles.
UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST
If you are not sure whether your utensil
is suitable for use in your micro wave
oven, carry out the follo wing test:
Place the utensil into the oven. Place
a g lass container filled with 1 5 0 ml of water o n or
next to the utensil. Switch o n the o ven at 80 0 W
power for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays co o l o r
just warm to the to uch, it is suitable. Do not use this
test on a plastic utensil. It could melt.

TIPS AND ADVICE
TIME SETTINGS
In general the thawing, heating and cooking times are
sig nificantly sho rter than when using a co nventional
oven. Fo r this reason yo u sho uld adhere to the
reco mmended times given in this co okery boo k. It is
better to set the times to o short, rather than to o long. Test
the food after it has been co oked. It is better to have to
co o k something fo r a little longer than to o vercook it.
INITIAL TEMPERATURES
Thawing, heating and co oking times are dependent
upo n the initial temperature o f the foo d. Deep-frozen
foo d and food stored in a refrigerator, for example,
requires longer than foo d which has been sto red at
roo m temperature. Fo r heating and cooking, normal
storage temperatures are assumed (refrigerato r
temperature approx. 5 ° C, ro om temperature approx.
20 ° C). For thawing the temperature of the deep
freeze is assumed to be -1 8 ° C.
COOKING TIMES
All the times given in this coo kery boo k are
guidelines, which can be varied according to the
initial temperature, weight and co ndition o f the
foo d (water o r fat content etc.).
SALT, SPICES AND HERBS
Foo d cooked in yo ur microwave retains its individual
flavour better than it do es when co nventional
preparation methods are used. For this reason you
sho uld use salt sparingly and normally add it only after
co o king. Salt absorbs liquid and dries out the o uter
layer of foo d. Herbs and spices can be used as normal.
ADDITION OF WATER
Vegetables and o ther foo ds with a high water
co ntent can be cooked in their own juice o r with
the addition of a little water. This ensures that many
vitamins and minerals are preserved.
FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS
Foo ds such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,
baked po tatoes, to matoes, apples, egg yo lks or such
like should be pricked o r pierced with a fork o r small
woo den skewer. This will enable the steam which
forms to dissipate without splitting the skin or shell.
FATTY FOODS
Fatty meat and layers of fat coo k better than lean
portions o f meat. Befo re cooking, cover the fatty
portions with a piece o f aluminium foil or place the
foo d with the fat side down.
LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES
Micro wave times are directly dependent upon the
amount of food which you wo uld like to thaw, heat
or cook. This means that small po rtions co ok more
quickly than larger o nes. As a rule of thumb:
TW ICE THE AMO UN T = ALMO ST TW ICE THE TIME
HALF THE AMO UN T = HALF THE TIME
DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS
Bo th co ntainers have the same capacity, but the
co o king time is longer for the deeper one. You
sho uld therefore choose as flat a co ntainer as
possible with a large surface area. O nly use deep
co ntainers for dishes where there is a danger of
overco o king, e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc..
ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS
Foo d cooks more evenly in ro und o r oval
co ntainers than in co ntainers with co rners, since
the micro wave energy co ncentrates in the co rners
and the fo od in these areas could become
overco o ked.
COVERING
Covering the fo od retains the moisture within it and
sho rtens the coo king time. Use a lid, micro wave
foil o r a co ver. Fo ods which are to be crispy, e.g.
roasts o r chickens, should not be co vered. As a
general rule, whatever wo uld be covered in a
co nventional o ven should also be covered in a
micro wave o ven. W hatever would be unco vered
in an o rdinary o ven can also be left uncovered in
a micro wave oven.
IRREGULAR SHAPED FOOD
Place the thicker, more compacted end of the food
pointing towards the outside. Place vegetables
(such as bro cco li) with the stalks po inting o utward.
STIRRING
Stirring the fo o d is necessary, since the
micro waves begin by heating the outer areas. The
temperature is thereby equalised and the foo d
heats up evenly.
ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD
Place a number o f individual po rtions, such as
small pudding moulds, cups o r potatoes in their
jackets, in a circle on the turntable. Keep the
portions at a distance fro m each o ther so that
the micro wave energy can reach the foo d fro m
all sides.

TIPS AND ADVICE
TURNING
Medium-sized items, such as hamburg ers and
steaks, should be turned o ver o nce during co o king,
in o rder to shorten the co oking pro cess. Larg e
items, such as roasts and chickens, must be turned,
since the upper side receives more micro wave
energ y and could dry out if not turned.
STANDING TIME
Keeping to the standing time is one of the mo st
impo rtant rules with micro waves. Almost all foo ds,
which are thawed, heated or coo ked in the
micro wave, require a certain amount of time to stand,
during which temperature equalisation takes place
and the moisture in the fo od is evenly distributed.
BROWNING AGENTS
After more than 1 5 minutes' co oking time food acquires
a bro wnness, although this is not co mparable to the
deep bro wnness and crispness o btained thro ugh
co nventional coo king. In order to obtain an appetising
bro wn colo ur you can use bro wning agents. For the
most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents.
In the follo wing table yo u will find some sug gestions
for substances yo u might use for bro wning and some
of the uses to which yo u might put them.
BROWNING AGENT

DISH METHOD
HEATING
●Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers
sho uld be removed fro m the aluminium
co ntainer and heated o n a plate o r in a dish.
●Remove the lids from firmly closed co ntainers.
●Foo d should be co vered with micro wave foil, a
plate o r cover (obtainable fro m sto res), so that
the surface does no t dry out. Drinks need not be
co vered.
●W hen bo iling liquids such as water, co ffee, tea
or milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.
●If po ssible, stir large quantities fro m time to time,
to ensure that the temperature is evenly
distributed.
●The times are for fo od at a ro om temperature of
20 ° C. The heating time fo r food sto red in a
refrigerato r should be increased slightly.
●After heating allow the food to stand fo r 1 -2
minutes, so that the temperature inside the fo od
can be evenly distributed (standing time).
●The times g iven are guidelines which can be
varied acco rding to the initial temperature,
weight, water content, fat content or the result
which yo u wish to achieve.
DEFROSTING
Yo ur micro wave is ideal for thawing . Thawing times
are usually considerably sho rter than in traditional
methods. Here are a few tips. Take the frozen item o ut
of its packaging and place o n a plate for thawing.
Boxes and Containers
Bo xes and co ntainers suitable for micro waves are
particularly go o d for thawing and heating food, since
they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze
(do wn to appro x. –4 0 ° C) as well as being heat-
resistant (up to appro x. 2 20 ° C). You can therefore use
the same co ntainer to freeze, thaw, heat and even
co o k the food, without having to transfer it.
Covering
Cover thin parts with small strips o f aluminium fo il before
thawing. Thawed or warm parts should likewise be covered
with aluminium strips during thawing . This sto ps the thin parts
becoming too hot while thicker parts are still frozen.
Correct setting
It is better to choo se a setting which is too low rather
than o ne which is to o high. By so doing you will
ensure that the food thaws evenly. If the micro wave
setting is to o high, the surface of the foo d will already
have begun to co o k while the inside is still fro zen.

TIPS AND ADVICE
Tur ning/stirring
Almost all foo ds have to be turned or stirred fro m time
to time. As early as po ssible, separate parts which are
stuck to gether and rearrange them.
Small amounts
Thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones. We
reco mmend that you freeze portions which are as
small as possible. By so do ing yo u will be able to
prepare whole menus quickly and easily.
Foods requiring careful handling
Foo ds such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread
sho uld o nly be partially thawed and then left to thaw
co mpletely at ro om temperature. By so doing yo u will
avoid the outer areas becoming too ho t while the
inside is still fro zen.
Standing time
This is particularly impo rtant after thawing foo d, as the
thawing pro cess continues during this period. In the
thawing table yo u will find the standing times for
various fo ods. Thick, dense foo ds require a lo nger
standing time than thinner foods or food of a poro us
nature. If the food has not thawed sufficiently, yo u may
co ntinue thawing it in the microwave oven or lengthen
the standing time accordingly. At the end of the
standing time yo u should pro cess the fo od as soon as
possible and not re-freeze it.
COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES
●W hen buying vegetables try to ensure that, as far
as po ssible, they are of similar size. This is
particularly impo rtant when you want to co ok the
vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potato es).
●Wash the vegetables before preparing them, clean
them and o nly then weigh the required quantity for
the recipe and chop them up.
●Season them as you wo uld normally, but as a rule
only add salt after cooking.
●Add about 5 tbsps of water for 5 00 g o f
vegetables. Vegetables which are hig h in fibre
require a little more water. Yo u will find information
about this in the table.
●Vegetables are usually co o ked in a dish with a lid.
Those with a high moisture content, e.g. o nions or
bo iled po tato es, can be cooked in micro wave foil
without adding water.
●After half the co o king time has elapsed vegetables
sho uld be stirred o r turned o ver.
●After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for
appro x. 2 minutes, so that the temperature
disperses evenly (standing time).
●The co oking times g iven are guidelines and depend
upo n the weight, initial temperature and condition
of the type o f vegetable in question. The fresher the
vegetables, the shorter the co oking times.
COOKING MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY
●W hen buying food items, try to ensure that, as far
as po ssible, they are of similar size. This will ensure
that they are co oked pro perly.
●Before preparation wash meat, fish and po ultry
thoroughly under cold running water and pat them
dry with kitchen paper. Then co ntinue as normal.
●Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.
●Even thoug h the pieces may be of a similar size,
co o king results may vary. This is due, amo ngst
other things, to the kind of fo od, variations in the fat
and moisture co ntent as well as the temperature
before co oking.
●After the food has been cooking for 15 minutes it
acquires a natural brownness, which may be
enhanced by the use of a bro wning agent. If, in
addition, you wo uld like the surface to be crisp you
sho uld either use the bro wning dish or sear the foo d
on yo ur cooker and finish co oking it in yo ur
micro wave. By doing this you will simultaneo usly
obtain a bro wn base for making a sauce.
●Turn larg e pieces o f meat, fish or po ultry half way
thro ugh the co o king time, so that they are co o ked
evenly from all sides.
●After cooking co ver ro asts with aluminium foil and
allo w them to stand for appro x. 1 0 minutes (standing
time). During this period the ro ast carries on co oking
and the liquid is evenly distributed, so that when it is
carved a minimum amount of juice is lo st.
DEFROSTING AND COOKING
Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and co oked at the
same time in one pro cess in your micro wave. Yo u will
find some examples in the table. Do take note,
however, of the general advice given on " heating " and
"thawing" fo o d. Please refer to the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging when preparing deep-
frozen dishes. These usually contain precise coo king
times and o ffer advice on preparation.
