Cookware
Not all cookware is microwavable. So that your food is
heated and the appliance is not damaged, only use
microwavable cookware.
Suitable cookware
Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic,
porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic are suitable.
These materials allow microwaves to pass through.

to transfer food from one dish to another. You should
only use cookware with decorative gold or silver trim if
the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for
use in microwaves.
Unsuitable cookware
Metal cookware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow
microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal
containers will remain cold.
Caution!

your cookware is suitable for use in the microwave.
1. Heat the empty cookware at maximum power for ½
to 1 minute.
2. Check the temperature of the cookware during this
time.
The cookware should remain cold or warm to the touch.
The cookware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks
are generated.

Information about the programmes
Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.
Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is
not possible to enter the exact weight, you should round
it up or down.
For the programmes, always use microwavable
cookware, for example made of glass or ceramic.
Follow the notes on cookware in the programme table.
A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight
ranges and the accessories required can be found in
the section after the notes.
It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight
range.
Defrosting:
■As far as possible, freeze and store food flat and in
portion-sized quantities at -18 °C.
■Place the frozen food in flat cookware, such as a
glass or porcelain plate.
■After defrosting in the appliance, leave the food to
continue defrosting for a further 15 to 90 minutes
until it reaches an even temperature.
■Bread should only be defrosted in the required
amounts, as it quickly becomes stale.
■Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and
poultry and under no circumstances use it for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other
foods.
■After turning, remove any minced meat that has
already defrosted.
■Whole poultry should be placed in the cookware
breast-side down and poultry portions skin-side
down.
Vegetables:
■Fresh vegetables: Cut into pieces of an 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.
Potatoes:
■Boiled potatoes: Cut into pieces of an equal size.
Add two tablespoons of water per 100 g of potatoes,
and salt to taste.
■Unpeeled boiled potatoes: Use potatoes of the
same thickness. Wash the potatoes and prick the
skin. Place the wet potatoes in a dish. Do not add
water.
Rice:
■Do not use brown or boil-in-the-bag rice.
■Add two to two and a half times the amount of water
to the rice.
■For very small portions, use slightly more water.
Resting time
Some dishes need to rest in the cooking compartment
after the programme has ended.

Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal
settings for them. We show you which microwave
output is best for your dish. There are also tips about
cookware and preparation methods.
Notes
■The values in the table always apply to the cooking
compartment when it is cold and empty. Before
using the appliance, remove all unnecessary
cookware from the cooking compartment.
■The times specified in the tables are only guidelines.
They will depend on the quality and composition of
the food.
■Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
taking hot cookware out of the cooking
compartment.
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
When pulling out the cookware, hot liquid may overflow.
Carefully pull the cookware out of the cooking
compartment.
The following tables provide you with numerous options
and settings for the microwave.
The times given in the tables are guidelines; they
depend on the cookware used, and 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. There is a rule of thumb for
operating the microwave: Double the amount = double
the time, half the amount = half the time.
You can place the cookware in the middle on the
cooking compartment floor. The food will then absorb
the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Place the frozen food in an open container on the
cooking compartment floor.
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 been
produced during defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for
a further 15 to 90 minutes so that the temperature can
even out. You can remove the giblets from poultry at
this point.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen
food
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
cookware. 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 cookware.
Food should not be placed in layers on top of one
another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable lid
for your cookware, 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 to allow the temperature to even out.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, which
means it will require less seasoning.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.
Heating
:Warning – 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 vibrates a little,
the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When
heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will
prevent delayed boiling.
Caution!
Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass –
must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks
can 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
cookware. 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 cookware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
■Stir or turn the food several times during the heating
time. Check the temperature.
■After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2
to 5 minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
■Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the appliance.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
