9 RECOMMENDED COOKING TABLES
9.1 Cooking with Microwaves
Warning! Read the section “Safety Precautions” before cooking with
your microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with microwaves:
Before heating or cooking foods with peel or skin (e.g. apples,
tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) prick them so that they do not
burst. Cut the food up before starting to prepare it.
Before using a container or dish make sure that it is suitable for
microwave use (see the section on types of ovenware).
When cooking food with very little moisture (e.g. defrosting
bread, making popcorn, etc.) evaporation is very quick. The
oven then works as if it was empty and the food may burn. The
oven and the container may be damaged in such a situation.
You should therefore set just the cooking time necessary and
you must keep a close eye on the cooking process.
It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil (frying) in the
microwave.
Remove pre-cooked food from the containers they come in
since these are not always heat resistant. Follow the food
manufacturer’s instructions.
If you have several containers, such as cups, for example, set
them out uniformly on the turntable plate.
Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips
instead. Prick the bags several times so that the steam can
escape easily.
When heating or cooking foods, check that they reach at least a
temperature of 70°C.
During cooking, steam may form on the oven door window and
may start to drip. This situation is normal and may be more
noticeable if the room temperature is low. The oven’s safe
working is not affected by this. After you have finished cooking,
clean up the water coming from the condensation
When heating liquids, use containers with a wide opening, so
that the steam can evaporate easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and keep in mind the cooking
times and power levels indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only indicative and can vary
depending on the initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is
EN

Instructions for the User
17
advisable to adjust the times and power levels to each situation.
Depending on the exact characteristics of the food you may need to
increase or shorten the cooking times or increase or decrease the power
levels.
Cooking with microwaves...
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in
mind that:
Double the quantity » double the time
Half the quantity » half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly.
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly distributed on the
ceramic base. If you put dense foods on the outside part of the plate and
less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you can heat up different types
of food simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any time. When you do this the oven
switches off automatically. The microwave will only start working again
when you close the door and press the start key.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking time and retain their
characteristics better. The lids used must let microwaves pass through and
have small holes that allow steam to escape

9.2 Defrosting with Microwaves
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves
(china, glass, suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of
raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food.
When freezing food keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute the
food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside the oven. The thickest
parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside.
You can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium
foil. Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the
oven cavity interior as this can cause electrical arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin
portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese and cream should not be
completely defrosted. If they are kept at room temperature they will be
ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if you find
small pieces of ice in it, you should mix these in before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off
more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not become too
dry.
10. Turn the food whenever the oven lets out a beep and the DSP1
displays the word: .
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not forget to take off any
metal twist-tags. For containers that are used to keep frozen food in the
freezer and which can also be used for heating and cooking, all you need
to do is take off the lid. For all other cases you should put the food into
containers that are suitable for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that from poultry, should
be discarded. In no event should such liquids be allowed to come into
contact with other foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for
standing time until the food is completely defrosted.
