Defrosting of fruit and vegetables
–Fruit and vegetables that are to be used raw later should not be fully defrosted in the appliance, but left to complete defrosting at room temperature outside.
–Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked immediately afterwards can be cooked straight from frozen using a higher power level.
Ready made meals
–Ready made meals in metal packages or plastic containers with metal lids should be heated or defrosted in your microwave oven only if they are explicitly marked as being suitable for microwave use. Please follow the operating instructions printed on the packages (e.g. remove the metal lid and prick the plastic foil).

Tips on microwaving
You can’t find cooking details for specific quantity of food.
The food is too dry.
Base programming on a similar- type of food. Lengthen or shorten the cooking time accordingly:
Double quantity = almost double time
Half quantity = half time
Set a shorter cooking time or reduce the microwave power output.
The food is not yet defrosted, heated through or cooked on completion of programme time.
The food is overcooked on the outside and undercooked in the middle on completion of cooking time.
Select a longer programme time or a higher microwave power setting. Note that larger food will require a longer time.
Next time, try a lower power set- ting for a longer time. Stir liquids, such as soup, periodically.
