Practical Tips

General

After switching off your appliance, let food stand for a few minutes to allow even heat distribution (standing time).

Remove any aluminium foil or packaging containing metal and/or accessories before preparing food (unless specifically stated).

Metal objects must be placed at least 2 cm away from the cooking space walls and door. Otherwise arcing can occur, resulting in damage to the appliance.

Check food frequently when grilling.

Cooking

Whenever possible cook food covered. Only pastry dishes with a crust should be cooked uncovered.

Refrigerated or frozen food require longer cooking times.

Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.

Cook hard vegetables such as carrots, peas and cauliflower with a little water.

Cook soft vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes without liquid.

Increase cooking time by approximately 50% for larger pieces. Whenever possible, cut vegetables into equal-sized pieces.

Defrosting of meat, poultry and fish

Place frozen, unpacked meat on an inverted plate in a glass or porcelain container, or use a sieve, so that the meat juice can drain.

Halfway through defrosting, turn the food, dividing it where possible and removing the pieces that have defrosted.

Defrosting of butter, pieces of layer cake and cottage cheese

Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but allow to complete defrosting outside the appliance. This will give a more even result.

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 the microwave oven.

Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked immediately afterwards can be cooked directly on a higher power level without defrosting.

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 pierce the plastic film).
