Practical tips for use

General

·After switching off your appliance, let food stand inside for a few
minutes to allow even heat distribution (standing time).
·Remove any aluminium foil or metal containing packaging before
preparing the food.
·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.

Cooking

–Whenever possible cook food covered. Only pastry dishes with crust
should be cooked uncovered.
–Refrigerated or frozen food require longer cooking times.
– Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.
–Cook soft 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, so that the meat juice can drain.
–Halfway through defrosting, turn the food, dividing it where possible
and removing the pieces that have defrosted.
