CHILD SAFETY LOCK

The child safety lock prevents small children from using the microwave oven. The microwave oven cannot be operated as long as the child safety lock is active. The child safety lock is activated by holding the “STOP/CLEAR” button down for

3 seconds. A long beep will be heard and the display shows a key symbol and the current time or “0:00”. The child safety lock is deactivated by holding the “STOP/CLEAR” button down for 3 seconds. The key symbol will then disappear from the display.

TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION

When preparing food in the microwave oven, the following basic rules apply:

Cooking time

Smaller quantities of food cook more rapidly than large quantities. If the amount of food is doubled, the preparation time must be more than doubled correspondingly.

Small pieces of meat, small fish and chopped vegetables cook more quickly than large pieces. For the same reason, it is recommended that if, for example, you wish to make goulash, stews or similar, the meat be cut into pieces no bigger than 2 x 2 cm.

The compactness of the food is also very important for the cooking time. The more compact the food is, the longer it takes to cook.

Whole joints require a longer cooking time than stewed dishes.

A joint requires a longer time than a dish using minced meat.

The colder the food, the longer the cooking time needs to be. Food at room temperature will therefore cook faster than food from a fridge or freezer.
