Microwave tips
Cakes, small baked items and bread
The settings tables list the optimum settings for many
bakes.
To prove dough, place the dough in a bowl and cover it
with film or a tea towel. Place this on the bottom of the
cooking compartment and then set 40 °C hot air.
Baking in combination with a microwave
Baking in combination with a microwave considerably
reduces the cooking time.
Always use heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for
microwave use. Observe the notes on cookware
suitable for microwaves.~ "Microwave" on page 16
In combined operation, you can use conventional metal
baking tins. If sparks are produced between the baking
tin and the wire rack, check whether the tin is clean on
the outside. Change the position of the tin on the wire
rack. If this does not help, continue baking without the
microwave. The baking time will be longer. If you use
baking tins made of plastic, ceramic or glass, the
baking time indicated in the settings tables will be
shorter.
Steam-assisted baking
Using steam-assisted baking gives certain baked items
(e.g. yeast-risen pastries) a crispier crust and glossier
surface. The baked item does not dry out as much.
Fill the water tank up to the "max." mark. If the
appliance runs out of water, it will continue to cook your
meal with the selected heating function but without
adding steam.
Frozen products
Carefully take the food out of the packaging. Do not use
frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of
ice. Remove any ice on the food.
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
Bread and rolls
Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment or
place cookware containing water onto the bottom of the
cooking compartment. The change in temperature
could damage the bottom of the cooking compartment.
Switch on the steam function for hot air. The settings for
bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking
tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

Notes
You cannot find any information about the settings for the quan-
tity of food you have prepared.
Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following rule of
thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time
The food has become too dry. Next time set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, not hot or
not cooked.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer
times.
Time has elapsed and the food is overheated at the edge but not
done in the middle.
Stir it occasionally and next time select a lower microwave power setting and
a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is cooked on the outside
but not defrosted in the middle.
Next time select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrosting a large
quantity of food, turn it frequently.
