Special accessories

Special accessories can be purchased from our aftersales service, from specialist retailers, or online. You will find a comprehensive range of products in our brochures and online.

Their availability and whether it is possible to order them online varies from country to country. Please see our sales brochures for more details.

Note: Not all special accessories are suitable for every appliance. When purchasing, please always quote the exact identification number (E-no.) of your appliance. → "Customer service" on page 17

Microwave

You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost food quickly. You can use the microwave on its own or in combination with the grill.

To ensure optimum use of the microwave, please observe the notes on cookware and familiarise yourself with the data in the application tables at the end of the instruction manual.

Try out the microwave straight away. You could heat up a cup of water for your tea, for example

Use a large cup without any decorative gold or silver trim and place a teaspoon in it. Place the cup containing the water somewhat eccentrically on the turntable.

1. Press the 800 W button.

2. Use the rotary knob to set 1:30 minutes.

3. Press the "Start" button.

After 1 minute 30 seconds, a signal sounds. The water is hot.

Warning – Risk of scalding! There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Cookware

Not all cookware is microwavable. So that your food is heated and the appliance is not damaged, only use microwavable cookware.

Suitable cookware

Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic are suitable. These materials allow microwaves to pass through.

You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use cookware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.

Unsuitable cookware

Metal cookware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.

Caution!

Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Cookware test

Never switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The short cookware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your cookware is suitable for use in the microwave.

1. Heat the empty cookware at maximum power for ½ to 1 minute.

2. Check the temperature of the cookware during this time.

The cookware should remain cold or warm to the touch. The cookware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.

Defrosting using the automatic programmes

You can use the 4 defrosting programmes to defrost meat, poultry and bread.

Notes

  • Preparing food

Use food that has been frozen at -18 °C and stored in portion-sized quantities that are as thin as possible. Take the food to be defrosted out of all packaging and weigh it. You need to know the weight to set the programme

  • Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
  • Ovenware

Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g. a china or glass plate, but do not cover

  • Resting time

The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat and items made from minced meat should be separated from each other before leaving to stand. After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

  • Signal

For some programmes, a signal sounds after a certain time. Open the appliance door and separate the food out or turn the meat or poultry. Close the door and press the Start button.

Cooking with the automatic programmes

With the 3 cooking programmes, you can cook rice, potatoes or vegetables.

Notes

  • Ovenware

The food must be cooked in microwaveable cookware with a lid. For rice, you should use a large, deep dish

  • Preparing food

Weigh out the food. You need to know the weight to set the programme. Rice: Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Add the required amount of water, as specified on the packaging. This is usually two or three times the quantity of rice. Potatoes: For boiled potatoes, cut the fresh potatoes into small, even-sized pieces. Add one tablespoon of water for each 100 g boiled potatoes, and a little salt. Fresh vegetables: Weigh out the fresh, trimmed vegetables. Cut the vegetables into small, even-sized pieces. Add a tbsp water for each 100 g vegetables.

  • Signal

While the programme is running, a signal sounds after some time. Stir the food.

  • Resting time

Once the programme has finished, stir the food again. You should leave it to stand for another 5 to 10 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. The cooking result will depend on the quality and consistency of the food.

Combi­cooking programme

Notes

  • Ovenware

Cook the food in ovenware which is not too big, and is heat resistant and microwaveable.

  • Preparing food

Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is not possible to enter the exact weight, you should round it up or down.

  • Resting time

Once the programme has finished, allow the food to rest for another 5 to 10 minutes so it reaches an even temperature.
