Cooking compartment functions

The functions in the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use. This, for example, enables the cooking compartment to be well lit and a cooling fan to prevent the appliance from overheating.

Microwave

You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost food quickly.

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. ~ "Tested for you in our cooking studio" on page 18

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.

In this case, stop the test.

Warning – Risk of burns! The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.

The microwave power settings do not always correspond to the exact wattage that the appliance uses.

Information about the programmes

Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.

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.

For the programmes, always use microwavable cookware, for example made of glass or ceramic. Follow the notes on cookware in the programme table.

A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight ranges and the accessories required can be found in the section after the notes.

It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight range.

Defrosting:

• As far as possible, freeze and store food flat and in portion-sized quantities at -18 °C.
• Place the frozen food in flat cookware, such as a glass or porcelain plate.
• After defrosting in the appliance, leave the food to continue defrosting for a further 15 to 90 minutes until it reaches an even temperature.
• Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it quickly becomes stale.
• 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.
• After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.
• Whole poultry should be placed in the cookware breast-side down and poultry portions skin-side down.

Vegetables:

• Fresh vegetables: Cut into pieces of an equal size.
  Add one tablespoon of water for every 100 g vegetables.
• Frozen vegetables: This programme is only suitable for blanched, not pre-cooked vegetables. It is not suitable for frozen vegetables in cream sauce. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water. Do not add water to spinach or red cabbage.

Potatoes:

• Boiled potatoes: Cut into pieces of an equal size.
  Add two tablespoons of water per 100 g of potatoes, and salt to taste.
• Unpeeled boiled potatoes: Use potatoes of the same thickness. Wash the potatoes and prick the skin. Place the wet potatoes in a dish. Do not add water.

Rice:

• Do not use brown or boil-in-the-bag rice.
• Add two to two and a half times the amount of water to the rice.
