Cooking
Notes
■ Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
which is piled high. You should therefore distribute
the food so that it is as flat as possible in the
cookware. Food should not be placed in layers on
top of one another.
■ Cook the food in cookware with a lid. If you do not
have a suitable lid for your cookware, use a plate or
special microwave foil.
■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste,
which means it will require less seasoning.
■ After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further
2to 5minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the appliance.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity 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, hot or cooked. Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer
times.
Time has elapsed but the food is overheated at the edge but not done
in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but
not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. Turn large amounts of
poultry or meat several times.
