15 How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes
as well as the best accessories and cookware. We
have tailored these recommendations to your appli-
ance.
15.1 What is the best way to proceed?
In this section, you will find out the best way to proceed
using step-by-step instructions to make optimal use of
the recommended settings. You will get information on
many meals, with details and tips on how to best use
and set your appliance.
Tip
Cooking tips
¡ The recommended settings always apply to the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
¡ The times specified in the overviews are intended as
a guide only. They will depend on the quality and
composition of the food.
WARNING‒Risk of burns!
Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during
heating, or even afterwards.
▶ Never cook eggs in their shell or heat hard-boiled
eggs in their shell.
▶ Never cook shellfish or crustaceans.
▶ Always prick the yolk of eggs before microwaving.
▶ The skin of foods that have a peel or skin, such as
apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may
burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.
1.
Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary
cookware from the cooking compartment.
2.
Select the desired food from the recommended set-
tings.
3.
Place the food in suitable cookware.
4.
Place the cookware in the middle on the cooking
compartment floor.
The food can then absorb the microwaves from all
sides.
5.
Use the recommended settings when configuring
the appliance settings.
Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, in-
crease the cooking time.
6.
Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot
cookware out of the cooking compartment.
15.2 Defrosting, heating and cooking with
the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and
cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as
on the temperature, composition and quantity of the
food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin
with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher set-
ting the next time. It may be that you have different
quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a
rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost
double the time, half the amount = half the time.
Defrosting with the microwave
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Freeze the food flat.
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2–3times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
¡ Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
¡ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.
¡ Separate any defrosted parts when turning.
¡ After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes.
