How a microwave oven works
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the
colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook
Cooking principle
1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron reected at cavity and
are distributed uniformly as the food
rotates on the turntable. The food is
thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the
food up to a depth of about 1 inch
(2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the
heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the
container used and the properties of
the food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated
or not)
NOTE
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even
when you have taken the food out of the microwave oven. Standing times
specied in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the centre.
• The same temperature throughout the food.
Checking that your microwave oven is operating correctly
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your microwave oven is
working correctly at all times.
If you have any problems, see the “Troubleshooting” section on pages 39 to 43.
NOTE
The microwave oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The
turntable must be placed in the microwave oven. If a power level other than the
maximum (100 % - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.
3
1. Pull the handle to open the microwave
oven door.
2. Place a glass of water on the turntable,
and then close the door.
3. Press Microwave.
4
4. Press START/+30s repeatedly to set the
time to 4 or 5 minutes.
5. The microwave oven heats the water
for the set time. Check and make sure
the water is boiling.

Cookware guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate
the food, without being reected or absorbed by the dish used.
Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is
marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how
they should be used in a microwave oven.

Cooking guide
Microwaves
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water,
fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid
movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the
food.
Cooking
Cookware for microwave cooking
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum
efciency. Microwaves are reected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium
and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as
well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, sh, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups,
steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave
oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would
normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the
chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises
as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different
ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling lm.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature
to even out within the food.

Reheating
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional
ovens and hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The
times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to overcook and dry
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower
power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up
very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir
again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive
boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating.
Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting
a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore
spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if
necessary.

Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the rst time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken – for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even
out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another
time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with
the safety precautions.
Reheating liquids
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the microwave oven
has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass
stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
Reheating baby food
Baby food
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating!
Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature.
Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C.
Baby milk
Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s
bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before
standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature
of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving
temperature: ca. 37 °C.
Remark
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent
burns. Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for
reheating.

Defrosting
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently
defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if
unexpected guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties
and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any
liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to
make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield
by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing. Leave the sh, meat and poultry to stand
in order to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will
vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time
than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting
food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the
following table as a guide.

Cooking guide
Microwave + grill
This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with
the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the
turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly.
Three combination modes are available with this model:
600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.
Cookware for cooking with microwaves + grill
Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be
ameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any
type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for microwaves + grill cooking
Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food
which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which
require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can
be used for thick food portions that benet from a browned and crispy top (e.g.
chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the
grill table for further details.
Important remark
Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, the food should be
placed on the grill rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Please refer to
the instructions in the following chart.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
