Tested for you in our cooking studio
You will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for
them. We will show you which type of heating and which
temperature or microwave power setting is best for your meal.
You can find information about suitable accessories and the
height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips
about cookware and preparation methods.
Notes
■ The values in the table always apply to food placed in the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only
preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do
so. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from
the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
■ Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after
they have been preheated.
■ The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They will
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
■ Use the accessories provided. Additional accessories may
be obtained as optional accessories from specialist retailers
or from the after-sales service.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot
accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.
■ When using the microwave solo, i.e. on its own without any
type of heating, always use the wire rack at level 1.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the
microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time,
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Insert the wire rack at level 1. Place the ovenware in the centre.
The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
Notes
■ Place the frozen food in an open container on the wire rack.
■ Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty
outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of
aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compart-
ment walls. You can remove the foil half way through the
defrosting time.
■ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times. When
turning, remove any liquid that has resulted from defrosting.
■ Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can
stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this
point.
