Microwave

Information about operation

General

• After switching off the appliance, let the

food stand for a few minutes (see Micro-

wave Tables: Standing Time).

• Remove aluminium foil packaging, metal

containers, etc. before preparing the food.

Cooking

• If possible, cook food covered with mate-

rial suitable for use in the microwave. Only

cook food uncovered, if a crust is to be

kept.

• Chilled or frozen foods require a longer

cooking time.

• Dishes containing sauce should be stirred

from time to time.

• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such

as carrots, peas or cauliflower, should be

cooked in water.

• Turn larger pieces about halfway through

the cooking time.

• If possible, cut vegetables into similar sized

pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish

• Place the frozen, unwrapped food on a

small upturned plate with a container un-

derneath or on a defrosting rack or plastic

sieve so that the defrosting liquid can run

off.

• Turn the food after half the defrosting time.

If possible, divide, remove pieces that have

started to defrost.

Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,

quark

• Do not defrost completely in the appliance,

but leave to defrost at room temperature.

This gives a more even result. Remove any

metal or aluminium packaging or parts be-

fore defrosting completely.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables

• Do not completely defrost fruit and vege-

tables, which are to be further prepared

while still raw, in the appliance, but at room

temperature.

• Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked,

can be cooked directly using a higher mi-

crowave power, without being defrosted.

Ready Meals

• Ready meals in metal packaging or plastic

trays with metal covers may only be de-

frosted or heated in the microwave if these

are expressively designated as suitable for

use in the microwave.

• You must follow the manufacturer’s in-

structions printed on the packaging (e. g.

remove metal cover and pierce plastic

film).
