User manual
It is necessary for the operation of the
microwave oven.
• Always put the glass stick (if supplied)
in the container when you heat liquids,
in order to prevent overcooking or
splashing.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it, or on a defrosting rack or plas-
tic sieve so that the defrosting liquid
can run off.
• Turn the food after half the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then re-
move the pieces that have started to
defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but
let them defrost at room temperature.
This gives a more even result. Fully re-
move all metal or aluminium packaging
or parts before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables,
which are to be further prepared while
raw, in the appliance. Let them defrost
at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power
to cook fruit and vegetables without de-
frosting them first.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers can only
be defrosted or heated in the micro-
wave if they are expressively designa-
ted as suitable for use in the micro-
wave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's in-
structions printed on the packaging (e.
g. remove the metal cover and pierce
the plastic film).
