Tips
- Always cover food when heating it,
except when heating beverages or
meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.
- Please note that foods with an initial
temperature of approx.5°C (refriger-
ated temperature) need longer to
heat up than those at room temperat-
ure.
- If you are in any doubt that a suffi-
ciently high food temperature has
been reached, continue heating for a
little longer.
- Frozen ready meals can be defrosted
and then heated at the same time.
Follow the instructions on the pack-
aging.
Heating food
Use containers that are microwave
safe.
 Place the food that is to be heated in
the glass tray on shelf level 1.
 If necessary, cover the food.
 Select Special applications.
 Select Reheat| Microwave.
 Change the recommended power
level and time if necessary.
 Select Start.
 During heating:
Stir, turn or rearrange the food once
again. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
 Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The steam oven gets hot during op-
eration. You could burn yourself on
the oven compartment, side runners
or accessories. Droplets of water
may have accumulated underneath
the crockery.
Use oven gloves when working in the
hot oven compartment and when re-
moving the crockery.
During the standing time, the temperat-
ure is distributed evenly in the food.
 After heating, allow the food to stand
at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
evenly throughout the food.

Notes in the table
Take note of the recommended micro-
wave power levels, heating times and

ency, the quantity and the initial tem-
perature of the food into account.
Choosing durations
 You are generally advised to select
the middle duration.
