The maximum cooking time is 60 minutes. • Always use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be very hot. • You can get better cooking and browning, if you use the low rack. Check that the heating element is in the horizontal position.
Grilling The grill enables you to heat and brown food quickly, without using microwaves. • Always use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be very hot. • You can get better cooking and grilling results, if you use the high rack. 1. Open the door and place the food on the rack. (grill mode) • 3 4 You cannot set the temperature of the grill. 3. Set the grilling time by turning the Multi Function Selector Dial. • The maximum grilling time is 60 minutes. 4.
Oven use Choosing the accessories Traditional convection cooking does require cookware. You should, however, use only cookware that you would use in your normal oven. Microwave-safe containers are not usually suitable for convection cooking; don’t use plastic containers, dishes, paper cups, towels, etc. If you wish to select a combined cooking mode (microwave and grill or convection), use only recipients that are microwave-safe and oven-proof.
2. Make the display indicating Cb-1, and then press the Multi Function Selector Dial. Result: The following indications are displayed: 2 3 4 5 3.

At that time, press the Multi Function Selector Dial to set the power level. • You cannot set the temperature of the grill.
Oven use Combining microwaves and convection Combination cooking uses both microwave energy and convection heating. No preheating is required as the microwave energy is immediately available. Many foods can be cooked in combination mode, particularly: • Roast meats and poultry • Pies and cakes • Egg and cheese dishes CAUTION CAUTION ALWAYS use microwave-safe and ovenproof cookware. Glass or ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate the food evenly.

Using the turntable on/off features The Turntable On/Off button enables you to use large dishes which fill the whole oven by stopping the turntable from rotating (only manual cooking mode). The results will be less satisfactory in this case as the cooking is less even. We recommend that you turn the dish by hand halfway through the cooking process. 1 2 WARNING Never operate the turntable without food in the oven. Reason: This may cause fire or damage to the unit. 1.
Cookware guide To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected 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.
Cookware Microwave-safe Comments Paper • Plates, cups, napkins and kitchen paper ✓ For short cooking times and warming. Also to absorb excess moisture. • Recycled paper ✗ May cause arcing. Plastic • Containers ✓ Particularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some other plastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic. • Cling film ✓ Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch the food. Take care when removing the film as hot steam will escape.
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: Covering during cooking Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.

Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and stir well. Cook uncovered. Stir occasionally during and after cooking.
Reheating Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens 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. 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.
Cooking guide Reheating baby food Baby food: Baby milk: 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. Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered.

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.

Shield the thinner parts like wings and ends with aluminium foil. Turn over after half of defrosting time! Serve after 15-60 minutes standing.
Grill The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-5 minutes will make the food brown more quickly. Cookware for grilling: Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
