Suitable Microwave Tableware
•
The ideal material for use in a microwave is transparent and
allows the microwave radiation to heat the food evenly.
•
Microwaves are not able to penetrate metal, so that no metal
vessels or plates should be used.
•
Do not use any paper dishes made of recycled material as
these may contain small amounts of metal, which may result
in sparks or fi res.
•
Round/oval dishes and plates are more suitable than
rectangular ones as the food in the corners may overcook.
The list below is intended to help you select suitable microwave
tableware:

4. Use the rotating button to set the desired cooking duration
between 10 seconds and 60 minutes.
5. Press the INSTANT/START button to start the machine. The
length of cooking depends on the quantity and consistency
of the contents. With a little practice you will soon learn to
estimate the cooking time.
NOTE:
Cooking in the microwave oven is very much faster than
in a standard cooker. If you are not sure, set the cooking
time to low and continue cooking afterwards if necessary.
6. After the time has expired, the oven switches off and the
word „END" appears in the display. Then you can remove
the food.
Interrupting or Stopping the Cooking Process
•
If you would like to interrupt the cooking process, press the
PAUSE/CANCEL button or simply open the door.
•
If you wish to continue cooking, close the door and press the
INSTANT/START button.
•
If you would like to stop the cooking process altogether,
press the PAUSE/CANCEL button twice.
Warming
The warming and heating of food is a particular strength of the
microwave. Liquids and foods that are in the refrigerator can be
easily brought up to room temperature or the right temperature
for consumption without the need for many pots.
The heating times contained in the following table are only
rough guides as the time depends very much on the starting
temperature and the composition of the food. You are therefore
advised to check from time to time whether the dish is already
hot enough.
