Problem
Remedy
The food got too dry.
Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave pow-
er.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked af-
ter the time came to an end.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that
large dishes need longer time.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the
food is overheated at the edge but is still not
ready in the middle.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids
halfway through, e.g. soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide
dish.
Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this may
cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.
Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry from
the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before
cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay
covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.
All vegetables should be cooked at full
microwave power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of
vegetables.
Cut the fresh vegetables into even size pieces
before cooking. Cook all vegetables with a
cover on the container.
Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals always
follow the instruction written on the packaging.
Grilling
Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill
rack.
Turn the food over halfway through the set time
and continue grilling.
Combi Cooking
Use the Combi Cooking to keep the crispness
of certain foods.
At the half of the cooking time, turn over the
foods then continue.
There are 2 modes for Combi Cooking. Each
mode combines the microwave and the grill
functions at different time periods and power
levels.
