Refer to Safety chapters.

Refer to chapter "Care and

Cleaning".

• Remove all the parts and additional

packaging from the microwave.

• Clean the appliance before first use.

Refer to Safety chapters.

• After you deactivate the appliance, let the

food stand for some minutes.

• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal

containers, etc. before you prepare the food.

• If possible, cook food covered with material

suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook

food without a cover if you want to keep it

crusty

• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the

power and time too high. The food can dry

out, burn or catch fire in some places.

• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or

snails in their shells, because they can

explode. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks

first.

• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as

potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork

several times before cooking so that the

food does not explode.

• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer

cooking time.

• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred

from time to time.

• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such

as carrots, peas or cauliflower, must be

cooked in water.

• Turn larger pieces after half of the cooking

time.

• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized

pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

• Do not use cookware made of porcelain,

ceramic or earthenware with small holes, e.

g. on handles or unglazed bottoms. Moisture

going into the holes can cause the cookware

to crack when it is heated.

• The glass cooking tray is a work space for

heating food or liquids. It is necessary for the

operation of the microwave.

• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small

upturned plate with a container below it so

that the defrosting liquid collects in the

container.

• Turn the food after half of the defrosting

time. If possible, divide and then remove the

pieces that started to defrost.

• Do not fully defrost the food in the appliance,

but let it defrost at room temperature. This

gives a more even result. Fully remove all

metal or aluminium packaging before

defrosting.

• 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 defrosting

them first.

• You can prepare ready meals in the

appliance only if their packaging is suitable

for microwave use.

• You must follow the manufacturer's

instructions printed on the packaging (e.g.

remove the metal cover and pierce the

plastic film).
