6.2 General information about
using the appliance
General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for some minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you pre-
pare the food.
Cooking:
• If possible, cook food covered with ma-
terial 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 cook-
ing time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-
sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porce-
lain, ceramic or earthenware with small
holes, e. g. on handles or unglazed bot-
toms. 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 necessa-
ry for the operation of the microwave.
