IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid the danger of fire

The microwave oven should not be left

unattended during operation. Power levels

that are too high or cooking times that are

too long may overheat foods resulting in a

fire.

This oven is no t designed to be built in to a kitchen

unit.

The electrical o utlet must be readily accessible so that

the unit can be unplugged easily in an emerg ency.

The AC po wer supply must be 2 3 0 V, 5 0 Hz, with a

minimum 1 0 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 1 0

A distribution circuit breaker.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving o nly

this appliance be pro vided.

Do not place the o ven in areas where heat is

generated. Fo r example, close to a co nventional

oven.

Do not install the oven in an area of hig h humidity o r

where moisture may collect.

Do not store or use the o ven o utdoors.

If food being heated begins to smoke, DO

NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug

the oven and wait until the food has

stopped smoking. Opening the door while

food is smoking may cause a fire.

Use only microwave-safe containers and

utensils. See Page XX.

Do not leave the oven unattended when

using disposable plastic, paper or other

combustible food containers.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven

cavity, the turntable and roller stay after

use. These must be dry and free from

grease. Built-up grease may overheat and

begin to smoke or catch fire.

Do not place flammable materials near the o ven or

ventilation openings. Do not blo ck the ventilation

openings.

Remo ve all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., fro m food

and food packages. Arcing o n metallic surfaces may

cause a fire.

Do not use the micro wave oven to heat oil for deep

frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the

oil may catch fire.

To make popco rn, use o nly special micro wave

popcorn makers.

Do not store food o r any other items inside the o ven.

Check the settings after you start the o ven to ensure

the oven is o perating as desired.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

Do not to uch the oven door, o uter cabinet, rear

cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation o penings, accessories

and dishes during GRILL mode operation as they will

become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not

hot.

To avoid misuse by children

WARNING: Only allow children to use the

oven without supervision when adequate

instructions have been given so that the

child is able to use the oven in a safe way

and understands the hazards of improper

use.

Do not lean o r swing o n the o ven do o r. Do not play

with the o ven o r use it as a to y.

Children sho uld be taught all impo rtant safety

instructions: use o f po t holders, careful remo val of

foo d coverings; paying special attention to packaging

(e.g . self-heating materials) designed to make food

crisp, as they may be extra hot.

Other warnings

Never modify the o ven in any way.

Do not move the o ven while it is in operation.

This oven is for home food preparation o nly and may

only be used for co o king food. It is not suitable for

co mmercial o r labo ratory use.

To promote trouble-free use of your oven

and avoid damage.

Never o perate the oven when it is empty except

where recommended in the operation manual, see

Page 7. Doing so may damage the oven.

W hen using a browning dish o r self-heating material,

always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a

porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the

turntable and ro ller stay due to heat stress. The

preheating time specified in the dish’s instructions

must not be exceeded.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect micro waves

and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in

the oven.

Use o nly the turntable and the roller stay designed for

this o ven.

To prevent the turntable fro m breaking:

(a) Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the

turntable to cool.

(b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold

turntable.

Do not place anything on the o uter cabinet during

operation.

Do not use plastic co ntainers for micro waving if the

oven is still hot fro m using the GRILL mode o peration,

because they may melt. Plastic co ntainers must not be

used during abo ve modes unless the container

manufacturer says they are suitable.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and

sudden boiling:

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must

not be heated in sealed containers since

they are liable to explode.

Never use sealed co ntainers. Remove seals and lids

before use. Sealed co ntainers can explo de due to a

build up o f pressure even after the o ven has been

turned o ff.

Take care when micro waving liquids. Use a wide-

mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Never heat liquids in narrow necked

containers such as baby bottles, as this may

result in the contents erupting from the

container when heated and cause burns.

To prevent sudden eruption o f bo iling liquid and

possible scalding :

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/ reheating.

2. It is advisable to insert a glass ro d or similar utensil

into the liquid whilst reheating.

3. Let liquid stand for at least 2 0 seco nds in the oven

at the end o f cooking time to prevent delayed

eruptive boiling .

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole

hard boiled eggs should not be heated in

microwave ovens since they may explode

even after microwave cooking has ended.

To cook or reheat eggs which have not

been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks

and the whites, or the eggs may explode.

Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before

reheating them in the microwave oven.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potato es, sausag es

and fruit before co o king, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use po t holders o r o ven gloves when removing food

fro m the o ven to prevent burns.

Always o pen co ntainers, popco rn makers, o ven

co o king bags, etc., away from the face and hands to

avoid steam burns.

To avoid burns, always test food

temperature and stir before serving and

pay special attention to the temperature of

food and drink given to babies, children or

the elderly.

Temperature o f the container is not a true indication o f

the temperature of the food or drink; always check the

foo d temperature.

Always stand back fro m the oven do o r when o pening

to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release

steam and avoid burns.

Keep children away from the door to prevent them

burning themselves.

heaviest item likely to be co o ked.

✓

✗

W ater vapo ur o r drops may o ccasio nally form on the

oven walls o r aro und the door seals and sealing

surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an

indication o f micro wave leakage or a malfunction.

NOTE:

If yo u are unsure how to connect yo ur o ven, please

co nsult an authorised, qualified electrician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept

any liability for damage to the o ven or personal injury

resulting fro m failure to o bserve the correct electrical

level for cooking, follow the advice given in the

recipe section. G enerally the follo wing

recommendations apply:

800 W - used for fast cooking o r reheating e.g.

soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,

veg etables, fish, etc.

560 W - used for lo nger co o king o f dense foods

such as ro ast jo ints, meat loaf and plated meals,

also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and

spo nge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce

will not boil over and food will cook evenly without

over cooking at the sides.

400 W - for dense foods which require a lo ng

co o king time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef

dishes, it is advisable to use this po wer setting to

ensure the meat will be tender.

240 W Defrost setting - to defro st, select this

power setting, to ensure that the dish defro sts

evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?

SUITABLE OVENWARE

Micro waves are generated in the micro wave o ven

by a magnetro n and cause the water molecules in

the food to o scillate.

Heat is generated by the friction which is caused,

with the result that the food is thawed, heated o r

co o ked.

GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS

Heat-resistant glass utensils are very

suitable. The cooking process can be

observed from all sides. They must

not, however, contain any metal (e.g.

lead crystal), nor have a metallic o verlay (e.g. gold

edge, cobalt blue finish).

CERAMICS

G enerally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed,

since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into

the ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat up

and may make it shatter. If you are not certain

whether yo ur utensil is suitable for the microwave,

carry out the utensil suitability test.

PORCELAIN

Ve ry suitable. Ensure that the po rcelain do es not have

a gold o r silver overlay and that it do es not co ntain

any metal.

PLASTIC AND PAPER UTENSILS

Heat resistant plastic utensils which are suitable for use

in the microwave can be used to thaw, heat and co o k

food. Fo llo w the manufacturer's reco mmendations.

Heat-resistant paper made for use in a micro wave

oven is also suitable. Fo llow the manufacturer's

recommendations.

MICROWAVE FOIL

This, or heat-resistant foil, is very suitable for covering

or wrapping. Please follow the manufacturer's

recommendations.

ROASTING BAGS

Can be used in a micro wave o ven. Metal clips are

not suitable for fastening them since the roasting bag

foil might melt. Fasten the roasting bag with string and

pierce it several times with a fork. Non heat-resistant

food wraps are no t reco mmended for use in a

microwave oven.

BROWNING DISH

A special micro wave dish made fro m ceramic glass with

a metal allo y base, which allows food to be bro wned.

W hen using the bro wning dish a suitable insulator,

e.g. a po rcelain plate, must be placed between the

turntable and the bro wning dish. Be careful to adhere

exactly to the pre-heating time given in the

manufacturer's instructions. Excessive pre-heating can

damage the turntable and the turntable stand or can

trigger the safety-device which will switch o ff the o ven.

METAL

G enerally speaking , metal should not be used, since

microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore

cannot reach the food. There are, however, exceptions:

small strips o f aluminium foil may be used to cover

certain parts of the food, so that these do not thaw too

quickly o r begin to co o k (e.g . chicken wings).Small

metal skewers and aluminium co ntainers (e.g . o f ready-

co o ked meals) can be used. They must, however, be

small in relation to the food, e.g. aluminium containers

must be at least

filled with food. It is

recommended that yo u transfer the food into a dish

suitable for use in the micro wave. W hen using

aluminium containers o r o ther metal utensils there must

be a g ap o f appro x. 2 cms between them and the

walls o f the co o king area, o therwise the walls could be

damaged by possible arcing.

NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL

OVERLAY metal parts such as screws, bands or handles.

UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST

If yo u are not sure whether yo ur utensil

is suitable for use in yo ur micro wave

oven, carry o ut the follo wing test:

Place the utensil into the o ven. Place

a glass co ntainer filled with 1 5 0 ml of water o n o r

next to the utensil. Switch on the o ven at 80 0 W

power for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays cool o r

just warm to the to uch, it is suitable. Do not use this

test o n a plastic utensil. It could melt.

TIPS AND ADVICE

TIME SETTINGS

In general the thawing, heating and co o king times are

sig nificantly shorter than when using a conventional

oven. For this reason yo u should adhere to the

recommended times given in this co o kery book. It is

better to set the times to o short, rather than too lo ng. Test

the food after it has been cooked. It is better to have to

co o k something for a little lo nger than to overco o k it.

INITIAL TEMPERATURES

Thawing, heating and cooking times are dependent

upon the initial temperature o f the food. Deep-fro zen

food and food stored in a refrigerator, for example,

requires lo nger than food which has been sto red at

room temperature. Fo r heating and cooking, normal

storage temperatures are assumed (refrigerator

temperature appro x. 5 ° C, room temperature appro x.

20° C). For thawing the temperature o f the deep

freeze is assumed to be -1 8 ° C.

COOKING TIMES

All the times given in this cookery book are

guidelines, which can be varied acco rding to the

initial temperature, weight and condition o f the

food (water o r fat content etc.).

SALT, SPICES AND HERBS

Food co o ked in yo ur micro wave retains its individual

flavo ur better than it do es when co nventional

preparation methods are used. Fo r this reaso n yo u

sho uld use salt sparing ly and normally add it o nly after

co o king. Salt absorbs liquid and dries o ut the o uter

layer o f food. Herbs and spices can be used as normal.

ADDITION OF WATER

Vegetables and o ther foods with a high water

co ntent can be cooked in their o wn juice or with

the addition o f a little water. This ensures that many

vitamins and minerals are preserved.

FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS

Foods such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,

baked po tatoes, to mato es, apples, egg yo lks o r such

like should be pricked o r pierced with a fork o r small

wooden skewer. This will enable the steam which

forms to dissipate without splitting the skin o r shell.

FATTY FOODS

Fatty meat and layers o f fat co o k better than lean

portions o f meat. Befo re cooking, cover the fatty

portions with a piece o f aluminium foil o r place the

food with the fat side do wn.

LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES

Micro wave times are directly dependent upon the

amount o f food which yo u wo uld like to thaw, heat

or co o k. This means that small portions cook more

quickly than larger ones. As a rule o f thumb:

TW ICE THE AMO UNT = ALMO ST TW ICE THE TIME

HALF THE AMO UNT = HALF THE TIME

DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS

Bo th co ntainers have the same capacity, but the

co o king time is longer for the deeper o ne. You

sho uld therefore cho o se as flat a container as

possible with a large surface area. O nly use deep

co ntainers for dishes where there is a danger o f

overcooking, e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc..

ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS

Food co o ks more evenly in round o r o val

co ntainers than in containers with corners, since

the micro wave energy concentrates in the corners

and the food in these areas co uld beco me

overcooked.

COVERING

Co vering the food retains the moisture within it and

sho rtens the cooking time. Use a lid, micro wave

foil o r a cover. Fo o ds which are to be crispy, e.g .

roasts or chickens, should not be covered. As a

general rule, whatever wo uld be covered in a

co nventional oven should also be covered in a

microwave oven. W hatever wo uld be unco vered

in an o rdinary o ven can also be left uncovered in

a micro wave o ven.

IRREGULAR SHAPED FOOD

Place the thicker, more compacted end o f the food

pointing to wards the o utside. Place vegetables

(such as bro ccoli) with the stalks pointing o utward.

STIRRING

Stirring the food is necessary, since the

microwaves beg in by heating the outer areas. The

temperature is thereby equalised and the food

heats up evenly.

ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD

Place a number of individual po rtions, such as

small pudding moulds, cups or potatoes in their

TIPS AND ADVICE

TURNING

Medium-sized items, such as hamburgers and

steaks, should be turned over once during cooking,

in o rder to shorten the cooking pro cess. Large

items, such as roasts and chickens, must be turned,

since the upper side receives more micro wave

energy and could dry o ut if not turned.

STANDING TIME

Keeping to the standing time is o ne o f the most

impo rtant rules with micro waves. Almost all foods,

which are thawed, heated or co o ked in the

microwave, require a certain amo unt of time to stand,

during which temperature equalisation takes place

and the moisture in the food is evenly distributed.

BROWNING AGENTS

After more than 1 5 minutes' cooking time food acquires

a bro wnness, although this is not comparable to the

deep bro wnness and crispness o btained thro ugh

co nventional co o king. In o rder to obtain an appetising

bro wn co lour yo u can use bro wning agents. For the

most part they simultaneo usly act as seasoning agents.

In the following table yo u will find some suggestions

for substances yo u might use for browning and some

of the uses to which yo u might put them.

BROWNING AGENT

METHOD

HEATING

● Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers

sho uld be removed fro m the aluminium

co ntainer and heated on a plate o r in a dish.

● Remo ve the lids fro m firmly clo sed containers.

● Fo o d should be covered with micro wave foil, a

plate o r cover (obtainable fro m sto res), so that

the surface do es not dry o ut. Drinks need not be

co vered.

● W hen boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea

or milk, place a glass stirrer in the co ntainer.

● If po ssible, stir large quantities fro m time to time,

to ensure that the temperature is evenly

distributed.

● The times are for food at a ro o m temperature o f

20° C. The heating time for food sto red in a

refrigerator should be increased slightly.

● After heating allo w the food to stand for 1-2

minutes, so that the temperature inside the food

can be evenly distributed (standing time).

● The times g iven are g uidelines which can be

varied according to the initial temperature,

weight, water content, fat content or the result

which yo u wish to achieve.

DEFROSTING

Yo ur micro wave is ideal for thawing. Thawing times

are usually co nsiderably shorter than in traditional

methods. Here are a few tips. Take the fro zen item out

of its packaging and place on a plate for thawing.

Boxes and Containers

Bo xes and co ntainers suitable for micro waves are

particularly good for thawing and heating food, since

they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze

(do wn to approx. –4 0 ° C) as well as being heat-

resistant (up to appro x. 22 0 ° C). You can therefore use

the same container to freeze, thaw, heat and even

co o k the food, without having to transfer it.

Covering

Co ver thin parts with small strips o f aluminium foil before

thawing. Thawed o r warm parts sho uld likewise be covered

with aluminium strips during thawing. This stops the thin parts

beco ming to o hot while thicker parts are still fro zen.

Correct setting

It is better to cho o se a setting which is to o lo w rather

than o ne which is to o high. By so doing you will

ensure that the food thaws evenly. If the microwave

setting is too high, the surface of the food will already

have begun to cook while the inside is still fro zen.

TIPS AND ADVICE

Tur ning/stirring

Almost all foods have to be turned o r stirred fro m time

to time. As early as po ssible, separate parts which are

stuck together and rearrange them.

Small amounts

Thaw more quickly and evenly than larger o nes. W e

recommend that yo u freeze po rtions which are as

small as possible. By so do ing yo u will be able to

prepare who le menus quickly and easily.

Foods requiring careful handling

Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread

sho uld only be partially thawed and then left to thaw

co mpletely at ro o m temperature. By so do ing yo u will

avoid the o uter areas beco ming to o hot while the

inside is still frozen.

Standing time

This is particularly important after thawing food, as the

thawing pro cess co ntinues during this period. In the

thawing table you will find the standing times for

various foods. Thick, dense foods require a lo nger

standing time than thinner foods o r food o f a po ro us

nature. If the food has not thawed sufficiently, yo u may

co ntinue thawing it in the microwave oven o r lengthen

the standing time acco rdingly. At the end o f the

standing time you sho uld process the food as soon as

possible and not re-freeze it.

COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES

● W hen buying vegetables try to ensure that, as far

as po ssible, they are of similar size. This is

particularly important when yo u want to cook the

veg etables who le (e.g. boiled potatoes).

● Wash the vegetables before preparing them, clean

them and o nly then weigh the required quantity for

the recipe and cho p them up.

● Seaso n them as yo u wo uld normally, but as a rule

only add salt after cooking.

● Add abo ut 5 tbsps o f water for 5 0 0 g o f

veg etables. Vegetables which are hig h in fibre

require a little more water. You will find info rmation

about this in the table.

● Vegetables are usually co o ked in a dish with a lid.

Those with a high moisture content, e.g. onio ns o r

bo iled po tato es, can be co o ked in microwave foil

without adding water.

● After half the cooking time has elapsed vegetables

sho uld be stirred or turned o ver.

● After co o king allo w the vegetables to stand for

approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature

disperses evenly (standing time).

● The cooking times given are guidelines and depend

upon the weight, initial temperature and condition

of the type of vegetable in question. The fresher the

veg etables, the shorter the cooking times.

COOKING MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY

● W hen buying food items, try to ensure that, as far

as po ssible, they are of similar size. This will ensure

that they are cooked pro perly.

● Befo re preparation wash meat, fish and po ultry

thoro ughly under co ld running water and pat them

dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal.

● Beef sho uld be well hung and have little gristle.

● Even though the pieces may be o f a similar size,

co o king results may vary. This is due, amo ngst

other things, to the kind of food, variations in the fat

and moisture content as well as the temperature

befo re cooking.

● After the food has been co o king for 15 minutes it

acquires a natural bro wnness, which may be

enhanced by the use of a bro wning agent. If, in

addition, you would like the surface to be crisp yo u

sho uld either use the bro wning dish o r sear the food

on your cooker and finish cooking it in yo ur

microwave. By do ing this yo u will simultaneously

obtain a brown base for making a sauce.

● Turn large pieces of meat, fish o r po ultry half way

thro ugh the cooking time, so that they are co o ked

evenly fro m all sides.

● After co o king cover roasts with aluminium foil and

allow them to stand for approx. 1 0 minutes (standing

time). During this period the roast carries on cooking

and the liquid is evenly distributed, so that when it is

carved a minimum amo unt o f juice is lo st.

DEFROSTING AND COOKING

Deep-fro zen dishes can be thawed and cooked at the

same time in o ne pro cess in yo ur micro wave. You will

find some examples in the table. Do take note,

however, o f the g eneral advice given o n "heating" and

"thawing" food. Please refer to the manufacturer' s

instructions o n the packaging when preparing deep-

frozen dishes. These usually contain precise cooking

times and offer advice on preparation.
