Food and its packaging and containers may catch fire. Never heat food in heat-retaining pack-
aging. Do not leave food unattended while it is
heating in containers made of plastic, pa- per or other combustible materials.
Never set the microwave power too high or the cooking time too long. Follow the in- structions provided in this user manual.
Never use the microwave to dry food. Never defrost or heat food with a low water
content, such as bread, at too high a mi- crowave power or for too long.
Cooking oil may catch fire. Never use the microwave to heat cooking
oil on its own.
WARNING Risk of explosion! Liquids and other food may easily explode when in containers that have been tightly sealed. Never heat liquids or other food in contain-
ers that have been tightly sealed.
WARNING Risk of burns! Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during heating, or even afterwards. Never cook eggs in their shell or heat hard-
boiled eggs in their shell. Never cook shellfish or crustaceans. Always prick the yolk of eggs before mi-
crowaving. The skin of foods that have a peel or skin,
such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.
Heat is not distributed evenly through baby food. Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always remove the lid or teat. Stir or shake well after heating. Check the temperature before giving the
food or drink to a child. Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become hot. Always use oven gloves to remove cook-
ware or accessories from the cooking com- partment.
Airtight packaging may burst when food is heated. Always follow the instructions on the pack-
aging. Always use oven gloves to remove the
dishes from the cooking compartment. The accessible parts of the appliance become hot during operation. Never touch these hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance. Using the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose is dangerous. This is be- cause, for instance, overheated slippers, pil- lows filled with grain or cereal, sponges and damp cleaning cloths, etc., may cause burns to the skin. Never dry food or clothing with the appli-
ance. Never heat up slippers, pillows filled with
grain or cereal, sponges, damp cleaning cloths or similar with the appliance.
The appliance must only be used to pre- pare food and drink.
WARNING Risk of scalding! There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Ex- ercise caution even when only gently shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil over and splatter. Always place a spoon in the container
when heating liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
WARNING Risk of injury! Unsuitable cookware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic cookware can have small perfora- tions in the handles and lid. These perfora- tions conceal a cavity below. If moisture pen- etrates this cavity, it could cause the cook- ware to crack. Only use microwave-safe cookware.

14 How it works Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have tailored these recommendations to your appli- ance.
14.1What is the best way to proceed? In this section, you will find out the best way to proceed step-by-step in order to be able to make optimum use of the recommended settings. You will get information on many meals, with details and tips on how to best use and set your appliance.
WARNING Risk of burns! Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become hot. Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or ac-
cessories from the cooking compartment.
Note: The times given in the tables are guidelines and depend on the quality, temperature and consistency of the food. 1. Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary
cookware from the cooking compartment. 2. Select a type of food from the recommended set-
tings. 3. Add the food to a suitable tableware.
"Microwave-safe cookware and accessories", Page 9
4. Always place the cookware on the turntable. 5. Set the appliance according to the recommended
settings. Time ranges are often specified in the recommen- ded settings. Set the shorter cooking time first. If ne- cessary, increase the cooking time. If two mi- crowave power settings and times are specified in the tables, set the first microwave power setting and cooking time first and, after the signal, set the second.
Tip: If you want to cook quantities that deviate from those specified in the tables, set approximately double the time for double the amount.
14.2Tips for defrosting and heating Follow these tips for good results when defrosting and heating.
Issue Tip The food should be de- frosted, hot or cooked once the time has elapsed.
Set a longer cooking time. Larger quantities and food which is piled high require longer times.
Issue Tip Once the time has elapsed, the food should not be overheated at the edge and cooked in the middle.
Stir the food occasion- ally.
Set a lower microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, poultry or meat should not be de- frosted on the outside only but still frozen in the middle.
Set a lower microwave power setting.
If you are defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
The food should not be too dry.
Set a lower microwave power setting.
Set a shorter cooking time.
Cover the food. Add more liquid.
14.3Defrosting With your appliance you can defrost frozen food.
Defrosting food 1. Place the frozen food in an open container on the
turntable. Delicate parts, such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts, can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the sides of the cooking compart- ment.
2. Start the operation. You can remove the foil halfway through the defrost- ing time.
3. Note: Liquid is produced when you defrost meat and poultry. Drain off any liquid when turning and under no cir- cumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
4. Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it defrosts. Turn large pieces of food several times.
5. To even out the temperature, leave the defrosted food to stand at room temperature for approx. 10 20 minutes. You can remove the giblets from poultry at this point. You can continue to cook the meat even if a small section of it is still frozen in the centre.
