It is particularlyimportant that the oven doorcloses properly and that thereis no damage to the: (1) door(bent), (2) hinges and latches(broken or loosened), (3) doorseals and sealing surfaces.The oven should not beadjusted or repaired byanyone except properlyqualified service personnel.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS8
~Always ensure that food issufficiently heated.Many factors will affect theoverall cooking time, includingthe type, amount and nature ofthe food, its initial temperature,and changes to the recipe.Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are onlydestroyed by thorough cooking.Therefore, when cooking orreheating food, it is particularlyimportant that food is heated atadequate temperatures for asufficient amount of time. Whenin doubt, select a longer cookingor reheating time.~It is important that enoughheat is allowed to spread evenlythroughout the food beingcooked.This can be achieved by stirringand/or turning the food, and byobserving a sufficiently longstanding time, which should beadded to the time needed forcooking, reheating or defrosting.Standing times are "resting"times in which the heat isuniformly distributed in the food.~Always remember that timesfor cooking, reheating anddefrosting in a microwave ovenare usually considerably shorterthan in the case of traditionalmethods of food preparation.Excessively long cooking timescan lead to food drying out andburning, or may even cause it tocatch fire.Do not dry bread, rolls, flowers,herbs, etc., in the microwaveoven as these could also catchfire.~Do not use the microwaveoven to heat up pads orcushions filled with cherry pits,wheat grains, lavender or gel,such as those used inaromatherapy. These pads canignite when heated even afterthey have been removed fromthe appliance.~The microwave oven is notsuitable for cleaning ordisinfecting items.Items can get extremely hot andthere is a danger of burningwhen the item is removed fromthe appliance. Fire hazard!IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS9
~The microwave oven can bedamaged if it is used withoutfood or when loaded incorrectly.Therefore, do not use theappliance to warm empty dishesor to dry herbs or other similaritems.~Always ensure that food or abrowning dish has been placedin the microwave oven and thatthe turntable is in position beforeturning on the appliance.~Do not cook or reheat food orliquids in sealed containers, jarsor bottles.Otherwise, pressure will build upand can cause the bottle orcontainer to explode.~When heating food anddrinks, remember that the heat iscreated in the food itself, andthat the cookware will normallybe cooler. The dish is onlywarmed by the heat of the food.The temperature of the containeris not an indication of thetemperature of the food or liquidit contains. Check the food forthe desired temperature afterremoving it. This is particularlyimportant when preparing foodfor babies. Shake or stir babymilk and food thoroughly afterheating, and try it yourself first toensure that it will not burn thebaby.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS10
~The boiling stick ensures thatliquids heat up evenly, allowingbubbles to form at the right time.When boiling and, in particular,when reheating liquids usingmicrowave power without theboiling wand, the boiling point ofthe liquid may be reachedwithout the typical production ofbubbles. The liquid does not boilevenly throughout. This "boilingdelay" can cause a suddenbuildup of bubbles when thecookware is removed from themicrowave oven or when it isshaken. This can ultimately leadto the liquid boiling oversuddenly and explosively. Burnhazard!The formation of bubbles can beso strong that the pressureforces the appliance door open.Risk of injury and damage!When reheating liquids, alwaysplace the boiling wand suppliedinto the cup or glass.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS11
~To avoid fueling any flames,do not open the appliance doorif you see smoke coming fromthe food in the oven interior.Interrupt the current process byturning off the appliance with theOn/Off button and disconnectingit from the power.Do not open the door until thesmoke has dissipated.~Never leave the microwaveoven unattended when cookingwith oil or fat.~Due to the high temperaturesradiated by the microwave oven,nearby flammable objects cancatch fire while the appliance isin use. Do not use the microwaveoven to heat the room.~If using alcohol in yourrecipes, please be aware thathigh temperatures can cause thealcohol to vaporize and even toignite on hot surfaces. Do notheat undiluted alcohol in theappliance. Fire hazard!~Do not use the microwaveoven to heat up or can food insealed containers, such ascanisters or jars, as pressure willbuild up in the container andmay cause it to explode.~Food which is stored in theoven interior or left there to bekept warm can dry out, and themoisture released can lead tocorrosion damage in themicrowave oven. The controlpanel, countertop andsurrounding cabinetry can alsobe damaged.Always cover food that is left inthe appliance.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS12
~To avoid corrosion on thestainless steel surfaces of themicrowave oven, thoroughlywipe away any splashes on theinterior walls from food or liquidscontaining salt immediately afterthey occur.~The oven interior can get hotduring use. Burn hazard! Cleanthe appliance interior andaccessories as soon as theyhave cooled down. Waiting toolong can make cleaningunnecessarily difficult and, inextreme cases, impossible.Under certain conditions, stronggrease and gunk buildup candamage the appliance and evenbe dangerous. Fire hazard!Please follow the instructions oncleaning in "Cleaning and care".~Fire hazard! Usingmicrowave power withplasticware that is not microwavesafe can cause it to melt anddamage the appliance.Do not use any containers,dishware or utensils made of orcontaining metal. Do not usealuminum foil, lead crystalglassware, temperature-sensitiveplastics, wooden dishes, metalclips, plastic clips with metalparts or paper twist tiescontaining wire. Do not usebowls with milled rims, or plasticcontainers without a fullyremoved aluminum lid (see"Suitable cookware formicrowave ovens").These items can be damaged orcause a fire hazard.~Do not leave the microwaveoven unattended when reheatingor cooking food in disposablecontainers made of plastic,paper or other flammablematerials.Before using disposablecontainers, make sure they aresuitable for use in microwaveovens. See "Suitable containersfor microwave ovens".IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS13
~Do not reheat food in themicrowave oven in heat-retainingbags intended for normal ovens,such as bags used for grilledchicken.~Eggs can be cooked withouttheir shells using microwavepower only if the yolk membranehas been punctured severaltimes first. Otherwise, thepressure may cause the eggyolk to explode.~When eggs are cooked withtheir shells in the microwaveoven, they may explode, evenafter being removed from theoven interior. Only cook eggs intheir shells in the microwaveusing a specially designed eggboiler.Do not reheat hard-boiled eggsin the microwave oven.~Food with a thick skin or peel,such as tomatoes, sausage,potatoes and eggplant, shouldbe pierced or cut in severalplaces before heating in order toallow steam to escape andprevent the food from bursting.~Cookware with hollow knobsor handles is not suitable for usein the microwave. Moisturegathered in the hollow recessescan cause pressure to build up,and the item can explode(unless the recesses aresufficiently ventilated). Werecommend that you do not usethese types of dishes for cookingin the microwave oven.~To check the foodtemperature, interrupt thecooking process.Only use a thermometerspecifically approved for usewith food to measure thetemperature. Do not usethermometers containingmercury or liquid, as these arenot suitable for use at very hightemperatures and can breakeasily.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS14
~Do not use a steam cleaner toclean the microwave oven. Thesteam may reach electricalcomponents and cause a shortcircuit.Stainless steel surfaces~Adhesives will damage thecoated stainless steel surfaceand cause it to lose itsresistance to grease and grime.Do not use sticky notes,transparent adhesive tape,masking tape or other types ofadhesive on the stainless steelsurface.~Stainless steel is easilyscratched.

How does a microwave ovenwork?The microwave oven contains a high-frequency tube called a magnetron. Itconverts electrical energy intoelectromagnetic waves calledmicrowaves. These microwaves arethen distributed evenly throughout theoven interior and reflected by its metalwalls, which allows the microwaves toreach and penetrate the food from allsides. Distribution of the microwaves isoptimized by an activated turntable.In order for microwaves to reach thefood, they must be able to penetratethe cookware being used. Microwavescan penetrate porcelain, glass,cardboard and plastics, but not metal.Therefore, you should not usecontainers which are either made ofmetal or contain it in any form, such asgold or silver trim. The metal reflectsthe microwaves, which may causesparking to occur. The microwavescannot be absorbed.The microwaves will pass through anysuitable cookware and find their waydirectly into the food. All food containsmoisture molecules which, whensubjected to microwave energy, beginto oscillate at a rate of 2.5 billion timesper second. The friction caused bythese vibrations creates heat, whichfirst starts developing around theoutside of the food and then slowlypenetrates it toward the center. Themore water a food contains, the faster itis reheated or cooked.Because the heat is produced directlyin the food:–Food can generally be cooked withlittle liquid or oil.–Defrosting, heating and cooking isfaster than using a conventionaloven.–Nutrients, such as vitamins andminerals, are generally retained.–The color, texture and taste of foodare not impaired.The production of microwaves stopswhenever the program is interrupted orthe microwave oven door is opened.During operation, the closed and intactdoor prevents microwaves fromescaping the appliance.Principle of operation20
What can a microwave ovendo?With a microwave oven, food can becooked, reheated or defrosted veryquickly.You can use the microwave oven in thefollowing ways:–Food can be defrosted, reheated orcooked by entering a power settingand a time.–Deep-frozen ready-made meals canbe defrosted and then reheated orcooked.– The microwave oven can also beused as a "little kitchen sidekick," e.g.to proof dough, to melt chocolateand butter, to dissolve gelatin, toprepare glazes or to can smallamounts of fruit, vegetables andmeat.What operating modes doesthe microwave have?Microwave Solo modeSuitable for defrosting, reheating andcooking.Automatic ProgramsYou can choose from the followingautomatic programs:–Nine defrosting programs():Ad1toAd9),– Three cooking programs for frozenfood()2:Ac1toAc3)– And four cooking programs for freshfood(2:Ac4toAc7).These programs are weight-dependent,which means that you will need enterthe weight of the food.The weight can be displayed in grams(g) or pounds (lb). See "Changingsettings" for more information.In addition to these, there is also theautomatic Popcorn program Æ.Functions21
Microwaves–are reflected by metal,– pass through glass, porcelain,plastic and cardboard,–and are absorbed by food.,Fire hazard!Cookware that is not microwavesafe can be destroyed and maydamage the microwave oven.Material and shapeThe material and shape of thecookware used affect the reheating andcooking time. Flat cookware with acircular or oval shape generally workbest, since the food will heat moreevenly than in square or rectangularcookware.Cookware with hollow knobs orhandles in which moisture canaccumulate is not suitable for use inmicrowave ovens, except whenthese hollow recesses aresufficiently ventilated.Otherwise, pressure can buildup,which may cause the recesses toexplode. Risk of injury!MetalMetal containers, aluminum foil,metal utensils, and dishwarecontaining metal (decoration suchas gold rims or cobalt blue) must notbe used in the microwave oven.Metal reflects microwaves and thushinders the cooking process.Avoid using plastic containerswhere the aluminum lid has notbeen completely removed.Suitable cookware for microwave ovens22
Exceptions:–Ready-made meals in aluminum foiltrayscan be defrosted and reheated in themicrowave oven. Important: Removethe lid and make sure the foil tray is atleast 1" (2.5 cm) from the oven walls atall times.Since food will only be heated from thetop in this case, it is better to remove itfrom the aluminum foil tray and transferit to a microwave safe cookware. Theheat distribution will then be more even.When using aluminum foil trays,crackling and arcing can occur.Make sure that the aluminum foil isat least 1" (2.5 cm) from the ovenwalls at all times. It may not touchthe walls.– Metal meat skewers or clampsThese should only be used if they arevery small in comparison to the size ofthe cut of meat.GlasswareHeat-resistant glass or ceramic glassare ideal for use with microwave power.Crystal glassware is unsuitablebecause it contains lead whichcould cause the glass to crack inthe microwave oven.PorcelainPorcelain is a suitable material.Do not use porcelain that has metaltrim, such as a gold edge, or hollowknobs or handles.EarthenwareDecorated earthenware is only suitableif the decoration is beneath the glaze.Earthenware can get very hot.Glazes and colorsSome glazes and colors containmetal substances.This makes the dishes they coverunsuitable for use in the microwaveoven.WoodWooden containers are not suitable.Moisture contained in the woodevaporates during the cookingprocess, causing the wood to dryand crack.Suitable cookware for microwave ovens23
PlasticsPlasticware must only be used in theMicrowave Solo mode.It must be heat-resistant and able towithstand temperatures of at least230°F (110°C). Otherwise, theplastic may melt and fuse with thefood.Special microwave-safe plasticware isalso available from retail stores.Plasticware made of melamine is notsuitable for use in the microwave oven.It absorbs microwave energy andbecomes very hot. Before purchasingplasticware, make sure the material ismicrowave safe.Plastic cooking bags can be usedfor cooking and reheating food.They should be pierced beforehandso that steam can escape. Thisprevents a buildup of steam andreduces the risk of the bag bursting.Specially designed steam cookingbags that do not need to be piercedare also available. Follow theinstructions listed on the packaging.Do not use metal clips, plastic clipswith metal parts or paper twist tiescontaining wire. They can ignitewhen heated.Disposable containersDisposable containers made of plasticmust meet the requirements indicatedunder "Plastics" to be suitable for use inthe microwave.Do not leave the applianceunattended when reheating orcooking food in disposablecontainers made of plastic, paper orother flammable materials.Protect the environment by avoiding theuse of disposable containers.Suitable cookware for microwave ovens24
The plate cover–Prevents too much steam fromescaping, especially during longerreheating times.–Speeds up the cooking process.–Prevents food from drying out.–Helps keep the oven interior clean.Always cover food with the microwave-safe cover supplied.You can also use microwave-safeplastic wrap in place of the cover.Use plastic wrap that is recommendedfor use in a microwave oven. Heat cancause common household plastic wrapto become deformed and fuse with thefood.,Sealed containers and glassjars, such as jars of baby food, mustbe opened before they are placedin the microwave oven.Do not cook or reheat food or liquidsin sealed containers, jars or bottles.With baby bottles, the screw topand nipple must be removed.Otherwise, pressure builds up whichcan cause the bottle or container toexplode.Do not use a lid or cover if:– Food coated with breadcrumbs isbeing cooked.– Cooking meals which are to be givena crisp finish.,The plate cover must only everbe used with the Microwave Solomode.Because the cover can onlywithstand temperatures of up to230°F (110°C), it should only beused in the microwave oven andsolely in the Microwave Solo mode.At temperatures in excess of 230°F(110°C), the plastic can melt andfuse with the food.The cover should not form a sealwith the cookware. If the cover isused with cookware that only has anarrow diameter, there may not beenough room for condensation toescape through the side openingsof the cover. The cover will overheatand may begin to melt.Suitable cookware for microwave ovens25

Select the following microwave powerlevels to reheat food and drinks:Drinks .....................900WFood ......................600WFood for babies and toddlers . . . 450 W,Be sure that baby/toddler fooddoes not become too hot. Heat foronly 1/2to 1 minute at 450 W.Tips for reheatingAlways use a lid or cover for reheatingfood, except when a drier finish isdesired, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.,Always remove the lids fromjars, especially jars of baby food.Remove the screw cap and nipplebefore warming baby bottles.When reheating liquids, place theboiling stick supplied with theappliance into the cup or glass.Never reheat hard boiled eggs in amicrowave oven, even without theshell. The eggs can explode.Food taken straight from the refrigeratorwill take longer to reheat than foodstored at room temperature. Thecooking time required depends on thetexture of the food, its initialtemperature and the amount to becooked.Always ensure that food issufficiently reheated.If you are unsure whether a sufficientlyhigh temperature has been reached,continue reheating a little longer.Larger amounts of food should bestirred or turned from time to timeduring cooking. Stir the food from theoutside towards the middle, as foodheats more quickly from the outside.After reheatingBe careful when removing dishesfrom the appliance. They may behot.Although heat is not normally producedin the cookware itself by themicrowaves (apart from stoneware),heat is transferred from the food to thecookware, which can cause thecookware to become hot.Allow food to stand at roomtemperature for a few minutes afterreheating so that the heat can spreadevenly throughout the food and so thata consistent temperature is reached.,After reheating food/drinks,especially for babies and smallchildren, stir it or shake thecookware and check that thetemperature does not pose anydanger.Reheat44
Place the food in a microwave-safecookware and cover it.When cooking, it is recommended toinitially select a power level of 900 Wand then, when the food is hot, reducethe power level to 450 W for a moregentle continued cooking.For dishes such as rice or pudding,first select a power level of 900 W, andthen reduce it to 150 W for simmering.Tips for cookingThe cooking time for vegetablesdepends on their texture.Fresh vegetables contain more waterthan vegetables which have beenstored and usually cook more quickly.Add a little water to vegetables whichhave been kept stored.Food taken straight from the refrigeratorwill take longer to cook than food whichhas been kept at room temperature.Stir or turn food from time to time duringcooking to help it cook more evenly.Ensure that foods that spoil quickly,such as fish, are thoroughly cookedfor an appropriate length of time.Food with a thick skin or peel, suchas tomatoes, sausages, potatoes(cooked in their skins) and eggplant,should be pierced or the skin cut inseveral places before cooking to allowsteam to escape and prevent the foodfrom bursting.When cooking eggs in their shells inthe microwave oven, you must use aspecially designed egg boiler.Otherwise, the eggs will explode,even after being removed from theoven interior.Eggs can be cooked without their shellsin the microwave oven only if the yolkmembrane has been punctured severaltimes first. The pressure couldotherwise cause the egg yolk toexplode.After cookingBe careful when removing dishesfrom the appliance. They may behot.Although heat is not normally producedin the cookware itself by themicrowaves (apart from stoneware),heat is transferred from the food to thecontainer, which can cause thecontainer to become hot.Allow food to stand at roomtemperature for a few minutes (standingtime) after cooking so that the heat canspread evenly throughout the food andso that a consistent temperature isreached.Cooking45
Do not refreeze partially or fullydefrosted food. Consume defrostedfood as soon as possible, as it willlose its nutritional value and spoil ifleft for too long. Defrosted food mayonly be refrozen after it has beencooked.DefrostSelect the following microwave powersettings to defrost food:–80 Wfor defrosting very delicate food,such as cream, butter, cream cakesand cheese.– 150 Wfor defrosting all other foods.Remove the frozen food from itspackaging and place in a microwave-safe container. Do not cover. Turn, stiror separate the food about halfwaythrough the defrosting time.To defrost meat, unpack the frozenmeat and place it on an overturnedplate in a glass or porcelain cookwareso that the meat juice can drip off andbe collected. Turn from time to timeduring defrosting.When defrosting poultry, be sure tostrictly observe food hygiene rules.Do not use the liquid from thedefrosted poultry.Risk of salmonella poisoning!Always follow USDA guidelines onfood safety.Meat, poultry and fish do not need tobe fully defrosted before cooking.Defrost the food until its surface is softenough to accommodate herbs andseasoning.Defrosting followed byreheating or cookingDeep-frozen food can be defrosted andimmediately reheated or cooked.After defrosting, select 900 W and then450 W.Remove the food from its packagingand place in a covered microwave-safecontainer for defrosting and reheatingor cooking. Exception: Ground beefshould be left uncovered while cooking.Foods containing large amounts ofliquid, such as soups and vegetables,should be stirred several times duringthe process. Carefully separate andturn slices of meat halfway through.Turn pieces of fish at the halfway mark.After defrosting followed byreheating or cookingAllow the food to stand at roomtemperature for a few minutes so thatthe heat can spread evenly throughoutthe food.Defrosting / Defrosting and reheating or cooking46
You can use the microwave to cansmall amounts of fruit, vegetables andmeat in glass jars. Prepare the items asyou normally would.Do not fill the jars more than 1" (2.5 cm)below the rim.Only use clear adhesive tape ormicrowave-safe clips to close thejars.Never use metal clips or jars withscrew-on lids.Do not use canisters for canning.When canisters are used, excesspressure is produced which maycause the canisters to explode. Riskof injury and damage!For best results, use no more than four1 pint (1/2- -liter) jars at a time whencanning. Place the jars on the turntable.Set the power level to 900 W and bringthe jar contents to a boil. The amount oftime required for this depends on:–The initial temperature of thecontents.–The number of jars.The amount of time required for thecontents in all jars to start bubblingevenly is as follows:1jar..............approx. 3 minutes2 jars .............approx. 6 minutes3 jars .............approx. 9 minutes4 jars ............approx. 12 minutesThis is enough time for canning fruitand cucumbers.For vegetables, reduce the power to450 W once the contents startbubbling.Cook- Carrots for approx. 15 minutes- Peas for approx. 25 minutes.After canningRemove jars from the oven interior,cover with a towel and leave to set in alocation protected from drafts forapprox. 24 hours.Remove the clips or the adhesive tapeand make sure that all glasses aresealed properly.Canning47
