5.1 General information about
using the appliance
• 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.
Cooking
• 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.
