When a combination of microwave power and cooking time (one
stage) ends, the next stage will be executed
CHILD SAFETY LOCK
The child safety lock prevents young children from using the
appliance. The appliance cannot be operated as long as the
child safety lock is active. The child safety lock is activated by
holding the Pause/Cancel button pressed for 3 seconds. A beep

To deactivate the child safety lock again, press and hold the
Pause/ Cancel button for 3 seconds. The symbol will then
disappear from the display.
TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION
When preparing food in the appliance, the following basic rules
apply:
Cooking time
• Smaller quantities of food cook more rapidly than large
quantities. If the amount of food is doubled, the preparation
time must be more than doubled correspondingly.
• Small pieces of meat, small sh and chopped vegetables
cook more quickly than large pieces. For the same reason,
it is recommended, if, for example, you wish to make
goulash, stews or similar, that the meat be cut into pieces
no bigger than 2 x 2 cm.
• The compactness of the food is also very important for the
cooking time. The more compact the food is, the longer it
takes to cook.
• Whole joints require a longer cooking time than stewed
dishes.
• A joint requires a longer time than a dish using minced
meat.
• The colder the food, the longer the cooking time needs to
be. Food at room temperature will therefore cook faster than
food from a fridge or freezer.
• When cooking vegetables, the cooking time depends on the
freshness of the vegetables. Therefore, check the condition
of the vegetables and add or deduct a little time accordingly.
• The short cooking time when using an appliance means that
the food does not overcook. If required, a little water can be
added.
• When cooking sh and vegetables, you only need to use
the minimum of water.
Microwave power
The choice of power setting depends on the condition of the
food to be cooked. In most cases, the food is cooked on full
power.
• Full power is used, among other things, for reheating food
quickly, boiling water or similar.
• Low power is principally used to defrost food and prepare
dishes containing cheese, milk or egg. (Whole eggs in their
shell cannot be cooked in the appliance, as there is a risk
of the eggs exploding.) In addition, lower power settings are
also used to nish o and to retain the excellent aroma of a
dish.
General information on cooking
• If the whole meal is to be prepared in the appliance, it is
recommended that you start with the most compact foods,
such as potatoes. Once these are ready, cover them while
the rest of the food is prepared.
• Most food should be covered. A close-tting cover retains
the steam and moisture, which shortens the cooking time
in the appliance. This is particularly the case when cooking
vegetables, sh dishes and casseroles.
• Covering food also distributes the heat better, thus ensuring
rapid and excellent results.
• In order to achieve the best possible results, it is important
to position the food correctly, as the microwave rays are
most powerful in the centre of the appliance. If, for example,
you are baking potatoes, you should position them along
the edge of the glass turntable so that they cook evenly.
• In order to cook compact dishes such as meat and poultry
evenly, it is important to turn the meat a few times.
• You can use the appliance for baking, although not recipes
that include yeast.
• When preparing food with a thick skin, e.g. potatoes,
apples, whole squash or chestnuts, you should prick holes
in the skin to prevent the food from bursting during cooking.
• When preparing food in a “traditional” oven, you normally
avoid opening the oven door as much as possible. This is
not the case with this appliance: no energy or signicant
heat is lost. In other words, you can open the oven door and
look at the food as often as you want.
USING UTENSILS WHEN PREPARING
FOOD
• Before starting to prepare food in containers, you should
check that the containers you wish to use are made of a
suitable material, as some types of plastic may become
limp and deform, while some types of ceramics may crack
(particularly when heating small quantities of food).
• In order to test if a container is suitable for use in a
microwave oven:
• Place the container in the appliance.
• At the same time, place a half-full glass of water in the
container.
• Start the appliance. Allow it to run for 15-30 seconds on
maximum power.
• If the container becomes very hot to the touch, avoid using
it.
