Hands-on Cooking Tips
Follow the guidelines given in the cooking table and recipe. Monitor the
cooking process if you do not yet have as much experience.
You may open the door of the device at any time. The device will turn off
automatically.
It will only continue operation when the door is closed and the START
button pressed again.
Refrigerated food needs a longer cooking time than that with room tem-
perature.
The chunkier the food, the longer the cooking time. Meat cut in bigger
pieces, for example, requires longer cooking than meat of the same
quantity cut into strips. It is recommended cooking larger amounts of food
at maximum power and having it simmer at medium power for a more
evenly cooking.
Lower foodstuffs cook faster than higher ones; therefore distribute the
food as low as possible. Place thinner parts such as chicken legs or fish
filets in the center or leave them overlapping.
Smaller amounts cook faster than bigger ones. The following rule of
thumb applies:
Double amount = almost double time
Half amount = half time
If you cannot find the exact cooking time for a dish, you may apply the
following rule:
Per 100 g approx. 1 minute cooking
All foods that you cover on a common stove should be covered in the
microwave as well.
A cover will prevent the food from running dry. An upside-down plate,
greaseproof paper or microwave cooking foil are all suitable as covers.
Cook food that should be getting a crust without cover.

Grilling
Use suitable heat resistant utensils. You can also place the food on the
supplied baking tray, which you place on the glass turntable.
It is not necessary to preheat the grill rack since the grill generates radiant
heat immediately.
Proceed as follows for roasting and scalloping:
1. Press the GRILL button once.
2. Adjust the required grilling time from 10 seconds to 95 minutes, by
turning the knob to the right or left.
3. Press the START button.
NOTE:
We recommend turning the food (e.g. meat, sausage) after approx. half
of the cooking time has elapsed. The fan continues running when the
cooking process is paused.
