Quick Start
You wish to heat food or drinks shortly at the highest power setting?
Quick-start the microwave by directly pressing the START button. The
cooking process will start immediately, whereby each time you press the
button, cooking time will be extended by 10, 30 or 60 seconds (see "Oper-
ating the Microwave").
The power setting of the microwave is thereby 100 %.
Heating
Warming and heating are special characteristics of microwaves. Refriger-
ated liquids and foods can be easily warmed up to room or eating temper-
ature without having to use a lot of pots.
The heating times in the following table are for reference only, as the time
depends very much on the original temperature and the texture of the
food. It is therefore recommended to check once in a while whether the
food is hot enough.

Cooking
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 quan-
tity 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 centre 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.
