You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the out-
side but not defrosted in the middle.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the door window, interior walls
and floor. This is normal. This does not affect how the
microwave operates. Wipe away the condensation after

Tips for grilling
Notes
All the values given are guidelines and can vary depending
■
on the properties of your food.
Bread for toasting (pre-toasting)
Toast with topping
Soup with toppings,
e.g. onion soup
Combined grill and microwave
Notes
The combined operation is particularly suitable for cooking

bakes and gratins.
Always place the dish on the turntable and do not cover the
■
food.
Use a high-sided dish for roasting. This keeps the cooking
■
compartment cleaner.

turn.
