Timer
- The timer features two scales. The outer scale is for defrosting according to weight in kgs. The
inner scale is used for setting the cooking or heating-up times.
- By using the timer, an operating time of up to 30 minutes can be selected.
- If the cooking time is to less than 5 minutes (or if the weight is less than 250 g), turn the knob
to a greater value first and then turn it slowly back to the desired setting.
- Once the timer is set, operation starts automatically when the door is closed.
- The appliance can be switched off at any time by setting the timer back to '0' .
- For defrosting, set the power selection switch to 'Defrosting' . Use the outer scale on the timer
to set the weight of the food to be defrosted. The adjustable values for defrosting are
approximate only, and may differ from those actually required. If defrosting is not complete
after the elapsed time, repeat the process with a relatively shorter time setting.
The cooking time generally depends on several factors.
- The microwaves penetrate the surface of the food. For bigger pieces of food, a longer
cooking time is therefore needed than for the same amount of food if cut into pieces. The
food should also be evenly distributed on the plate.
- To ensure that any germs in the food are safely destroyed, the food needs to be exposed to
high temperatures for a sufficiently long period.
- As a basic rule: half the amount
–
Operating sequence
- Place the food to be heated into a suitable container. Place the container onto the turntable in
the oven.
- When food is treated with microwaves, it should be covered to prevent it from drying out.
Glass or plastic covers especially designed for use with microwave appliances are available at
most kitchenware dealers.
- When using the microwave/grill combination or the grill, do not cover the food to be cooked.
When grilling, place the grill rack directly on the glass turntable and place the food on the grill
