Heating

Warming and heating are special characteristics of microwaves. Re-
frigerated liquids and foods can be easily warmed up to room or eating
temperature 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/+30SEC./CONFIRM button pressed again.
Refrigerated food needs a longer cooking time than that with room
temperature.
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.
