- Using the microwave function
- Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain are well suitable for use in
microwave appliances.
- Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant up to at least 180° C. Cooking bags etc.
should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.
Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are
available at most kitchenware dealers.
- Using the grill function
- When using the grill function, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for
conventional ovens may be used. Do not use any plastic items when using the grill.
- The food to be cooked is put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the
glass turntable.
- Using the microwave/grill combination function
- When using the microwave/grill combination, the microwave and grill functions are
activated alternately. The containers or plates must therefore be suitable for use in a
microwave appliance as well as being heat-resistant. Because of the relatively high
temperatures, plastic items must not be used. The grill rack of this unit is suitable for
use with the microwave oven. Make sure that the container or plate used does not
contain any metal parts.

- Timer
- By using the timer, an operating time of up to 30 minutes can be selected.
- When setting the cooking time to less than 2 minutes, 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'.
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.
