Operating the Microwave
1. Place the food to be heated in a suitable piece of tableware.
2. Open the door and place the vessel in the middle of the glass plate.
Then close the door. (For safety reasons the oven only operates
when the door is tightly closed.)
3. Press the MICRO button once / repeatedly to select the desired micro-
wave power.

4. Use the dial control to select a cooking time between 10 seconds and
60 minutes.
5. Press the START button. The cooking time depends on the quantity
and constituency of the contents of the oven. With a little practice you
will soon learn to estimate the cooking time.
NOTE:
• Each time you press the START button, the operating period is
extended.
- Up to 5 minutes by 10 seconds.
- From 5 minutes to 10 minutes by 30 seconds.
- Over 10 minutes by 60 seconds.
• Preparation of food in a microwave oven is very much faster than in
a conventional cooker. Set the cooking time to a low level if you are
not sure and continue cooking again if necessary.
• Please note: A cover should be placed over the food when operat-
ing the microwave.
Pause or Cancel Cooking
• To pause cooking, press STOP / CANCEL button once or open the
door.
• To continue cooking, close the door and press the START button
again.
• In order to fully stop the cooking process, press the STOP / CANCEL
button twice, thereby resetting all program settings.
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
"Operating the Microwave").
The power setting of the microwave is thereby 100 %.
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 appliance at any time. The appliance 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
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.
