The temperature and cooking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes and the quality
and quantity of the ingredients used.
Your appliance may cook differently to the appliance you had before. The hints below show recommended heat‐
ing functions and settings for cooking time for specific types of the food.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
For more cooking recommendations refer to cooking tables on our website. To find the Cooking Hints, check the
PNC number on the rating plate on the front frame of the appliance cavity.

Stir liquid dishes from time to time.

10.3 Microwave suitable cookware and materials
For the microwave use only suitable cookware and materials. Use below table as a reference.
Check the cookware / material specification before use.
84 ENGLISH
Cook food covered. If you want to keep a
crust cook food without a cover.
Do not overcook the dishes by setting the
power and time too high. The food can dry
out, burn or cause fire.
Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or
snails in their shells, because they can burst.
Pierce the yolk of fried egg before reheating
it.
Pierce food with skin or peel several times
before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
After you turn off the appliance, take the food
out and let it stand for a few minutes to allow
the heat distribute evenly.
Microwave defrosting
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it, or on
a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the
defrosting liquid can leak out.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a higher
microwave power.
