Description of the appliance  
Accessories supplied  
Glass tray  
The glass tray is suitable for use with all  
cooking functions.  
Side runners  
The side runners can be fitted to the  
oven walls to hold the glass tray and  
the grilling rack. When dishes are  
placed directly on the turntable, the  
microwave can be used without the  
side runners.  
When grilling directly on the rack, the  
glass tray should be placed underneath  
the rack to catch any fat or juices.  
Gourmet plate  
The gourmet plate is a round, non-stick  
grilling plate. It can be used to heat  
snacks or small meals quickly, whilst  
maintaining crispness.  
The side runners are supplied as a  
separate accessory, and have to be  
fitted if required.  
Cover  
The cover supplied may only be used  
in the microwave-solo mode.  
It prevents the food from drying out and  
the oven from becoming dirty, and it  
accelerates the heating process.  
Boiling rod  
When heating liquids, the boiling rod  
provided should be placed into the  
container. It helps liquids to heat evenly.  
Grilling rack  
The grilling rack is suitable for use  
when grilling with the addition of  
microwave power. It must, however,  
not be used in Microwave Solo  
mode as this would cause damage.  
To avoid the risk of using it in  
Microwave Solo mode it should not be  
left in the oven cavity when not in use  
for grilling.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead.  
Extension leads do not guarantee the  
required safety of the appliance (e.g.  
danger of overheating).  
The appliance is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
- it is switched off at the wall socket and  
the plug removed.  
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
- or the screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable).  
The electrical safety of this  
appliance can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between  
the appliance and an effective earthing  
system which complies with local and  
national safety regulations. It is most  
important that this basic safety  
requirement is present and regularly  
tested. Where there is any doubt, the  
electrical wiring in the home should be  
checked by a qualified electrician.  
The manufacturer cannot be held liable  
for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
This equipment may only be used  
in mobile installations such as  
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk  
assessment of the installation has been  
carried out by a suitably qualified  
engineer.  
Use  
Always ensure that food is  
sufficiently heated.  
Many factors will affect the overall  
cooking time, including the size and

local safety regulations. Repairs and  
other work by unqualified persons  
could be dangerous. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for unauthorised  
work. Ensure current is not supplied to  
the appliance while maintenance or  
repair work is being carried out.  
Some foods may contain  
micro-organisms which are only  
destroyed by thorough cooking,  
therefore when cooking or reheating  
foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly  
important that food is fully cooked  
through (at temperatures over 70°C for  
more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,  
select a longer cooking or reheating  
time.

Warning and Safety instructions  
It is important that the heat is  
allowed to spread evenly  
Do not use full power to warm  
empty dishes. Do not use the  
throughout the food being cooked. This appliance without food, or if it is  
can be achieved by stirring and/or  
turning the food, and by observing a  
sufficiently long standing time, which  
should be added to the time needed for  
cooking, reheating or defrosting.  
incorrectly loaded.  
Never cook or reheat food or  
liquids in sealed containers or  
bottles.  
With baby bottles, the screw top and  
teat must be removed. Otherwise  
pressure builds up which can cause  
the bottle or container to explode  
posing a severe risk of injury.  
Always remember that times for  
cooking, reheating and defrosting  
in a microwave oven are usually  
considerably shorter than with  
traditional methods of food preparation.  
Excessively long cooking times can  
lead to food drying out and burning or  
could even cause it to catch fire. There  
is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs,  
flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in the  
microwave oven.  
Before serving, remember to allow  
a sufficient standing time and then  
always check the temperature of the  
actual food itself after taking it out of the  
microwave. The temperature of the  
container is not an indication of the  
temperature of the food or liquid in it.  
This is particularly important when  
preparing food for babies, children,  
and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir  
baby milk and food thoroughly after  
heating, and try it for temperature to  
ensure that it will not scald the baby.  
When heating food and drink remember  
that the heat is created in the food  
itself, and that the container will  
Always ensure that this type of  
procedure is supervised.  
Do not use the microwave function  
to heat up cushions or pads filled  
with cherry kernels, wheat grains,  
lavender or gel, such as those used in  
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite  
when heated, even after they have  
been removed from the microwave.  
normally be cooler. The dish is only  
warmed by the heat of the food.  
Exercise caution when cooking or  
reheating food with a high sugar  
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If  
heated for too long the sugar may  
caramelise or ignite.

Warning and Safety instructions  
When heating liquids, the boiling  
rod provided should be placed into  
the container.  
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not  
open the oven door if smoke  
occurs in the oven interior.  
Interrupt the process (by pressing the  
Stop/C button twice). Switch off at the  
wall socket, and where applicable  
remove the plug. Do not open the door  
until the smoke has dispersed.  
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the  
microwave oven as this can easily  
ignite.  
Do not heat up tins in the  
microwave oven. Pressure can  
build up and they may explode,  
resulting in injury or damage.  
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,  
in the oven without the boiling rod, the  
boiling point of the liquid may be  
reached without the production of  
typical bubbles. The liquid does not  
boil evenly throughout. This so-called  
‘boiling delay’ can cause a sudden  
build up of bubbles when the container  
is removed from the oven or shaken.  
This can lead to the liquid boiling over  
suddenly and explosively. Danger of  
burning.  
Cover any food which is left in the  
oven to be kept hot, as moisture in  
the food could lead to corrosion  
damage in the oven. This also prevents  
the food from drying out.  
Try to avoid the interior walls being  
splashed with food or liquids  
containing salt. If it does happen wipe  
these away thoroughly, to avoid  
corrosion on the stainless steel surface.  
The formation of bubbles can be so  
strong that the pressure forces the oven  
door open. The user could be injured  
and the appliance damaged.  
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid  
boils evenly and that bubbles form at  
an early stage during the operation.

the appliance could catch fire.  
Do not use the appliance as a  
resting place for other items.  
The heat from the top of the appliance  
could cause some kinds of items to  
melt.  
Wait until the grill element has  
cooled down before lowering it for  
cleaning. Danger of burning.  
When using kitchen appliances  
connected to sockets near the  
microwave oven, ensure that the cable  
cannot get trapped in a hot oven door,  
which could melt the cable insulation  
and be dangerous.  
Do not use force to lower the  
element as this can cause it to  
break.  
To check food temperature, first  
interrupt the cooking process. Only  
use a thermometer specifically  
approved for food use to measure the  
temperature of the food. Never use a  
thermometer containing mercury or  
liquid, as these are not suitable for use  
with very high temperatures and will  
break very easily.

How the microwave oven functions  
How does the microwave oven As heat is produced directly in the  
food,  
function?  
– food can generally be cooked  
without adding much liquid or  
cooking oil.  
In a microwave oven there is a  
high-frequency tube called a  
magnetron. This converts electrical  
energy into microwaves. These  
microwaves are distributed evenly  
throughout the oven interior and  
rebound off the metal sides of the oven  
interior to reach the food from all sides.  
Microwave distribution is improved with  
the turntable engaged.  
– cooking, reheating and defrosting in  
a microwave oven is quicker than  
using conventional methods.  
– nutrients, such as vitamins and  
minerals, are generally retained.  
– the colour, texture and taste of food  
are not impaired.  
In order for microwaves to reach the  
food, they must be able to penetrate  
the cooking utensil being used.  
Microwaves stop being produced as  
soon as the cooking process is  
interrupted or the appliance door is  
opened.  
When the appliance is in operation, the  
closed, sealed door prevents  
microwaves escaping from the  
appliance.  
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,  
glass, cardboard and plastics, but not  
metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils  
made of metal, or which contain metal,  
for example in the form of gold or silver  
trim. The metal reflects the microwaves  
and this could lead to the creation of  
sparks. The microwaves cannot be  
absorbed.  
Microwaves pass through a suitable  
container and find their way directly into  
the food. All food contains moisture  
molecules which, when subjected to  
microwave energy, start to oscillate  
2.5 thousand million times a second.  
The friction caused by this vibration  
creates heat, which first starts  
developing around the outside of the  
food and then slowly penetrates  
towards the centre. The moisture, fat  
and sugar content of food will affect the  
speed at which it is cooked.  
15  
 
 
Performance  
What can a microwave oven  
do?  
In what ways can a microwave  
oven be used?  
In the microwave oven, food is cooked,  
reheated or defrosted quickly.  
Microwave-solo mode  
Suitable for defrosting, reheating and  
cooking.  
You can use your microwave in the  
following ways:  
– Food can be defrosted, reheated or  
cooked by entering a power setting  
and a time.  
Grilling  
Ideal for grilling thin cuts of meat, e.g.  
steak or sausages.  
– Deep frozen ready-made meals can  
be defrosted and then reheated or  
cooked.  
Combination mode  
(Microwave + Grill)  
– The microwave oven can also be  
used for other tasks, e.g. for proving  
dough, melting chocolate and butter,  
dissolving gelatine etc.  
Ideal for dishes with toppings. The  
microwave cooks the food and the grill  
browns it.  
Automatic programmes  
You can choose from the following auto-  
matic programmes:  
– three automatic defrosting  
programmes (N OM),  
– two automatic cooking programmes  
(°Q)  
– and two combination programmes  
(Q L).  
These programmes are weight  
dependent. You enter the weight of the  
food and then the cooking time is  
calculated automatically.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Microwaves  
Material and shape  
The material and shape of containers  
used affect cooking results and times.  
Heat distribution is more even in round  
and oval shaped flat containers than in  
rectangular containers, providing better  
results.  
Metal  
Metal containers, aluminium foil and  
metal cutlery, or china with metallic  
decoration, such as gold rims or  
cobalt blue must not be used in an  
oven being used in microwave  
mode.  
– are reflected by metal,  
The metal reflects the microwaves,  
hindering the cooking process.  
Exceptions:  
– pass through glass, chinaware,  
plastic and card,  
– Ready-meals in aluminium foil dishes  
These can be defrosted and reheated  
in the microwave oven, if recommended  
by the manufacturer. Important:  
Remove the lid first.  
However, as food is only heated from  
the top it is better to remove the food  
from the aluminium foil container and  
transfer it to a dish suitable for a  
microwave oven. The heat distribution  
will be more even.  
– and are absorbed by food.  
If sparks and arcing occur when using  
an aluminium container, stop and  
transfer the food to a microwave-safe  
container.  
17  
 
 
Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
– Pieces of aluminium foil  
Earthenware can get very hot, and  
may crack.  
For even defrosting and to avoid  
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of  
meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of  
aluminium foil may be used to mask  
wingtips or other thin parts for the last  
few minutes of the programme.  
Glazes and colours  
Some glazes and colours contain  
metals which make them unsuitable  
for use in a microwave oven.  
Make sure that the aluminium foil is  
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at  
all times. It must not touch the walls.  
Plastics  
Plastic containers must only be used  
for microwave mode alone.  
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a  
minimum of 110 °C.  
– Metal meat skewers or clamps  
These should only be used if they are  
very small in comparison to the size of  
the cut of meat.  
Otherwise the plastic may melt and  
fuse with the food.  
Glassware  
Special plastic utensils, designed for  
use in microwave ovens, are available  
from good retail outlets. When  
purchasing plasticware, make sure that  
it is suitable for use in a microwave  
oven.  
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass  
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.  
Crystal glass contains lead which  
could cause the glass to crack.  
Glass dishes with a milled rim are  
also subject to this risk.  
Melamine is not suitable as it absorbs  
energy and heats up.  
Both are unsuitable.  
Disposable containers, such as trays  
made from polystyrene, can only be  
used for very short timed warming and  
reheating of food.  
Porcelain  
Porcelain is a suitable material.  
Do not use porcelain with gold or  
silver edging or items with hollow  
knobs or handles, as insufficient  
ventilation may cause pressure.  
Plastic boiling bags can be used for  
cooking and reheating.  
They should be pierced beforehand so  
that steam can escape. This prevents a  
build-up of pressure and reduces the  
risk of the bag bursting.  
Earthenware  
Decorated earthenware is only suitable  
if the decoration is beneath an all-over  
glaze.  
18  
 
Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Roasting bags and tubes can also be  
Testing dishes for their  
suitability  
used. Roasting tubes should be about  
40 cm longer and roasting bags about  
20 cm longer than the food being  
roasted, and carefully tied with string.  
Turn the ends over and secure them.  
The bag should be pierced according  
to the manufacturer’s instructions.  
If in doubt as to whether glass,  
earthenware or porcelain plates or  
dishes are suitable for use in a  
microwave oven, a simple test can be  
performed:  
^ Place the item you wish to test in the  
centre of the oven, fill a suitable glass  
with water and also place this in the  
oven.  
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips  
containing metal parts or paper ties  
containing wire.  
There is a danger that they will ignite  
when heated.  
^ Close the door.  
^ Turn the power selector to  
1000 watts.  
Wood  
^ Enter a time of 30 seconds with the  
time selector.  
Wooden dishes are not suitable.  
Moisture contained in the wood  
evaporates when exposed to  
microwave energy, causing the  
wood to dry and crack.  
^ Press START.  
At the end of the test the water in the  
glass should be warm and the dish  
cool. If the dish is hot and the water  
cool you should not use the dish.  
Disposable containers  
Only those plastic disposable  
containers which are specified by the  
manufacturer as suitable for use in a  
microwave oven may be used.  
If a crackling noise is heard  
accompanied by sparks during the  
test, switch the appliance off imme-  
diately (press button Stop/C twice).  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
when reheating or cooking food in  
disposable containers made of  
plastic, paper or other inflammable  
materials.  
Any crockery which causes this  
reaction is unsuitable for use in the  
microwave oven.  
If any doubt exists about the  
suitability of containers, please  
contact the supplier.  
Disposable containers are not always  
recyclable or bio-degradable.  
19  
 
 
Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
This test cannot be used to check  
whether items with hollow knobs or  
handles are suitable for use in a  
microwave oven.  
Heat can cause normal clingfilm to  
distort and fuse with the food.  
Sealed containers, such as jars of  
food and babyfood must be opened  
before they are placed the oven.  
The cover  
– prevents too much steam escaping,  
especially when cooking foods which  
need longer to cook, such as  
potatoes.  
Do not use a lid or cover if  
– food coated with breadcrumbs is  
being cooked  
– cooking meals which are to be given  
a crisp finish.  
– shortens and evens out the cooking  
process.  
– prevents food from drying out.  
– prevents any loss of aroma.  
– helps keep the oven clean.  
The cover supplied may only be  
used in microwave-solo operation.  
The cover can only withstand  
temperatures of up to 110 °C.  
Higher temperatures generated by  
grilling or fan heat could cause the  
plastic to distort and fuse with the  
food.  
Always cover food with the cover  
supplied.  
Alternatively, use lids or covers made of  
microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use  
a clingfilm recommended for use in a  
microwave oven (pierce as instructed  
by the manufacturer).  
20  
 
 
Before using for the first time  
^ Check the appliance for any  
damage.  
Important:  
After unpacking, let the appliance  
stand for approx. 2 hours at room  
temperature after transporting it to  
its final location before connecting it  
to the mains.  
Do not use the microwave if  
– the door is warped.  
– the door hinges are loose.  
– holes or cracks are visible in the  
casing, the door, the door seal or the  
oven interior walls.  
Operating the appliance with this  
type of damage will result in  
microwave leakage and present a  
hazard to the user.  
This is important for the correct  
electronic functioning of the appliance.  
^ Remove all the packaging materials  
from the appliance.

Operation  
Starting a programme  
Use the appropriate selector to choose  
the microwave power level and the  
time. It does not matter which is chosen  
first.  
^ Use the time selector to enter the  
required time.  
Any time between 5 seconds and  
60 minutes can be selected. Exception:  
if you select the highest microwave  
setting of 1000 W, the maximum time  
you can select is 10 minutes.  
^ Turn the power selector to the  
required level.  
The time required depends on:  
There is a choice of 7 power levels.  
The higher the power level, the more  
microwaves reach the food.  
– the initial temperature of the food.  
Food taken from the refrigerator will  
need longer to reheat or cook than  
food already at room temperature.  
When heating up food which cannot be  
stirred or turned during cooking, as with  
a plated meal, it is best to use a lower  
microwave power level.  
– the type and texture of the food.  
Fresh vegetables contain more water  
and cook more quickly than stored  
vegetables.  
This ensures the heat is distributed  
evenly. Heat for long enough to cook  
the food properly.  
– the frequency of stirring or turning  
the food.  
Frequent stirring or turning heats the  
food more evenly, and it is therefore  
ready in a shorter time.  
– the amount of food.  
As a general rule, allow approx. time  
and a half for double the quantity.  
For a smaller quantity, possibly  
shorten the time but ensure food is  
cooked thoroughly.

If the total grilling time required is less  
than 15 minutes, the grill should be  
pre-heated for approx. 5 minutes before  
placing food under it.  
^ Turn the power selector to the black  
dot (12 o’clock position).  
Thin, flat cuts of fish and meat should  
usually be turned half way through  
grilling for even results. Larger,  
chunkier pieces should be turned  
several times.  
Grilling times depend on the type and  
thickness of the food and on the user’s  
preference for a rare or well-cooked  
result.

Gourmet plate  
Use  
The gourmet plate has an easy to  
clean anti-stick coating so that food  
can be removed easily. The coating,  
like Teflon, is susceptible to cuts and  
scratches. Therefore do not cut  
food up directly on the plate.  
The gourmet plate gets extremely  
hot when in use. Always use oven  
gloves when handling it to avoid  
burns. Place it on a heat-resistant  
mat.  
Use wooden or plastic utensils to  
mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp  
objects can damage the coating.  
Searing / browning food  
^ When using the gourmet plate, make  
sure that the food is ready to transfer  
to the gourmet plate as soon as it has  
heated up.  
Some suggested uses  
Pre-heat the gourmet plate directly on  
the turntable on 850 watts, grill setting  
3, for a maximum of 21/2 minutes.  
^ Place the gourmet plate directly on  
the turntable.  
Fish fingers (frozen)  
150 g + 2 tablespoons oil  
3 - 4 minutes each side  
Do not place it on the rack as this  
could cause sparking and damage  
the gourmet plate.  
Hamburgers  
2 burgers + 2 tablespoons oil  
3 - 4 minutes each side  
^ Heat the plate up on 850 watts, grill  
setting 3, for a maximum of 21/2  
minutes.  
Croquettes (frozen)  
10-12 + 2 tablespoons oil  
4-5 minutes, turn half-way through

If using oil, you can either heat up the  
oil on the gourmet plate, or you can  
heat the oil separately and then add it  
to the plate.  
Fillet steak, approx. 200 g  
Q, 5 minutes each side  
(according to taste)  
Butter, however, should always be  
added after heating up the gourmet  
plate. It has a lower burning point than  
oil and would get too dark or burn if  
added too soon.  
Pizza (frozen), 300 g  
L, 7- 9 minutes  
Pizza (fresh), without pre-heating  
L, 15 minutes approx.  
(depending on topping)

Reheating  
Select the following microwave power  
settings to reheat food:  
food, its initial temperature and the  
amount to be cooked.  
Drinks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1000 watts  
Food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 600 watts  
Food for babies and toddlers. 450 watts  
Always ensure that food is  
sufficiently cooked or reheated.  
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high  
temperature has been reached,  
continue reheating for a little longer.  
We do not recommend heating or  
reheating foods or drinks for babies  
or young children in the microwave  
oven. Any decision to do this is the  
responsibility of the user, and should  
only be done with the utmost care.  
Pasteurised or sterilised cooked  
food should be gently heated at  
450 watts, and tasted so that it is not  
too hot for a baby’s palate before  
serving. When reheating other food  
or drink, heat to a high temperature  
and allow to cool to a suitable heat  
for eating. For formula milk follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
Stir or turn food from time to time during  
cooking. Stir the food from the outside  
towards the middle, as food heats more  
quickly from the outside.  
After reheating  
Be careful when removing a dish  
from the oven. It may be hot.  
Although heat is not normally produced  
in the container itself by the  
microwaves (apart from stoneware),  
heat transfer from the food to the  
container may be considerable, making  
the container itself hot.  
Tips on reheating  
Always use a lid or cover for reheating  
food, except when a drier finish is  
needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.  
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at  
room temperature at the end of  
reheating to enable the heat to spread  
evenly throughout the food.  
Always remove the lids from jars.  
Remove the rubber teat and screw  
cap before warming baby bottles.  
When reheating liquids, place the  
boiling rod supplied with the  
appliance into the cup or glass.  
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a  
microwave oven, even without the  
shell. The eggs can burst.  
After heating food, especially food  
for babies and small children, stir  
the food or shake the container and  
check that the temperature does not  
pose any danger. Double check  
after it has been left to stand.  
Food taken straight from the refrigerator  
requires longer to reheat than food  
stored at room temperature. The time  
required depends on the nature of the  
32  
 
 
Cooking  
Place the food in a microwave-proof  
dish and cover it.  
Food with a thick skin or peel, such  
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes  
and aubergines, should be pierced or  
the skin cut in several places before  
cooking to allow steam to escape and  
prevent the food from bursting.  
When cooking it is a good idea to  
select a power level of 850 watts to  
start with and then when the food is hot  
reduce the power level to 450 watts for  
more gentle continued cooking.  
Eggs can only be cooked in their  
shells in the microwave oven in a  
specially designed egg-boiling  
device available from specialist  
shops. Eggs can burst even after  
they have been removed from the  
oven.  
For dishes such as rice or semolina  
pudding first select a power level of  
850 watts and then turn down to  
150 watts to simmer.  
Please note:  
Vegetable cooking times depend on the  
texture of the vegetable.  
Eggs can be cooked without their shells  
in the microwave oven only if the yolk  
membrane has been punctured several  
times first.  
The pressure could otherwise cause  
the egg yolk to explode.  
Fresh vegetables contain more water  
than vegetables which have been  
stored and usually cook more quickly.  
Add a little water to vegetables which  
have been kept stored.  
After cooking  
Food taken straight from the refrigerator  
requires longer to reheat than food  
stored at room temperature.  
Be careful when removing a dish  
from the oven. It may be hot.  
Stir or turn food from time to time during  
cooking to help it cook more evenly.  
Although heat is not normally produced  
in the container itself by the  
microwaves (apart from stoneware),  
heat transfer from the food to the  
container may be considerable, making  
the container itself hot.  
Ensure that foods such as meat and  
fish are cooked for an appropriate  
length of time.  
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at  
room temperature at the end of cooking  
to enable the heat to spread evenly  
throughout the food.

Defrosting / Defrosting and reheating or cooking  
Defrosting  
Defrosting followed by  
reheating or cooking  
Select the following microwave power  
settings to defrost food:  
Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and  
immediately reheated or cooked.  
– 80 W:  
for defrosting very delicate foods,  
e.g. cream, butter, cheese and  
gateaux made with cream or butter  
cream.  
After defrosting, select 850 watts  
followed by 450 watts.  
Remove the food from its packaging  
and place in a covered  
microwave-proof dish for defrosting and  
reheating or cooking. Exception:  
Minced meat should be left uncovered  
while cooking.  
– 150 W:  
for defrosting other types of food.  
Remove the food from its packaging  
and place in a microwave-proof  
container. Do not cover. Turn, stir or  
separate the food about half-way  
through the defrosting time.  
Soups, stew and vegetables should be  
stirred several times during the  
process. Carefully separate slices of  
meat halfway through the programme.  
Turn pieces of meat and fish at the  
halfway stage.  
To defrost meat, unpack the frozen  
meat and place it on an upturned plate  
in a glass or china container so that the  
meat juice can run off and be collected.  
Turn halfway through defrosting.  
Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals in  
cardboard trays which, according to  
manufacturer’s instructions are suitable  
for use in a conventional oven, are  
microwave-safe.  
Poultry  
It is particularly important to observe  
food hygiene rules when defrosting  
poultry. Do not use the liquid from  
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and  
wash the container it was in, the sink  
and your hands. Danger of salmonella  
poisoning.  
After defrosting followed by  
reheating or cooking  
Allow the food to stand at room  
temperature for a few minutes to enable  
the heat to spread evenly throughout  
the food.  
After defrosting

If the microwave oven switches itself off

Service Department.  
. . . food cools down too quickly  
In the microwave oven, food begins to  
cook from the outside first, the inside of  
the food relying on the slower  
conduction of heat.  
If it is not possible to remedy a fault  
by following the instructions given  
above, on no account open the  
appliance casing.  
If food is cooked at a high power level,  
it is possible that the heat may not have  
reached the centre of the food, so it is  
hot on the outside but cold in the  
centre. During standing time heat is  
transferred to the centre of the food.  
This may leave the food warm in the  
middle but cool on the outside. When  
reheating food with different densities,  
such as plated meals, it is therefore  
sensible to start with a low power level  
and lengthen the time required.  
This microwave oven should only be  
repaired by a suitably qualified  
technician trained by Miele.
