AEG KME561000M, User Manual

microwave. Only cook food without a

cover if you want to keep a crust.

• Do not overcook the dishes by setting

the power and time too high. The

food can dry out, burn or catch fire in

some places.

• Do not use the appliance to cook

eggs in their shells and snails,

because they can burst. With fried

eggs, pierce the yolks first.

• Pierce skin or peel of potatoes,

tomatoes, sausages and similar types

of food with a fork several times

before cooking so that the food does

not burst.

• For chilled or frozen food, set a

longer cooking time.

• Dishes which contain sauce must be

stirred from time to time.

• Turn larger pieces of food after half

the cooking time.

• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-

sized pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

• Do not use cookware made of

porcelain, ceramic or earthenware

with unglazed bottoms or small holes,

e.g. on handles . Moisture going into

the holes can cause the cookware to

crack when it is heated.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:

• 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 run off.

• Turn the food after half the defrosting

time. If possible, divide and then

remove the pieces that have started

to defrost.

Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,

quark:

• Do not fully defrost in the appliance,

but let them defrost completely at a

room temperature. This gives a more

even result. Remove all metal or

aluminium packaging or parts before

defrosting.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables:

• If fruit and vegetables should remain

raw, do not defrost them fully in the

appliance but let them defrost

completely at a room temperature.

• To cook fruit and vegetables without

defrosting them first, you can use a

higher microwave power.

Ready meals:

• Ready meals in metal packaging or

plastic trays with metal covers can

only be defrosted or heated in the

microwave if they are expressively

designated as suitable for use in the

microwave.

• You must follow the manufacturer's

instructions printed on the packaging

(e.g. remove the metal cover and

pierce the plastic film).
