■

Resting time

The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional 

10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. Large 

pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller 

pieces. Flat pieces of meat and items made from minced 

meat should be separated from each other before leaving to 

stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even 

though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle. 

The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

Cooking programmes

With the 3 cooking programmes, you can cook rice, potatoes 

or vegetables.

Notes

■

Preparing food

Weigh out the food. You need to know the weight to set the 

programme.

■

Ovenware

Generally, the food must be cooked in microwaveable 

ovenware with a lid. For rice, you should use a large, deep 

dish. Place the ovenware on the lower wire rack.

Rice (P05)
Note: 

Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Rice foams a lot during 

cooking. Enter the uncooked weight (without liquid). Add two to 

two and a half times the amount of liquid to the rice.

Potatoes (P06)
Note: 

Boiled potatoes: 

Cut into pieces of equal size. Add a little salt and 1 tablespoon 

of water for every 100 g of potatoes.

Vegetables (P07)
Notes

■

Fresh vegetables: 

Cut into pieces of equal size. Add 1 tablespoon of water for 

every 100 g of vegetables.

■

Resting time

Once the programme has finished, stir the food again. You 

should leave it to stand for another 5-10 minutes until it 

reaches an even temperature.
The cooking result will depend on the quality and consistency 

of the food.

Notes

■

Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is not 

possible to enter the exact weight, you should round it up or 

down.

■

Ovenware

Cook the food in ovenware which is not too big, and is heat-

resistant and microwaveable. Place the ovenware on the 

lower wire rack.

Lamb, medium (P12)

Ideal for a shoulder joint or boned leg of lamb.

Meat loaf (P13)

The programme is suitable for meat loaves not more than 7 cm 

in height.

Fish, whole (P14)

Scale the fish beforehand. Place the fish in the ovenware in its 

swimming position.

Rice stew (P15)

Only enter the weight of the rice. Ideal for rice stews with 

vegetables, fish or poultry. Only use fresh ingredients. Use a 

high-sided dish with a lid.

Resting time

Once the programme has finished, the food should be allowed 

to rest for another approx. 5-10 minutes so it reaches an even 

temperature.

Setting the time-setting options

Your oven has various time-setting options. You can use the 

0

 button to call up the menu and switch between the individual 

functions. As long as the symbols are lit, you can make 

settings. The 

N 

 arrow shows you the time-setting option that is 

active. A time-setting option that has already been set can be 

changed directly with the 

@

 or 

A

 button when the 

N 

 arrow is 

next to the relevant time symbol.

Setting the timer

You can use the timer as a kitchen timer. It runs independently 

of the oven. The timer has its own audible signal. In this way, 

you can tell whether it is the timer or a cooking time which has 

elapsed.
