Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen 

food

Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat 

up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable 

cookware. The different components of the meal may 

not require the same amount of time to heat up.
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food 

which is piled high. You should therefore distribute the 

food so that it is as flat as possible in the cookware. 

Food should not be placed in layers on top of one 

another.

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable lid 

for your cookware, use a plate or special microwave 

foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 

5 minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, which 

means it will require less seasoning.

Note: 

Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment 

floor.

Heating

:

Warning – Risk of scalding! 

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is 

heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling 

temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to 

the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, 

the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When 

heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will 

prevent delayed boiling.

Caution!

Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – 

must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking 

compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks 

can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the 

door.

■

Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will 

heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable 

cookware. The different components of the meal 

may not require the same amount of time to heat up.

■

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable 

cover for your cookware, use a plate or special 

microwave foil.

■

Stir or turn the food several times during the heating 

time. Check the temperature.

■

After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 

2 to 5 minutes to allow the temperature to even out.

■

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when 

removing plates from the appliance.

Cooking

Notes

■

Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food 

which is piled high. You should therefore distribute 

the food so that it is as flat as possible in the 

cookware. Food should not be placed in layers on 

top of one another.

■

Cook the food in cookware with a lid. If you do not 

have a suitable lid for your cookware, use a plate or 

special microwave foil.

■

This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, 

which means it will require less seasoning.

■

After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 

2

to 5

minutes to allow the temperature to even out.

■

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when 

removing plates from the appliance.

Note: 

Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment 

floor.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of 

food you have prepared.

Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following rule of 

thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time

The food has become too dry.

Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-

ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.

The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked.

Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer 

times.

Time has elapsed but the food is overheated at the edge but not done 

in the middle.

Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power 

setting and a longer cooking time.

After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but 

not defrosted in the middle.

Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. Turn large amounts of 

poultry or meat several times.
