Warming
The warming and heating of food is a particular strength
of the microwave. Liquids and foods that are in the
refrigerator can be easily brought up to room temperature
or the right temperature for consumption without the need
for many pots.
The heating times contained in the following table are
only rough guides as the time depends very much on the
starting temperature and the composition of the food. You
are therefore advised to check from time to time whether
the dish is already hot enough.

Cooking
Practical Cooking Tips
Please keep to the recommended values in the cooking
table and the recipes. Keep an eye on the cooking pro-
cess until you have more experience.
The door of the microwave can be opened at any time.
The machine switches off automatically.
It starts again when the door is closed.
Foods taken directly from the refrigerator require a slightly
longer cooking time than those at room temperature.
The more compact a food is, the longer is the cooking
time. For example, a large piece of meat has to be
cooked longer than the same quantity of sliced meat.
It is advisable to start cooking sizeable quantities on
maximum power and then to continue cooking evenly on
medium power.
Flat dishes cook faster than thick ones. Therefore it is ad-
visable to spread the food as thinly as possible. Thinner
pieces, e.g. chicken legs or fi sh fi llets should be placed
towards the inside or allowed to overlap.
The following rule of thumb applies:
Double the quantity = almost double the time
Half the quantity = half the time
If you are not able to fi nd a suitable time for a dish, the
following rule applies:
approx. 1 minute cooking time for each 100 g.
All dishes which are covered up on a normal cooker
should also be covered in the microwave oven.
A lid prevents the food from drying out. Suitable covers
are an inverted plate, parchment paper or microwave
foil. Dishes which are to be given a crust should not be
covered when cooked.
