cause the cookware to crack when it is
heated.
• The glass cooking tray is a work space
for heating food or liquids. It is necessa-
ry for the operation of the microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it so that the defrosting liquid
collects in the container.
• Turn the food after half of the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then re-
move the pieces that started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost the food in the ap-
pliance, but let it defrost at room tem-
perature. This gives a more even result.
Fully remove all metal or aluminium
packaging before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables,
which are to be further prepared while
raw, in the appliance. Let them defrost
at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power
to cook fruit and vegetables without de-
frosting them first.
Ready meals:
• You can prepare ready meals in the ap-
pliance only if their packaging is suitable
for microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's in-
structions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and pierce
the plastic film).
