Practical tips for use
General
· After switching off your appliance, let food stand inside for a few
minutes to allow even heat distribution (standing time).
· Remove any aluminium foil or metal containing packaging before
preparing the food.
· Metal objects must be placed at least 2 cm away from the cooking
space walls and door. Otherwise arcing can occur, resulting in damage
to the appliance.
Cooking
– Whenever possible cook food covered. Only pastry dishes with crust
should be cooked uncovered.
– Refrigerated or frozen food require longer cooking times.
– Foods containing sauces should be stirred from time to time.
– Cook soft vegetables such as carrots, peas and cauliflower with a little water.
– Cook soft vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes without
liquid.
– Increase cooking time by approximately 50 % for larger pieces.
Whenever possible, cut vegetables into equal-sized pieces.
Defrosting of meat, poultry and fish
– Place frozen, unpacked meat on an inverted plate in a glass or
porcelain container, so that the meat juice can drain.
– Halfway through defrosting, turn the food, dividing it where possible
and removing the pieces that have defrosted.
