elapsed in order to ensure uniform cooking.
• When cooking pasta (program 5) add boiling water before starting to cook.
• Use a skewer made of microwave-safe material such plastic or wood - never
metal – when cooking kebabs (program 8). Once half the cooking time has
elapsed, the appliance beeps to remind you to turn the food in order to ensure
uniform cooking.
• When cooking popcorn (program 3) and cake (program 8) there is one default
setting that may be changed by pressing the “CLOCK/WEIGHT ADJ.” button

CHILD SAFETY LOCK
The child safety lock prevents small children from using the appliance. The
appliance cannot be operated as long as the child safety lock is active. The child
safety lock is activated by holding the "STOP/CANCEL" button down for 3 seconds.
A beep will sound and the display shows the lock symbol “LOCK”. The child safety
lock is deactivated by holding the "STOP/CANCEL" button down for 3 seconds. The
key symbol will then disappear from the display.
SAFETY FEATURE
The appliance has a safety feature, which automatically interrupts the cooking if the
temperature in the oven exceeds 300 ºC. The display will show the error code E 01,
and a beep will sound every 1½ second until the temperature has been reduced to
a safe level. Press the “STOP/CANCEL” button to reset the error code and use the
appliance as normal.
If after 8 minutes cooking time, the temperature drops to below 40 ºC, the error
code E 02 will appear. Press the ”STOP/CANCEL” button to reset the error code
and return to using the appliance as normal.
TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION
When preparing food in the appliance, the following basic rules apply:
Cooking time
Smallerquantitiesoffoodcookmorerapidlythanlargequantities.Iftheamountof
food is doubled, the preparation time must correspondingly be more than doubled.
Smallpiecesofmeat,smallshandchoppedvegetablescookmorequicklythan
large pieces. For the same reason, it is recommended that if, for example, you wish
to make goulash, stews or similar, the meat be cut into pieces no bigger than 2 x 2
cm.
The compactness of the food is also very important for the cooking time. The more
compact the food is, the longer it takes to cook.
• Wholejointsrequirealongercookingtimethansteweddishes.
• Ajointrequiresalongertimethanadishusingmincedmeat.
The colder the food, the longer the cooking time needs to be. Food at room
temperature will therefore cook faster than food from a fridge or freezer.
When cooking vegetables, the cooking time depends on the freshness of the
vegetables. Therefore check the condition of the vegetables, and add or deduct a
little time accordingly.
The short cooking time when using a microwave oven means that the food does not
overcook.
• Ifrequired,alittlewatercanbeadded.
• Whencookingshandvegetables,youonlyneedtousetheminimumofwater.
Microwave power
The choice of power setting depends on the condition of the food to be cooked.
In most cases, the food is cooked on full power.
• Fullpowerisused,amongotherthings,forreheatingfoodquickly,boilingwater
or similar.
• Low power is principally used to defrost food and prepare dishes containing
cheese, milk or egg. (Whole eggs in their shell cannot be cooked in a microwave
oven, as there is a risk of the eggs exploding.) In addition, lower power settings
arealsousedtonishoffandtoretaintheexcellentaromaofadish.
General information on cooking
• If the entire meal is to be cooked in the appliance, it is recommended that you
start with the most compact foods, such as potatoes. Once these are ready,
cover them while the rest of the food cooks.
• Mostfoodshouldbecovered.Aclose-ttingcoverretainsthesteamand
moisture, which shortens the cooking time in the appliance. This is particularly
thecasewhencookingvegetables,shdishesandcasseroles.Coveringfood
also distributes the heat better, thus ensuring rapid and excellent results.
• In order to achieve the best possible results, it is important to position the food
correctly, as the microwave rays are most powerful at the centre of the oven
compartment. If, for example, you are baking potatoes, you should position
them along the edge of the glass turntable so that they cook evenly.
• In order to cook compact dishes such as meat and poultry evenly, it is important
to turn the pieces of meat a few times.
• You can bake in a microwave oven, although not with recipes that include yeast.
