steak or sausages.

the food and the grill browns it.
Automatic programmes
You can choose from the following auto-
matic programmes:
– three automatic defrosting
programmes (
N O M),
– two automatic cooking programmes
(
° Q)
– and two combination programmes
(
QK).
These programmes are weight depend-
ent. You enter the weight of the food
and then the cooking time is calculated
automatically.
Microwave-Solo mode
Microwave power settings
There are 7 different microwave power
settings to choose from.
The higher the power setting the more
microwaves reach the food.
When heating up food which cannot be
stirred or turned during cooking, as with
a plated meal, it is preferable to use a
lower microwave power setting. This
ensures the heat is distributed evenly.
Heat for long enough to reach the tem-
perature required.
Times for defrosting, reheating,
cooking
The time required depends on:
– the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken from the refrigerator will
need longer to be reheated or
cooked than food already at room
temperature.
– the type and texture of food.
Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
– the amount of food.
In general:
allow approx. time and a half for
double the quantity. For a smaller
quantity, possibly shorten the time
but ensure food is cooked thor-
oughly.
– the shape and material of the
container.
