What can a microwave oven
do?
In the microwave oven, food is cooked,
reheated or defrosted quickly.
You can use your microwave in the
following ways:
– Food can be defrosted, reheated or
cooked by entering a power setting
and a time.
– Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can
be defrosted and then reheated or
cooked.
– The microwave oven can also be
used for other tasks, e.g. for proving
dough, melting chocolate and butter,
dissolving gelatine etc.
In what ways can a microwave
oven be used?
Microwave-solo mode
Suitable for defrosting, reheating and
cooking.
Grilling
Ideal for grilling very thin cuts of meat,
e.g. bacon.
Combination mode
(Microwave + Grill)
Ideal for browning dishes with
toppings. The microwave cooks the
food, and the grill browns it.
Automatic programmes
You can choose from the following auto-
matic programmes:
– four defrosting programmes
(
N: Ad 1 to Ad 4),
– one cooking programme for frozen
food
(
N °: AC 1 ),
– and five cooking programmes for
fresh food
(
°: AC 1 to AC 5).
These programmes are weight
dependent. You enter the weight of the
food, and then the cooking time is
calculated automatically.
