advisable to adjust the times and power levels to each situation. Depending on the exact characteristics of the food
you may need to increase or shorten the cooking times or increase or decrease the power levels.
Cooking with microwave.
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in mind that:
△ Double the quantity = double the time
△ Half the quantity = half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly distributed on the turntable. If you put dense foods on
the outer part of the plate and less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you can heat up different types
of food simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any time. When you do this the oven switches off automatically. The
microwave will only start working again when you close the door and press the start key.
6. It takes less time if we put a cover over food, but the cover should have vents avoiding extreme pressure.

9.2. Defrosting with Microwaves
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves.
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food. When freezing food keep the defrosting
process in mind. Distribute the food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food well. You can use aluminum foil delicate food. Important: The aluminum foil should not come
into contact with the oven inner cavity of the oven as this may cause electrical arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned over several times in the process of baking.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thick portions defrost more quickly than the
thicker and broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cheese and cream should not be completely defrosted. If they are kept at room
temperature thy will be ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if you find small pieces of ice
in it, you should mix these in before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not become too dry.
10. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags. For containers that are
used to keep frozen food in the freezer and which can also be used for heating and cooking, all you need to do is
take off the lid. For all other cases you should put the food into containers that are suitable for microwave use.
11. The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that from poultry, should be discarded. In no event should such
liquids be allowed to come into contact with other foods.
12. Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for standing time until the food is completely
defrosted.
13. You should turn food over once the microwave alarms in the process of defrosting, with 'turn' display on DSP2.
