Defrosting of butter, pieces of layer cake and cottage cheese
– Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but leave to adjust out-side. This
will give a more even result.
– Remove any metal or aluminium foil packaging and/or accessories before
defrosting
Defrosting of fruit and vegetables
– Fruit and vegetables that are to be used raw later should not be fully
defrosted in the appliance, but left to complete defrosting at room
temperature outside the microwave oven
– Fruit and vegetables that are to be cooked immediately afterwards can be
cooked straight from frozen using a higher power level.
Ready made meals
– Ready made meals in metal packages or plastic containers with metal lids
should be heated or defrosted in your microwave oven only if they are
explicitly marked as being suitable for microwave use. Please follow the
operating instructions printed on the packages (e.g. remove the metal lid
and prick the plastic foil).

You can’t find cooking details for
specific quantity of food.
The food is too dry.
The food is not yet defrosted,
heated through or cooked on
completion of programme time.
The food is overcooked on the
outside and undercooked in the
middle on completion of cooking
time.
Base programming on a similar
type of food. Lengthen or shorten the
cooking time accordingly:
Double quantity = almost double
time
Half quantity = half time
Set a shorter cooking time or
reduce the microwave power
output.
Select a longer programme time or
a higher microwave power setting.
Note that larger food will require a
longer time.
Next time, try a lower power
setting for a longer time. Stir
liquids, such as soup, periodically.
