7.6 Energy saving

The appliance contains features

which help you save energy

during everyday cooking:

• Residual heat:

– When the heating function or pro-

gramme operates, the heating ele-

ments are deactivated 10% earlier

(the lamp and fan continue to oper-

ate). For this feature to operate, the

cooking time must be longer than

30 minutes or you must use the

clock functions ( Duration , End

Time ).

– When the appliance is off, you can

use the heat to keep food warm.

The display shows the remaining

temperature.

• Cooking with the lamp off - touch

and hold

for 3 seconds to deacti-

vate the lamp during cooking.

• Eco functions - refer to section "Heat-

ing Functions" (for selected models

only).

7.7 Microwave

Information about operation

General:

• After you deactivate the appliance, let

the food stand for some minutes (refer

to “Microwave Tables: standing

time”).

• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,

metal containers, etc. before you pre-

pare the food.

Cooking:

• Do not use the baking tray or deep

pan (if applicable) with the Microwave

function.

• If possible, cook food covered with

material suitable for use in the micro-

wave. Only cook food without a cover

if you want to keep a crust.

• Do not overcook the dishes by setting

the power and time too high. The

food can dry out, burn or catch fire in

some places.

• Do not use the appliance to cook

eggs in their shells and snails, because

they can burst. With fried eggs, pierce

the yolks first.

• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such

as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with

a fork several times before cooking so

that the food does not burst.

• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer

cooking time.

• Dishes which contain sauce must be

stirred from time to time.

• Vegetables that have a firm structure,

such as carrots, peas or cauliflower,

must be cooked in water.

• Turn larger pieces after half the cook-

ing time.

• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-

sized pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

• Do not use cookware made of porce-

lain, ceramic or earthenware with small

holes, e. g. on handles or unglazed

bottoms. Moisture going into the

holes can cause the cookware to crack

when it is heated.

• The bottom glass (if applicable) is a

work space for heating food or liquids.

It is necessary for the operation of the

microwave oven.

• Always put the glass stick (if supplied)

in the container when you heat liquids,

in order to prevent overcooking or

splashing.

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:

• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a

small upturned plate with a container

below it, or on a defrosting rack or

plastic sieve so that the defrosting liq-

uid can run off.

• Turn the food after half the defrosting

time. If possible, divide and then re-

move the pieces that have started to

defrost.

Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,

quark:

• Do not fully defrost in the appliance,

but let them defrost at room tempera-

ture. This gives a more even result.

Fully remove all metal or aluminium

packaging or parts before defrosting.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables:

• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegeta-

bles, which are to be further prepared
