Set the required time using the time
selector.
The duration selected is visible in the
display.
You can set a duration between
10 seconds and 90 minutes. Exception:
If the maximum microwave power level
has been selected, a maximum cooking
duration of 15 minutes can be set. If
you then continue to select full power,
the power level may reduce to 600 W,
and this is shown in the display
(protection against overheating).
The time required depends on:
– the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken straight from the
refrigerator takes longer to cook than
food which has been kept at room
temperature.
– the type and texture of the food.
Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
– the frequency of stirring or turning
the food.
Frequent stirring or turning heats the
food more evenly, and it is therefore
ready in a shorter time.
– the amount of food.
As a general rule, allow approx. time
and a half for double the quantity.
For a smaller quantity, shorten the
duration accordingly.
– the shape and material of the
container.
Touch Start to start the programme.
The interior lighting comes on.
A programme can only be started if the
door is closed.
"door" message
The "door" message in the display is a
reminder that the appliance should not
be used without food inside it.
Operating the appliance without food
can damage the appliance.
If Start is touched without the door
having first been opened, the word
door appears in the display. If the door
has been closed for 20 minutes or
longer, it could mean that there is no
food in the oven. This is to remind you
to open the door and make sure there is
food in the microwave oven before
starting a process. You cannot start a
process until you do this.
