Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Which foods are affected?
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products that are heated to high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).
| Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food | |
|---|---|
| General | Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide. |
| Baking biscuits Oven chips | Max. 200 °C in Top/bottom heating or max. 180 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode. Max. 190° C in Top/bottom heating or max. 170 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode. Egg white and egg yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide. Distribute thinly and evenly over the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out. |
Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
- Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
- Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.
- Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are cooking, baking or roasting.
- It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
- For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance complies with European Directive 2002/ 96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is valid across the EU.

Cooking eggs in your microwave
- Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
- Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
- Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.
- Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
- Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.
- Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
- Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.
- Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
- When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
- Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
- For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
- Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.
Heating food Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Cooking seafood in your microwave
Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.
| Seafood | Power level | Cook time | Directions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fish steaks up to 1½ lbs | medium high (7) | 7–11 min. /lb | Arrange fish on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the outside of rack. Cover with wax paper. Turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 3–5 mins. |
| Fish fillets up to 1½ lbs. | medium high (7) | 7–11 min. /lb | Arrange fillets in a baking dish, turning any thin pieces under. Cover with wax paper. If over ½ inch thick, turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 2–3 mins. |
| Shrimp up to 1½ lbs. | medium high (7) | 7–11 min. /lb | Arrange shrimp in a baking dish without overlapping or layering. Cover with wax paper. Cook until firm and opaque, stirring 2 or 3 times. Let stand 5 mins. |
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning Guide
- For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build–up.
- Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
- Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
- Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
- Never operate the microwave oven without food in the oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza, Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
| Part | Recommendations |
|---|---|
| Oven cavity | Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently. Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh deter-gents or abrasive cleaners. To help loosen baked–on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes. For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. |
| Wire rack | Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-filled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the dishwasher. |
| Metal turntable tray | Remove metal turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray. Wash the metal turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. |
| Ceramic tray | Clean with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. |
| Door seal | Wipe with damp cloth. |
| Part | Recommendations |
| Door glass | Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners. If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accu-mulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. |
| Painted surfaces | Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners. |
| Stainless steel sur-faces/exterior sur-faces | Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or Formula 409® spray on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stain-less Steel Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vine-gar. |
| Plastic & Controls | When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry. |
| Printed areas (words & numbers) | Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum based solvents. |
