Cooking - Miele M 626 EC Operating Instructions Manual

Practical tips
Be careful when removing a dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
Although heat is not normally produced
in the container itself by the micro-
waves, (apart from stoneware and simi-
lar dishes), heat transfer from the food
to the container may be considerable,
making the container itself hot.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes
once a programme has ended to allow
heat to be distributed evenly.
After re-heating food, especially
food for babies and small children,
stir the food or shake the container
and check that the temperature
does not pose any danger. Double
check after it has been left to stand.

select power setting 5 or for M 616 EG

have been kept stored. Vegetable cook-
ing times depend on the texture of the
vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain
water and usually cook more quickly.
Stir and turn food at least once during

cooking.

Ensure that perishable types of
food, such as meat and fish, are
cooked for an appropriate length of
time.
