Only use the temperature probe recommended for use in this oven.

WARNING: Before replacing the light bulb, make sure the appliance has been disconnected from the power mains, in order to prevent the hazard of an electric shock.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven as they may damage the ﬁ nish or the protective enamel coating. Such damages may lead to cracking of the glass.

Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean the appliance as this may result in an electric shock. The appliance is not intended to be controlled with external timers or special control systems.

The appliance is intended for household use. Do not use it for any other purpose, such as room heating, drying of pets or other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. as this may lead to injury or ﬁ re hazard.

The appliance may only be connected to the power mains by an authorized service technician or expert. Tampering with the appliance or non-professional repair thereof may result in risk of severe injury or damage to the product.

If the power cords of other appliances located near this appliance are caught in the oven door, they may be damaged, which may in turn result in a short circuit. Therefore, keep the power cords of other appliances at a safe distance.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized service technician, in order to avoid hazard.

Safe use of the microwave oven

WARNING: If your oven allows combined operation (microwaves combined with other cooking modes), do not allow the children to use the oven without supervision of an adult person since the oven will reach very high temperatures in such operation modes.

WARNING: If the door or door sealing is damaged, do not use the oven until it is repaired by an adequately trained service technician.

WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves removal of the cover that protects against exposure to microwave radiation.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Heed the minimum distance between the upper edge of the oven and the nearest object above it.

The appliance is intended for use in households and similar environments, such as:

- staﬀ pantries in stores and other working environments;

- family farms;

- accommodation units for guests at hotels, motels, and other accommodation or lodging establishments;

- bed and breakfast establishments.

The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying food or clothing and heating of hot packs or pads, slippers, sponges, moist cloths etc. may result in injury, ignition, or ﬁ re.

Only use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an

eye on the oven as such packaging may ignite. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore take care when handling the container with the heated beverage.

The contents of baby bottles and baby food jars should be shaken or stirred and their temperature checked before feeding in order to avoid burns.

Make sure to only use the cookware that is suitable for use in a microwave oven. Do not use cookware made of steel or cookware with golden or sliver rims.

Do not leave any accessories or utensils in your oven when it is oﬀ . To avoid damage, do not switch on an empty oven.

Do not use receptacles made of porcelain, ceramics, or clay, if there are pores in the material or if the inside is not glazed. Once heated up, the moisture that would penetrate these pores could cause cracking. Only use the cookware intended for use in a microwave oven.

Always read and observe the instructions for heating in a microwave oven, speciﬁ ed on the food packaging.

Be careful when heating alcohol-containing food, as a combustible mixture of alcohol and air may form inside the oven. Open the door carefully.

When using the microwave or the combined microwave and convection functions, use of metallic cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal clips/fasteners for frozen food is not recommended. After heating, stir the food or leave it to rest until the heat is evenly distributed.

Eggs in their shell should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.

If you observe smoke, switch oﬀ or unplug the appliance and keep the oven door closed in order to stiﬂ e any ﬂ ames.

Regularly clean the oven and remove any food residues. Failure to maintain cleanliness in the oven may result in deterioration of its surfaces. This can negatively aﬀ ect the useful life of the appliance and lead to potentially dangerous situations.

BEFORE CONNECTING THE OVEN:

Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from the oven. Some pots, pans, or trays absorb the heat of foods and therefore become very hot.

Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the appliance. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the warranty.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all equipment, accessories, and utensils from the oven and clean them with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

Before using the oven for the ﬁ rst time, heat it with the upper and lower heater system at 200 °C for approximately one hour. The characteristic »new appliance« scent will be released; make sure the room is well ventilated.

MICROWAVE FUNCTION

Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting, and defrosting of food. They allow quick and eﬃ cient cooking without changing the colour or shape of the food.

Their behaviour:

– They are reﬂ ected by metals. – They travel through all other materials. – They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules begin to move rapidly, thereby generating heat.The microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 centimeters deep into the food. If the food is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.

Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven is empty.

SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
