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

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.

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.

1

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.

DESCRIPTIONS OF SYSTEMS (COOKING MODES) AND COOKING
TABLES

If your desired food cannot be found in the cooking table,
fi nd information for similar food.

The information displayed applies to cooking in a single
level.

Cooking times are rough estimates and may vary subject
to some conditions.

When cooking larger chunks of meat, vegetables, or
pastry, a lot of steam will be generated inside the oven,
which in turn may condense on the oven door. This is a
normal phenomenon which will not aff ect the operation
of the appliance. After the cooking process, wipe the

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply
and wait for the appliance to cool down.

Children should not clean the appliance or perform
maintenance tasks without proper supervision.

Aluminium fi nish

Clean the aluminium fi nish with non-abrasive liquid
cleaners intended for such surfaces. Apply the cleaner
onto a wet cloth and clean the surface. Then, rinse the
surface with water. Do not apply the cleaner directly onto
the aluminium fi nish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sponges.
Note: The surface should not come into contact with
oven cleaning sprays as this may result in visible and
permanent damage.

Stainless steel sheet front side of the
housing

(depending on the model)
Clean this surface only with a mild detergent (soapsuds)
and a soft sponge that will not scratch the fi nish. Do not
use abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing solvents as
they may damage the housing fi nish.

CONVENTIONAL OVEN CLEANING

You may use the standard cleaning procedure to clean
stubborn dirt in the oven (using cleaners or an oven
spray). After such cleaning, rinse the cleaner residues
thoroughly.

Clean the oven and the accessories after each use
to prevent the dirt from burning into the surface. The
easiest way to remove fat is by using warm soapsuds
while the oven is still warm.

With stubborn dirt and grime, use conventional oven
cleaners. Rinse the oven thoroughly with clean water to
remove all cleaner residue.
Never use aggressive cleaners, abrasive cleaners,
abrasive sponges, stain and rust removers etc.

Clean the accessories (baking sheets) with hot water
and detergent.

The oven, the oven cavity and the baking trays are lined
with a special enamel coating for a smooth and resistant
surface. This special coating makes cleaning at room
temperature easier.

Lacquer-coated surfaces and plastic parts

(depending on the model)
Do not clean the knobs and buttons, door handles,
stickers, and rating/type plates with abrasive cleaners or
abrasive cleaning materials, alcohol-based cleaners, or
with alcohol.
Immediately remove any stains with a soft non-abrasive
cloth and some water, in order to avoid damaging the
surface.
You may also use cleaners and cleaning materials
intended for such surfaces as instructed by their
respective manufacturers.

Appliance door

The door is attached to the appliance and may not be
removed. Also, the door may not be disassembled or
otherwise tapered with.

The aluminium-coated surfaces should not come
into contact with oven cleaning sprays as this may result
in visible and permanent damage.

USING THE AQUA CLEAN FUNCTION TO CLEAN THE OVEN

Pour 0.6 l water into the deep baking tray and place it in the lower guide.

Choose ”Extra/Additional Functions” in the main
menu and select the Aqua Clean symbol.

Press the START key.

After 4 minutes, food residues on the oven enamel walls will have softened and they will be easy to clean with a
damp cloth.

Use the Aqua Clean function when the oven has fully cooled down.
