• Do not try to operate the appliance

while the door is open, as this can lead to a detrimental dose of microwave radiation. It is also important not to break open or manipulate the safety locks.

• Do not jam anything between the

front of the appliance and the door, and make sure that there is no residual food or cleaning agent on the seals.

- the door (bent),

- Hinges and locks (broken or loose),

- Door seals and sealing surfaces.

• Only have the appliance repaired or re-adjusted by the stated service point or by qualified technical staff.

Important safety instructions

When using electrical appliances, elementary safety precautions must be taken, including the following:

 Danger: To reduce the risk of burns,

electric shock, fire, injury or too much contact with microwave radiation:

Before using the appliance, please read all instructions.

• Only use this appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use any caustic chemicals or vapours in this appliance. This micrwave oven is specially designed for heating, cooking, grilling, or defrosting foodstuffs. It is not intended to use in industrial applications or laboratories.

• Do not use the microwave oven when it is empty.

• Do not operate this appliance if there is any visible damage to the cord or plug, if it is not working properly of if it is damaged or has fallen down. Have a faulty power cord or plug replaced by the manufacturer or similarly qualified technicians only.

 Danger: Only allow children to use

the microwave without supervision, if they have been properly instructed and are able to use the appliance safely and if they have understood the danger arising from improper use.

• To minimize the risk of fire in the microwave: When heating food in plastic or paper containers, always keep an eye on the microwave when it is in operation, as these materials can catch fire.

• Remove any ties containing wire from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the microwave.

• If you should see any smoke, switch the appliance off or pull the plug out of the wall socket and keep the door closed in order to choke a possible fire.

• Do not use the interior of the microwave for storage purposes. Do not leave any paper items, kitchen utensils ot food in the microwave when it is not in use.



 Important! Liquids and other foods

must not be heated in airtight containers, as these may explode and damage the appliance.

When heating beverages in the microwave, bubbling may be delayed when the drink boils. Therefore be careful when handling the container.

• Do not fry in the microwave. Hot oil can damage parts of the appliance and utensils and even cause skin burns.

• Eggs in their shells and hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in the microwave, as they may explode, even after completion of the heating process. Food with thick skins, such as potatoes, whole pumpkins, apples and chestnuts must be pricked before cooking. The content of babies' bottles or jars of baby food should be shaken or stirred.

 Danger: Before eating, check the

temperature to avoid potentially lethal burns for babies.

Cooking utensils may become hot from the heat emitted by the food, so that you may require oven gloves to handle them.In this case it should be checked, whether the cooking utensils are suitable for the microwave.

 Danger:Microwave radiation is dan-

gerous! Only have maintenance and repairs requiring the removal of access covers intended for protection against contact with microwave radiation carried out by experts.

Earthing information/Proper installation

This appliance must be earthed. This appliance has a lead with a earthing wire and earthing connector. A correspondingly installed and earthed wall socket is required for this. In case of a short circuit, the danger of an electric shock is reduced by the discharge cable of the earthing. An individual circuit solely for the connection of the microwave is recommended. The use of high voltages is dangerous and can cause fires or other accidents to damage the appliance.

 Danger: Improper use of the groun-

ding connector can cause the risk of an electric shock.

 Note: If you should have any ques-

tions about grounding or the instructions on the use of this electrical appliance, please consult an electrician or a maintenance technician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer shall accept liability for damage to the microwave or injury to persons resulting from failure to comply with the instructions for the electrical connection.

Interference on other appliances

The operation of the microwave can cause interference on your radio, television or similar appliances. If such interference occur, they may be reduced or corrected by the following remedial measures:

• Clean the door and the seal of the microwave.



• Realign the receiver antenna of your radio or television.

• Position the microwave in a different place to the receiver.

• Move the microwave away from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave into another wall socket.The microwave and the receiver should be connected to different circuits.

Before you begin

Basic principles of microwave cookery

• Arrange the food sensibly.

• The thickest parts near the edges.

• Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the shortest possible stated cooking time and increase as required. Food that is cooked too long can begin to smoke or catch fire.

• Cover the food during cooking with a lid suitable for microwave cookery. The lid prevents splashing and helps in the even cooking of the food.

• While cooking, turn the food in the microwave once so that items such as chicken or hamburgers are cooked more quickly.

• Large pieces of food such as joints of meat must be turned at least once.

• Completely re-arrange foods such as meatballs after half the cooking time. Turn them and place the meatballs from the middle of the tabelware to the edge.

Use suitable cookware

• The ideal material for a microwave oven is microwave-permeable, allowing the energy to penetrate the container to heat the food. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Therefore metal containers and cookware should not be used.

• When heating in the microwave, do not use items which made of recycling paper. This can contain tiny metal fragements which generate sparks and/or even cause fires.

• We recommend the use of round/oval cookware instead of square or oblong containers, as food in corner areas tends to overcook. The following list is intended to assist you in selecting the correct tableware.
