Safety

Safety precautions for the avoidance
of too much contact with microwave
energy

• 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.

• Do not operate the microwave when
it is damaged. Above all, it is impor­tant that the door of the appliance
closes properly and there is no damage
on:

- 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.
