:Warning
Risk of scalding!
■ There is a possibility of delayed boiling
when a liquid is heated. This means that the
liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the
surface. Even if the container only vibrates a
little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over
and spatter. When heating, always place a
spoon in the container. This will prevent
delayed boiling.
Risk of serious damage to health!
■ Microwave energy may escape if the
cooking compartment door or the door seal
is damaged. Never use the appliance if the

Never remove the casing. For any
maintenance or repair work, contact the
after-sales service.
:Warning
Risk of injury!
■ Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain
or ceramic ovenware can have small
perforations in the handles or lids. These
perforations conceal a cavity below. Any
moisture that penetrates this cavity could
cause the ovenware to crack. Only use
microwave-safe ovenware.
Risk of injury!
■ If using the appliance in microwave mode
only, placing cookware and containers
made of metal inside the appliance may
cause sparks when the appliance is
operating. This will damage the appliance.
Never use metal containers when using the
appliance in microwave mode only.Use only
microwave-safe cookware or, alternatively,
the microwave in combination with a type of
heating.
:Warning
Risk of electric shock!

Causes of damage en
]Causes of damage
Causes of damage
Caution!
■ Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass –
must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the
inside of the door.
■ Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
■ Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment
may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
microwave unless there is food inside. The short
crockery test is the exception to this rule.
~ "Microwave" on page 12
■ Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Following
operation at high temperatures, only allow the
cooking compartment to cool down with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst
the oven was operating.
■ Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
~ "Cleaning" on page 18
■ Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave output
too high. Use a maximum microwave output of 600
watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The door panels may jump if overloaded.
