2  Preventing material damage

2.1 General

Follow these instructions when using the appliance.
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in­side it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion.
Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment for a long time with the door closed.
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over time.
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not close properly when the appliance is in operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
Keep the seal clean at all times.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.
Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
Clean the appliance on a regular basis and remove any food residue immediately.
Always keep the cooking compartment,
door seal, door and door stop clean. Microwave energy may escape if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is dam­aged.
Never use the appliance if the cooking
compartment door, the door seal or the
plastic door frame is damaged.
Call our after-sales service. Microwave energy will escape from appli­ances that do not have any casing.
Never remove the casing.
Contact our after-sales service if mainten-
ance or repair work is needed.
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
ance door. With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
partment. Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break
it. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance.
Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door

en Environmental protection and saving energy

3  Environmental protection and saving energy

Help protect the environment by using your appliance in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of reusable materials properly.

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat­ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
Information about current disposal methods are available from your specialist dealer or local author­ity.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom­mended settings tell you to do so.
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
¡
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins.
These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
¡
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.
This will maintain the temperature in the cooking
¡
compartment and eliminate the need for the appli­ance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.
The cooking compartment is heated after baking
¡
the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.
There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
¡
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
Accessories that are not being used do not need to
¡
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
This will save the energy that would otherwise be
¡
required to defrost it.
