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.

Causes of damage
Caution!

Creation of sparks: Metal ­ e.g. a spoon in a glass ­ must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Baking tray, greaseproof paper, aluminium foil or ovenware on the cooking compartment floor: Do not place baking trays or ovenware on the cooking compartment floor. Do not line the cooking compartment floor with aluminium foil. This will cause heat accumulation. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance. They damage the appliance by producing sparks.

Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.

Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment for long periods. This will damage the enamel.

Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to corrosion.

Fruit juice: When cooking very moist fruit flans, do not fill the universal pan too generously. Fruit juice which runs out of the universal pan leaves behind stains which cannot be removed.

Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over time.

Heavily soiled 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.

Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance door.

Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").

Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.

Rapid heating will not work if the temperature is set to less than 100 °C. If the temperature in the cooking compartment is only slightly less than the temperature you have set, rapid heating is not necessary. It will not switch on.

Setting rapid heating

Press the c button to activate rapid heating. The c symbol appears next to the temperature you have set. The temperature indicator bars start filling in.

Once all the bars are filled,crapid heating is complete. You will hear a short signal. The symbol goes out. Place your dish in the cooking compartment.

Notes

Rapid heating is cancelled if you change the type of heating.

If a cooking time has been set, this runs independently of rapid heating and counts down immediately when operation is started.

You can use the ° button to check the current cooking compartment temperature during rapid heating.

To ensure an even cooking result, do not place your dish in the cooking compartment until rapid heating is complete.

Cancelling rapid heating

Press the c button. The symbol goes out.

The microwave

Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. The microwave can be used solo, i.e. on its own, or in combination with a different type of heating. You will find information about ovenware and how to set the microwave.

Note:

In the Tested for you in our cooking studio section, you will find examples for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave oven.

Ovenware test

Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

1.Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to 1 minute.

2.Check the temperature occasionally during that time.

Notes regarding ovenware

Suitable ovenware

Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic. These materials allow microwaves to pass through.

You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.

Unsuitable ovenware

Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.

Caution!

Creation of sparks: metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of the door.

The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.

The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.
