Risk of fire!

■Combustible items stored in the cooking compartment may catch fire. Never store combustible items in the cooking compartment. Never open the appliance door if there is smoke inside. Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box.

■Using the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose is dangerous and may cause damage, e.g. heated slippers and grain or cereal pillows may catch fire, even several hours later. The

2

appliance must only be used for the preparation of food and drink.

■Food may catch fire. Never heat food in heat-retaining packages.

Do not leave food heating unattended in containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials.

Do not select a microwave power or time setting that is higher than necessary. Follow the information provided in this instruction manual.

Never use the microwave to dry food. Never defrost or heat food with a low water content, e.g. bread, at too high a microwave power or for too long.

■Cooking oil may catch fire. Never use the microwave to heat cooking oil on its own.

Risk of explosion!

Liquids and other food may explode when in containers that have been tightly sealed. Never heat liquids or other food in containers that have been tightly sealed.

Risk of serious damage to health!

■The surface of the appliance may become damaged if it is not cleaned properly. Microwave energy may escape. 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; see also section Care and cleaning.

■Microwave energy may escape if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Never use the appliance if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Contact the aftersales service.

■Microwave energy will escape from appliances that do not have any casing. Never remove the casing. For any maintenance or repair work, contact the after-sales service.

Risk of electric shock!

■Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out and damaged power cables replaced by one of our trained after-sales technicians. If the appliance is defective, unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

■The cable insulation on electrical appliances may melt when touching hot parts of the appliance. Never bring

electrical appliance cables into contact with hot parts of the appliance.

■Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use any highpressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

■A defective appliance may cause electric shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

■The appliance is a high-voltage appliance. Never remove the casing.

Risk of burns!

■Accessories and ovenware become very hot. Always use oven gloves to remove accessories or ovenware from the cooking compartment.

■Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment. Never prepare food containing large quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content. Only use small quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content. Open the appliance door with care.

■Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during, or even after, heating. Never cook eggs in their shells or reheat hard-boiled eggs. Never cook shellfish or crustaceans. Always prick the yoke when baking or poaching eggs. The skin of foods that have a peel or skin, such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.

■Heat is not distributed evenly through baby food. Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always remove the lid or teat. Stir or shake well after the food has been heated. Check the temperature of the food before it is given to the child.

■Heated food gives off heat. The ovenware may become hot. Always use oven gloves to remove ovenware or accessories from the cooking compartment.

■Airtight packaging may burst when food is heated. Always observe the instructions on the packaging. Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the cooking compartment.

Risk of scalding!

■When you open the appliance door, hot steam may escape. Open the appliance

3

door with care. Keep children at a safe distance.

■Water in a hot cooking compartment may create hot steam. Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment.

■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 injury!

■Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, or sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

■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!

■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.

■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.
