WIRE GUIDES

Wire guides allow preparation of the food on four
levels (please note that the levels/guides are
counted from the bottom up).
Guides 3 and 4 are intended for grilling, and guide
1 is used with microwave systems when food is
prepared in a glass baking dish.

OVEN DOOR SWITCH

The switches deactivate oven heating, the fan,
and the microwaves when the oven door is
opened during the cooking process. When the
door is closed, the switches turn the heaters and
microwaves back on.

COOLING FAN

The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools
the housing and the appliance control panel.

EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN

After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan
continues to operate for a short while in order to
provide additional cooling for the oven. (Extended
cooling fan operation depends on the temperature in
the center of the oven.)

OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES

GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking with all

oven systems and for cooking with microwaves. It
can also be used as a serving tray.

Never use the grid, the shallow baking
sheet or the deep baking tray or any other metal
part or accessory when operating a system with
microwaves!

The GRID is used for grilling or as support for a pan,
baking tray or baking dish with the food.

There is a safety latch on the grid. Therefore, the
grid has to be lifted slightly at the front when pulling it
out from the oven.

The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for baking
pastry and cakes.

* (depends on model)
The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for roasting meat
and baking moist pastry. It can also be used as a
drip tray.

Never place the deep baking tray in the first guide
during the cooking process, except when grilling food or
using the roasting spit and you are only using the deep tray
as a drip tray.

The grid or the tray should always be inserted into
the groove between the two wire profiles.

Never use the grid, the shallow baking
sheet or the deep baking tray or any other metal
part or accessory when operating a system with
microwaves!

WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a
competent person to carry out any service or repair
operation which involves removal of the cover that
protects against exposure to microwave radiation.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
Heed the minimum distance between the upper
edge of the oven and the nearest object above it.

The appliance is intended for use in households and
similar environments, such as:

- staff pantries in stores and other working
environments;

- family farms;

- accommodation units for guests at hotels, motels,
and other accommodation or lodging establishments;

- bed and breakfast establishments.

The microwave oven is intended for heating food and
beverages. Drying food or clothing and heating of hot
packs or pads, slippers, sponges, moist cloths etc.
may result in injury, ignition, or fire.

Only use utensils suitable for use in microwave
ovens.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven as such packaging may
ignite.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling; therefore take care when handling
the container with the heated beverage.

The contents of baby bottles and baby food jars
should be shaken or stirred and their temperature
checked before feeding in order to avoid burns.

Eggs in their shell should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.

If you observe smoke, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the oven door closed in order to
stifle any flames.
Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from the

Do not leave any accessories or utensils in your
oven when it is off. To avoid damage, do not switch
on an empty oven.

Do not use receptacles made of porcelain,
ceramics, or clay, if there are pores in the material
or if the inside is not glazed. Once heated up, the
moisture that would penetrate these pores could
cause cracking. Only use the cookware intended for
use in a microwave oven.

Always read and observe the instructions for
heating in a microwave oven, specified on the food
packaging.

Be careful when heating alcohol-containing food, as
a combustible mixture of alcohol and air may form
inside the oven. Open the door carefully.

When using the microwave or the combined
microwave and convection functions, use of metallic
cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal clips/
fasteners for frozen food is not recommended.
After heating, stir the food or leave it to rest until the heat
is evenly distributed.

Regularly clean the oven and remove any food

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts,
including any transport equipment (cardboard and
polystyrene inserts), from the oven.

and regular detergent. Do not use any abrasive
cleaners.

MICROWAVE FUNCTION

Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting, and
defrosting of food. They allow quick and efficient
cooking without changing the colour or shape of the
food.

Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting, and
defrosting of food. They allow quick and efficient
cooking without changing the colour or shape of the
food.

1

Their behaviour:

– They are reflected by metals.
– They travel through all other materials.
– They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar

molecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules
begin to move rapidly, thereby generating heat.The
microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 centimeters
deep into the food. If the food is thicker, the core
of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in
conventional cooking.

Never use or activate a microwave system if

the oven is empty.
