3
▯ 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.
Risk of serious damage to health!
▯ 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.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ 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.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ Penetrating moisture may cause an electric
shock. Do not use any high-pressure
cleaners or steam cleaners.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ When replacing the cooking compartment
bulb, the bulb socket contacts are live.
Before replacing the bulb, unplug the
appliance from the mains or switch off the
circuit breaker in the fuse box.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ 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.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ The appliance is a high-voltage appliance.
Never remove the casing.
Risk of burns!
▯ The appliance becomes very hot. Never
touch the interior surfaces of the cooking
compartment or the heating elements.
Always allow the appliance to cool down.
Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
▯ Accessories and ovenware become very
hot. Always use oven gloves to remove
accessories or ovenware from the cooking
compartment.
Risk of burns!
▯ 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.
Risk of burns!
▯ 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 yolk 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.
Risk of burns!
▯ 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

Risk of scalding!
▯ When you open the appliance door, hot
steam may escape. Open the appliance
door with care. Keep children at a safe
distance.
Risk of scalding!
▯ Water in a hot cooking compartment may
create hot steam. Never pour water into the
hot cooking compartment.
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 glass rod/spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Risk of scalding!
▯ The accessible parts become hot during
operation. Never touch the hot parts. Keep
children at a safe distance.
Risk of injury!
▯ Scratched glass in the appliance door may
develop into a crack. Do not use a glass
scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or
detergents.
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.
5
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.
– Water in the cooking compartment when the
cooking compartment is hot: Never pour water
into the cooking compartment when the cooking
compartment is hot. Steam will be created. The
temperature change can cause damage to the
glass floor panel.
– Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by
producing sparks.
– Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed
cooking compartment for long periods.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can
lead to corrosion.
– 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.
– 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.
Environmental protection
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EG concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU
Tips for saving energy
▯ Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the
recipe or in the operating instructions table.
▯ Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking
tins when baking. They absorb the heat
particularly well.
▯ It is best to bake several cakes one after the
other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the
baking time for the second cake.
▯ For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven
off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time
and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of
glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heatresistant 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.
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal reflects
microwaves. Food in covered metal containers will
remain cold.
Caution! 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.
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: Heat the empty ovenware at
maximum power for between 30 and 60 seconds.
Check the temperature of the ovenware during this
period. The ovenware should still be cold or warm to
the touch. The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes
hot or sparks are generated.
