– 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.
– 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.
– 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").

Environmental protection
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
an environmentally-responsible manner.
Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here
you can find tips on how to save even more energy when
using the appliance, and how to dispose of your
appliance properly.
Saving energy
▯ During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air so that the extractor hood can work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
▯ Adjust the fan speed to the intensity of the cooking
fumes. Only use intensive mode where this is
required. A lower fan speed means that less energy
is consumed.
▯ If there are intensive cooking fumes, select a higher
fan speed in good time. If cooking fumes have
already spread in the kitchen, the extractor hood
must be operated for longer.
▯ Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer
require it.
▯ Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
▯ Clean and, if required, replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of
the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.

Microwave
Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. The
microwave function can be used "solo", i.e. on its own,
or in combination with the full surface grill.
Note: In the Tables and tips section, you will find examples
for defrosting, heating and dough proving with the
microwave oven.
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.
Microwave power settings
The microwave power settings do not always correspond to the
exact wattage that the appliance uses. You can set five
different power settings for your microwave.
You can select the following microwave power settings:
Notes
‒ The microwave power can be set to 900 watts for a
maximum of 30 minutes. A cooking time of
90 minutes is possible with all other power settings.
‒ The maximum setting is for heating liquids. After a certain
period, the microwave's power output is reduced to below
maximum to protect the appliance.After a cooling period,
