Congratulations on buying your new
microwave oven with grill.
Before switching your appliance on for the first
time, we would like you to familiarize yourself with
your new appliance. In this manual you will find
important notes on safety and operation. These
will serve to ensure your personal safety and the
lasting value of your appliance.
You will find notes on Page 4 that you ought to
observe before operating the appliance for the
first time.
The chapters entitled “Features" and “Operation"
tell you all about what your appliance can do and
how you operate it.
The chapter entitled “Cleaning and Care" gives
tips on how to keep your appliance looking good.
And now we wish you lots of fun cooking.

dispose of it according to local regulations.
Be careful to remove all accessories from the
packaging. Keep packaging elements and plastic
bags away from children.
This appliance is labelled in accordance
with the European Directive 2002/96/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.
Check the appliance for transport damage before
installing it.
The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist, paying attention to
the relevant regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations.

The serial number of the appliance can be found on
the quality control slip which is included with these
instructions. This quality control slip should be kept,
for guarantee reasons, together with your operating
and assembly instructions.
Read through these instructions attentively before
operating your appliance for the first time. Keep the
instruction manual near your appliance for further
reference.
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories
before using them for the first time. This will
eliminate any 'newness’ smells and soiling (see

General safety information
Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged.
Caution: the appliance heats up during operation.
Keep children away. Only operate the appliance
under supervision.
When connecting electrical appliances in the
proximity of the oven, make sure that connecting
cables do not come into contact with hot cooking
surfaces.
Caution! You will subject yourself to an accident
risk if you close the door improperly. You might jam
and crush your fingers and hands.
Caution: risk of burns. The grill heating element
gets very hot during operation; observe appropriate
caution when removing food.
Caution: fire risk! Never place combustible items
in the cooking compartment, as they could ignite
when switched on unintentionally.
The microwave must only be switched on when
foodstuffs (or beverages) are located in the cooking
compartment. Switching on the empty appliance
could overload the appliance. An exception to this
rule is for the short-term testing of cookware (see
“Information about cookware”).
The appliance door must always shut tight. For this
reason, any food residue or cooking remains must
be removed from the door seal area before use.
In the event that the appliance door or door seal is
damaged or broken (glass panel), the appliance
must not be used until it has been repaired by a
qualified customer service technician.
Caution: Children must only be permitted to
operate the appliance without supervision if
comprehensive instructions have been given with
regard to safe operation and the dangers of
improper use.
Protect your microwave appliance from excess heat
and dampness. Condensation will often accumulate
on the door window, inner walls and bottom. This
process is quite normal, and is not detrimental to
appliance functions. However, to prevent the buildup of excess water, simply wipe the condensation
from these surfaces after use.
To avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the
appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam jet
cleaning devices.
Isolate the appliance from the mains during every
maintenance operation. To do this, remove the
mains plug or switch off the corresponding fuse.
Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
The cooking compartment lamp may be replaced
by a qualified customer service technician only.
Do not open the appliance housing. This appliance
operates at high voltages.
As the user, you are responsible for maintenance
and proper use in the household. No warranty
claims can be lodged for any damage resulting
from failure to observe these instructions.
Subject to technical change without notice.
Safety information concerning
microwave operation
Foodstuffs that are cooked in containers made from
plastic, paper or other combustible materials must
be carefully monitored during the heating process.
The appliance door must not be opened if smoke
can be seen within the cooking compartment. In
this case, switch off the appliance and switch off
the cooker’s automatic circuit breaker in the fuse
box.
Never place foodstuffs directly into the appliance,
but in their packaging or appropriate receptacle.
Take care that any boiled-over liquid cannot
penetrate the internal appliance components.
Risk of scalding! When heating up liquids, always
place a teaspoon in the receptacle with the liquid
to prevent boiling retardation. Boiling retardation
means that the liquid reaches boiling point without
producing the customary vapour bubbles. The
slightest vibration of the receptacle can then cause
the liquid to boil over or spit violently, which in turn
can lead to personal injury such as scalding.
Baby food: When heating up baby food, always
insert the receptacle without the lid or teat. Once
heated, the baby food should be stirred or shaken
thoroughly in order to distribute the heat evenly.
Always test the temperature of the food before
feeding your baby.
Risk of scalding!
Risk of explosion!
Never heat up food or
beverages in sealed containers.
Risk of explosion! Alcoholic beverages must not
be heated to a high temperature.
Never heat up food in heat-retaining packaging, as
this may ignite. Food-stuffs that are cooked in
containers made from plastic, paper or other
combustible materials must be carefully monitored
during the heating process.
Food wrapped in plastic foil may explode, and the
foil melt when heated in a microwave.
Never cook eggs in their shells or heat up cooked
eggs, as they may crack or explode. The same
applies to shellfish and crustaceans. For fried or
poached eggs, always prick the yolk before
cooking.
For foodstuffs with hard crusts or skins, such as
apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, always
prick the skin before cooking to prevent the skin
from bursting.
When drying herbs, fruit, bread or mushrooms in
the microwave, the drying process must be
carefully monitored, as overdrying can create a fire
hazard.
Never heat up cooking oil in the microwave, as it
may ignite.
Porcelain or ceramic cookware often features
small perforations in the handles or lid. These
perforations conceal a cavity below. Any liquid that
penetrates this cavity may cause the cookware to
crack.
Selecting a heat setting or cooking time that is
much too high may cause the foodstuff to ignite and
the appliance to be damaged.
Food that is cooked or heated in the microwave
transfers a large amount of heat to the cookware,
which can therefore become very hot. For this
reason, oven gloves should always be used.

Cooking methods
Microwave operation
Microwaves are converted to heat when applied to
foodstuffs. The micro-wave oven is ideal for quick
defrosting, warming, melting and cooking.
Microwave power settings
850 W: Quick heating of beverages and liquids.
600 W: Heating and cooking of meals.
425 W: Cooking of meat and heating of sensitive
meals.
200 W: Simmering and raising.
100 W: Gentle defrosting of sensitive meals.
Grill operation
The high-power grill provides intensive heating of
the food surface, and thus an even degree of
browning. The temperature can be set within the
range from 100 - 220 °C in 5 ° steps, enabling you to
control the grill power according to the optimum
cooking method for the respective food-stuff:
reduced power for sensitive foods, e.g. au gratin
dishes, and full power for intensive browning, e.g.
steaks.
Grill with combined microwave oven
The grill and microwave oven are operated
simultaneously. Not only is the food crispy and
brown, but it cooks more quickly and uses less
energy.
The appliance features a cooling fan which
switches on while the appliance is operating. When
the appliance is switched off, the cooling fan
continues operating for some time.
The oven lighting comes on during operation and
when the door is open.
A flashing symbol in the display shows that a value
has not yet been confirmed and can be set.
To end the cooking process prematurely, simply
press the Cancel key twice.
On completion of the cooking duration, an audible
signal will sound, and the appliance switches itself
off automatically.
After a power cut, the switched on appliance stays
switched off for safety reasons. Press the
confirmation key to continue a set program.

What you should know about utensils
Use utensils made of temperature-resistant glass,
porcelain, ceramics or earthenware. Heat-resistant
plastic designed for micro-waves can also be used.
These materials allow microwaves to penetrate.
Suitable:
glass, porcelain, ceramics and earthenware or
heat-resistant plastic.
Metal does not allow microwaves to penetrate.
Foods in closed metal containers will not heat. You
can however use open, flat, metal containers, e.g.
aluminium trays provided these are not deeper than
2-3 cm. Make sure that metal objects are at least
2 cm from the oven walls and the inner side of the
door; possible sparking can destroy the glass on
the inner side of the door.
In many cases you can use serving dishes. This
saves on washing-up. Only use crockery decorated
with silver and gold if it is guaranteed by the
manufacturer as suitable for microwave.
If you are uncertain as to whether you can use a
specific container, you can conduct a utensil test:
place the empty utensil in the appliance for
20 seconds at »850 W«. If it becomes hot or should
there even be sparks, it is not suitable.
Important!
The microwave should not be switched on
without food. The only exception is the utensil
test.
Heated food gives off heat. Utensils can therefore
become hot. When removing food always use an
oven glove.

Practical tips on microwave use
When defrosting, always place the food in an open
container (without lid) or in the glass tray.
When defrosting meat, you will obtain the best
results when the meat pieces, e.g. minced meat,
have been frozen flat within the container.
Take particular care not to overcook the food!
Cooking in a microwave means short cooking and
heating times. It can be very easy to forget about
when the food will be ready. To be on the safe side,
use a slightly shorter cooking time, check the food,
and then continue cooking if necessary.
Flat pieces of food will cook quicker than thick
pieces. For this reason, distribute the food as
evenly as possible in the respective container. You
should also avoid placing pieces of food on top of
each other.
The containers into which the food is placed should
be closed properly. If you do not have the matching
lid for a container, simply use a plate, heat-resistant
plastic foil or special microwave foil.
The greater the volume of food, the longer the
cooking/heating time will be. The rule of thumb is:
double the volume = double the time, half the
volume = half the time.
Never insert too much at once into the microwave.
Small amounts will cook much better than large
amounts. Furthermore, it is often more efficient to
cook or heat two portions separately than at the
same time.
For some foodstuffs, it may be necessary to stir (e.g.
stew) or turn (e.g. large roast) the food.
In microwave cooking, it is no longer necessary to
add the customary amounts of oil or water.
Moistening the food with water and brushing roasts
with oil is sufficient.
Use salt and other condiments sparingly, as
microwave cooking generally retains most of the
food’s characteristic taste.
Having removed the cooked food from the
microwave, you should allow the food to stand for a
while. This enables the heat to distribute itself more
evenly, and also ensures a 'persistent' cooking
effect.
Practical tips on grilling
Use only well-hung meat with all fat and sinews
removed. Rinse the meat briefly, dab dry with
kitchen roll and then season. Do not season the
meat with salt until it has been grilled.
Beef or pork steaks should be cut approx. 2 – 3 cm
thick. Push flatter pieces together to form a round
slice, place a piece of string around the outside
and tie together.
It is recommended to insert the glass tray on the
first or second level.
When grilling, always close the oven door.
Turn the food once after approximately 2/3 of the
cooking time. It is recommended to turn the food
with a pair of barbecue tongs. Do not prick the food
with a fork, otherwise the juices will run out and the
meat will be dry.
Remember, red meat, e.g. beef, browns more
quickly than white meat, e.g. veal and pork. Grilled
white meat or even fish fillet is often only lightly
browned on the outside, but is still cooked and
juicy on the inside.

5. Practical tips
18
How to avoid soiling the oven
When heating food, in particular meals on plates,
always cover the food. Upturned plates, special
microwave film or plate covers of microwavecompatible plastic are all suitable covers.
When preparing meat in sauces, as well as
vegetables or side dishes, always use covered
microwave-compatible containers.
Pierce poultry skin several times before grilling.
Use a fork or toothpick. In this way blisters will not
form, fat escapes and skin is crispier.
Do not allow food to cook for too long in combined
mode. Overheating quickly results in unnecessary
soiling.
Meat and poultry dishes as well as other fatty foods
are best prepared on combined mode in a high,
open container (e.g. Pyrex, Arcoflam).
Tilt down grill heating element
You can tilt down the grill heating element in order
to clean the oven interior easily.
Only clean the
microwave oven when it is cold.
Turn the two
locking clips to the front. Then carefully tilt down
the grill heating element.
Caution: Never switch on
the oven when the grill heating element is tilted
down. Securely fasten the grill heating element
after cleaning. The locking lugs should face to the
rear.
Looking after your appliance
Appliance exterior
All you need to do is wipe the outside with a damp
cloth and then dry it with a soft cloth. Do not use any
abrasive sponges. Do not use stainless steel
cleaner or caustic, abrasive or strongly alkaline
cleaning agents (such as oven spray) because
these are aggressive to the panel surface. If such
agents are accidentally used, immediately wipe
them off with water.
Regularly clean the door seal and remove any food
residue or cooking remains from the door seal area.
The appliance door must always shut tight.
Oven
Mostly it is sufficient to wipe the oven with a damp
cloth. If soiling is more pronounced, e.g. in the area
of the grill, use mild cleaners. Before cleaning
allow the appliance to cool down. Never use oven
spray or grill cleaner. If the bottom of the oven
interior is soiled, it can be cleaned with a cleaning
agent suitable for ceramic (ceran) hobs. If you have
prepared meals which give off a strong smell, heat
a cup of water with a few drops of lemon juice for
1– 2 minutes at 850 W setting. This helps to
dissipate any odour. Then remove moisture with a
cloth.
Glass tray
Soak the glass tray immediately after use in water
with washing up liquid. In this way any soiling which
remains can be easily removed with a brush or
washing-up sponge. The glass tray is dishwasherproof.
6. Cleaning and care
Note:
to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the
appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam jet
cleaning devices – risk of short circuits!
Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning,
please wait until the oven has cooled to
hand-warm.
Should your appliance malfunction for any reason,
this is often due to a minor problem which you
yourself can eliminate. The table below contains
some advice to help you.

Disassembly of the front window
The oven door is actively ventilated. Dust and
grease particles may therefore settle after some
time. Detach the front window to remove this
soiling.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the bottom screw from the door handle.
• Remove the top screw from the door handle and
detach the door handle.
• Hold the front window with one hand and lightly
shake the door to and fro. The glass window can
be removed towards you.
You can now clean the front window.
Install in the reverse order.
In doing so, make sure that you first insert the
window on the hinge side and that you hold it with
one hand to stop it from falling out.
