Instruction for use
Using Your Oven
In the following, please find all important instructions for
the use of the oven.
As this manual applies to several microwave ovens,
some specifications may differ from model to model.
1 Potential dangers
Caution !
Microwave ovens may only be used to warm up or
heat up food or drinks. Never use your microwave
oven for other purposes such as drying textiles or
other objects, let alone life animals. This may cause
acute fire(s) or accident hazard.
1. If you install or start up your microwave oven without
first reading the instructions for use:
Misuse may damage your health and endanger
your life.
Mistakes made in installation and connection may
potentially damage the appliance itself and your
kitchen furniture.
2. Over boiling
When heated in a microwave oven, liquids may
overheat beyond their boiling point without you being
able to see it (boiling causes non visible bubbling).
Caution: By merely touching a serving dish as you take
it out, steam bubbles may unexpectedly and suddenly
form and the liquid in the serving dish may unexpectedly
boil over.
(Danger to get severely scalded)
You can prevent such an occurrence, by simply putting a
clean glass rod into the dish, filled with liquid. However
before removing the serving dish, observe if the boiling
liquid bubbles up as usual.
In mixed food with different moisture levels, the
microwaves heat up the moister ingredients far
stronger.
Baby food heated up in glasses or bottles may only
be handed to your child after having checked the
temperature of the food or drink.
As different ingredients may be warmed up at varying
degrees, the dish/bottle containing baby food may
feel only lukewarm, whereas the food inside is far
more heated up. For this reason, always shake or
stir the baby food evenly so that the heat is
distributed.
3. Suitable cooking ware
Always ensure that your dishes and pots are
compatible with microwave ovens.
Cooking ware made of the following materials is
best suited:
Fire-resistant glass or ceramics
Heat-resistant and microwave suited plastic.
Heat-resistant porcelain / stoneware
The following materials may be used only for brief
operation (e.g. warming up) as long as it is under
constant supervision in case of fire and the
manufacturer explicitly states that the materials are
suitable for microwaves.
Wickerwork
Wood / wooden skewer
Plastic cups / dishes etc.
White paper trays / cartons
1.1 Very important !
The following items are under no circumstances
suitable for microwave cooking:
Metal containers, cutlery or skewers
Containers with metal trimming (e.g. gold rim)
Bags sealed with metal parts (clips)
Cartons coated with plastic film or foil
Coloured or recycled paper
Metal objects may trigger off unwanted sparking and
potentially damage the appliance.
Coated cartons, coloured or recycled paper may contain
substances that may lead to overheating and fire.
If your appliance is also equipped with a fan or a
function, make sure the dishes you use have a high
heat resistance.
2 Where to Install the Oven
1. Before installing your new appliance, you need to
check as for visible external damage.
Under no circumstances should the appliance be
started, if it is damaged.
Therefore, thoroughly check the appliance as for:
Damaged packaging, indicating that the appliance
may have been damaged during shipment
Damaged cabinet
Damaged door glass panel
Visible damage to the cable / plug
If you suspect any damage, please have the appliance
tested by the customer support service.
At all costs prevent the emission of any hazardous
microwave radiation by not starting up a damaged oven.

English
Instruction for use
f) Place the undercarriage in the circular track on the
oven interior floor
g) Lay the turntable onto the undercarriage. By gently
turning it, the guide fits into the drive shaft.
Place the appliance on an even and non-skid
surface.
It must be stable enough to easily support the appliance
even if the oven contains goods.
Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the
foremost edge of the worktop and the front of the
oven door.
You will thus prevent the appliance from tilting forward
when the door is open.
Install the oven in a place where it is protected
against splashing water or dripping liquids.
Never operate the appliance outdoors. Sunlight and
humidity may impair operational safety.
Never expose your microwave oven to direct sunlight
(overheating hazard),
Do not install the appliance in the immediate vicinity
of heat sources such as radiators or cookers.
The following minimum clearances between other
objects / walls must be maintained for safety
purposes:
- Side I/r clearance at least
- Rear clearance at least 10 cm
- Upper clearance
The appliance must not be built into a
cupboard.
The oven must not be built in underneath a panel
or a cupboard.
at least 10 cm
5cm
4 Rating Plate
The rating plate with technical specifications is located on
the cabinet, at the rear of the oven.
5 Plugging in your appliance
Your appliance must be connected to a power socket
with grounded connection, which complies with the
respective regulations and has been installed by an
authorised specialists.
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make
sure that the voltage (V) and fuse amperage (A) specified
on the rating plate of the oven correspond with the
electrical power supply in your home.
If these specifications do partly or not at all correspond,
immediately contact your local customer support service
or your dealer and do not plug in the appliance under any
circumstances.
When operating the microwave oven for the first
time, make sure that:
The power cable of the oven is not led underneath
the oven base, which does get hot, and does not
come into contact with sharp edges or hot objects.
The power cable does not extend into the other
kitchen work areas.
The power cable does not droop from the worktop
and nobody can get caught in it.
The power cable does not come into contact with
moisture (e.g. when wiping the worktop or rinsing).
The power plug is easily accessible and can quickly
be unplugged in case of danger.
The power plug is always firmly inserted in the socket
and loose contact cannot cause any fire hazards.
Slack power plugs or sockets must be immediately
repaired by a skilled electrician.
No curtains are nearby.
6 Using the Microwave Oven
For some models a built under - mounting set is
commercially available. Please ask your dealer the
respective customer support service.
CAUTION !
During operation clouds of steam escape through the air
vents of the appliance and it may get very hot within the
space of the above mentioned minimum clearances. The
microwave oven should thus be installed so that no
objects sensitive to heat or moisture are located near the
minimum clearances.
Avoid any possible overheating of the oven caused by
unintentionally covering or sealing the air vents.
When in operation the base of the oven may become
very hot. The worktop must thus be accordingly heatÂresistant.
or
1. Before switching on the appliance, you should
familiarise yourself with the following guidelines:
Never operate the oven when it is empty.
Otherwise it could get damaged.
To prevent the oven from being operated inadvertently
without contents, always leave a glass of water in the
cavity when the appliance is out of use.
Never heat liquids or food(s) in sealed dishes
Within sealed dishes overpressure can quickly develop
and thus cause the dish to burst. This leads to potentially
serious accidents.
The following items are also liable to burst due to
developing overpressure: eggs in shells, nuts in
shells or any food(s) vacuum packed in plastic
foil.
Therefore, always pierce raw eggs on two sides and
remove the foil or at least cut it open on one whole side,
before you put it into the oven. Remove nutshells.

English
Instruction for use
Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended
in a recipe, make sure that it tightly adheres to the
cookware or food and a gap of at least 2.5 cm is left
between the aluminium foil and the cooking
compartment walls.
Otherwise sparking may occur inside the oven and the
appliance could consequently get damaged.
In order to ensure that the seal is constantly
protected adequately against hazardous escaping
microwaves, always make sure that:
a) No objects (dishcloths, parts of food
packaging etc.) are caught between the door and
cabinet
b) Door seal or door hinges are not
damaged or soiled (also see section on "Cleaning and
Care")
Do not touch - Scalding hazard
During operation your microwave oven may present
scalding hazards in the following components:
on the door - glass panel
on the lateral air vents
on the underside of the oven
2. Prevention of smoke or fire in the
microwave oven
If food(s) overheats, smoke may develop or smouldering
may start inside the oven.
Food(s) with a high sugar or fat content are particularly
prone to this hazard.
The microwave oven is therefore not suitable for:
frying
making popcorn
melting sugar or fats
cooking dried beans etc.
When preparing food(s) with uncertain
compositions, you should keep an eye on the
appliance until the end of the set cooking time.
2.1 How to react when smoke develops inside the
oven
Should smoke or fire develop inadvertently inside the
oven, this problem can usually be easily overcome by
taking the following correct steps:
Whatever happens, keep the oven door closed.
First thing, switch off the appliance immediately
Then switch off the power supply by unplugging the
appliance or activating the fuse safety switch.
Open the oven to take out the burnt food only when
you can no longer detect any smoke.
7 How to operate your microwave oven
( FIG. B )
1. The controls offer user-friendly operation so that you
can quickly familiarise yourself with your appliance and
can optimise your use of it after studying the
aforementioned and following guidelines and regulations
in detail.
Operating tasks are thus restricted to settings:
desired cooking mode
desired cooking time
2. You can pause operation at any time by:
Pressing the door opening key
(not all models are equipped with)
respectively opening the oven door
The timer will stop automatically and resumes its
operation as soon as the oven door is firmly closed again
or: Resetting the timer to "0"
3. Setting the operating mode (power level)
Set the respective function symbol (FIG.B) according to
the required power level.
Each level corresponds e.g.
to around 150 W if the appliance has a total capacity of
750 W or
to around 160 W if the appliance has a total capacity of
8OO W
The operating mode switch can also be set between the
levels, if your cooking recipe recommends a lower or
higher wattage.
4. Setting the cooking time
Timer (FIG. B )
By turning the timer clockwise you can set the cooking
time up to max. 30 Min. respectively 60 Min. (depends on
Mod./Type)
Please make sure you do not turn the timer over its limit.
Caution ! The cooking process will immediately start
as soon as you move the timer from position " 0 " and
the oven door is shut. Therefore, leave the door open
and only close it when you have correctly entered all
settings.
If you wish to set the cooking time to less than the max.
time, turn the timer first to max. 30 / 60 min. and then
back to the desired cooking time. It will thus work more
urately.
acc
In most models a warning beeper will sound when the
timer has elapsed.
For cooking times longer than 30 / 60 min. you can
simply set the timer again when the first time period has
elapsed.
CAUTION ELECTRIC SHOCK
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
extinguish smouldering or burning food inside the
oven with water. In this case serious accidents may be
caused by electric shock.
5. Defrosting
This function facilitates the thawing of frozen food.
First use the operating mode switch to select the
mode (Defrost)
