Safeguarding the environment

GENERAL

This appliance is designed for domestic use only!
The appliance should not be operated without

food in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.

If you practice operating the oven, put a glass of
water inside. The water will absorb the microwave
energy and the oven will not be damaged.
Do not use the cavity for any storage purposes.

Remove wire twist - ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in the oven.

DEEP-FRYING
Do not use your microwave oven for deep­frying, because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and pan
after cooking.

LIQUIDS
E.G. beverages or water. Overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of
bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot
liquid.

To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and let the teaspoon remain in the
container.

3. After heating, allow standing for a short time,
stirring again before carefully removing the
container from the oven.

CAREFUL
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for
details.
Especially, if cooking or reheating food that
contains alcohol.

After heating baby food or liquids in a baby bottle
or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed and
the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.

Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before
heating!

GENERAL
There are a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.
Ensure that the utensils you use are oven proof
and allow microwaves to pass through them before
cooking.
When you put food and accessories in the
microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accessories
made of metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal comes in contact

with the oven interior, while the oven is in
operation, sparking can occur and the oven could
be damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn
freely before starting the oven.

TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Use the turntable support under
the Glass turntable. Never put any
other utensils on the turntable
support.

• Fit the turntable support in the
oven.

GLASS TURNTABLE
Use the glass turntable with all
cooking methods.
It collects the dripping juices and
food particles that otherwise would
stain and soil the interior of the oven.

• Place the Glass turntable on the turntable
support.

WIRE RACK
Use the high wire rack when
grilling using the Grill functions.

STEAMER

Use the steamer with the
strainer in place for foods such as

fish, vegetables and potatoes.

Use the steamer without the
strainer in place for foods such as

rice, pasta and white beans.
Always place the steamer on the Glass Turntable.

COVER
The cover is used to cover
food during cooking and
reheating with microwaves only
and helps to reduce spattering,
retain food moisture as well as
reducing the time needed.
Use the cover for two level
reheating.

Doneness is available in most of the auto
functions. You have the possibility to personally
control the end result through the Adjust doneness
feature. This feature enables you to achieve higher
or lower end temperature compared to the default
standard setting.
When using one of these functions the oven
chooses the default standard setting. This setting
normally gives you the best result. But if the food
you heated became too warm to eat at once, you
can easily adjust this before you use that function
the next time.

This is done by selecting a doneness level with
the Adjust knob before pressing the Start button.
