of baby food should be shaken or
stirred.

 Danger: Before feeding, check the

temperature to avoid potentially
lethal burns for babies.

Cooking utensils may become hot
from the heat emitted by the food,
so you may require oven gloves to
touch them. In this case it should be
checked if the cooking utensils are
suitable for use in the microwave.

 Danger: Microwave radiation is

dangerous! Arrange for service and
repair work, in which the coverings
that protect you from contact with
microwave radiation need to be
removed, to be carried out only by
trained specialists.

 Danger: Inadequate cleanliness of

the cooking appliance can lead to
destruction of the upper surface,
which on your part influences the
total period of use and could possibly
lead to dangerous situations.

Earthing notice/Correct Installation

This appliance must be earthed. The
appliance has a lead with an earthing
wire and earthing connector. A corre­spondingly installed and earthed wall
socket is required for this. In the case of
a short circuit, earthing with the earthing
cable reduces the risk of an electric
shock. An individual circuit solely for the
connection of the microwave is recom­mended. The use of high voltages is dan­gerous and can cause fires or other
accidents, resulting in damage to the
appliance.

 Danger: Improper use of the earthing

connector can cause the risk of an
electric shock.

 NOTE: Should you have any questions

about earthing or the instructions on
the use of this electrical appliance,
please consult an electrician or a
maintenance technician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer
can accept liability for damage to the
microwave oven or injury to persons
resulting from failure to comply with
the instructions for electrical connection.

Interference with other appliances

The operation of the microwave can
cause interference on your radio, televi­sion or similar appliances.
If such interference should occur, it may
be reduced or corrected with the following
remedial measures:

• Clean the door and the seal of
the microwave.

• Re-align the receiver antenna
of your radio or television.

• Position the microwave in a
different place to the receiver.

• Move the microwave away
from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave into another
wall socket. The microwave and
the receiver should be connected
to different circuits.

Installation of the appliance

• Choose an even surface offering
enough space for the ventilation of
the appliance.

• Ensure that you maintain a minimum
distance of 20 cm from neighbouring
walls/surfaces. Make sure that the
door of the microwave oven can be
opened easily.

• Ensure that the electrical plug is
accessible without problem, so that
in case of danger it can be easily
reached and removed.

• Keep a gap of at least 20 cm free
above the microwave.

• Do not remove the feet underneath
the microwave.

• Do not block air supply and exhaust
openings. Otherwise,it could cause
damage to the appliance.

• Place the appliance as far away as
possible from radios and TV sets.
The operation of a microwave oven
can cause disturbances to radio and
TV reception.

KH 1166

• Connect the appliance to a standard
household wall socket. Make sure
that the voltage and frequency of
the socket are compatible with the
data printed on the nominal rating
label.

 Important: Do not install the micro-

wave above a cooker or any other
appliance generating heat. Installa­tion in such a location could cause
damage to the appliance and lead
to a subsequent lapse of warranty.

• Remove packaging material and any
protective film on the surface of the
casing.

 Note: Do not remove the light grey

flimmer cover plate, which is mounted
in the cooking area to protect the
magnetron!

Before you begin

Basic principles of microwave
cookery

• Arrange the food with consideration.

• The thickest parts near the edges.

• Pay attention to the cooking time.
Select the shortest possible stated
cooking time and increase as required.
Food that is cooked too long can
begin to smoke or catch fire.

• Cover the food during cooking with
a lid suitable for microwave cookery.
The lid prevents splashing and helps
in the even cooking of the food.

• During the preparation of food in
the microwave oven turn it once, so
that dishes such as chicken or hambur­ger are "through" quicker.

• Large pieces of food, such as joints of
meat, must be turned at least once.

• Completely re-arrange foods such as
meatballs after half the cooking
time. Turn them and move the meat­balls from the middle of the cookware
to the edge.

Use suitable cookware

• The ideal materials for a microwave
cooker are microwave permeable, that
means, they permit the energy to
pass through the container to heat
the food.
Microwaves cannot permeate metal.
Therefore, metal containers and
cookware should not be used.

• When using the microwave for hea­ting do not use products made of
recycled paper. These can contain
minute fragments of metal, which
can generate sparks and/or fires.

• We recommend the use of
round/oval cookware instead of
square or oblong containers, as food
in corner areas tends to overcook.
The following list is intended to assist
you in selecting the correct cookware.

Cleaning and care

 Warning: Before cleaning, switch the

microwave off and remove the
power plug from the wall socket.

• Always keep the interior of the
microwave clean.

• If splashes of food or spilt liquids
stick to the walls of the microwave,
wipe them off with a damp cloth.

• Use a mild detergent if the microwa­ve is more heavily soiled.

• Avoid using cleaning sprays and
other aggressive cleaning agents,
as they can cause stains, stripes or a
blurring of the door surface.

• Clean the external sides with a damp
cloth.

• To avoid damage to the functional
components in the interior of the
microwave, do not let any water seep
in through the ventilation slits.

• Regularly remove splashes or conta­minants. Clean the door, both sides
of the viewing window, door seals
and adjacent components with a
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents

• If steam should collect on or around
the outside of the appliance door,
wipe it off with a soft cloth. This can
happen if the microwave is operated
in extremely humid conditions.

• Regularly clean the turnable grill pla­te. Wash the turnable grill plate in a
warm detergent solution or in the
dishwasher. Ensure that, after remo­ving the turnable grill plate from the
floor of the cooking space for clea­ning, it is correctly reinstalled.

• Regularly clean also the roller wheels
and the appliance door to help
prevent excessive noise development.
Simply wipe the bottom of the micro­wave with a mild detergent.

• Regularly eliminate odours. Put a
deep microwave bowl with a cup of
water, juice and peel of a lemon into
the microwave. Heat for 5 minutes.
Wipe off thoroughly and rub dry
with a cloth.

Tips

Freezing and thawing – the easy
way ...

A microwave oven is the ideal appliance
for even and quick thawing of deep­frozen goods. The selection of power,
thawing and standing times depends on
the nature and amount of food.
Microwaves always penetrate food from
the outside to the inside. Therefore,
particularly large items cannot be tha­wed right to the middle, as otherwise
the outer layers may begin to cook.
Correct thawing begins with the
freezing process. Give the matter some
consideration and, as far as possible,
portion the amounts small, flat and
suited to your household. Consider
also the size of the various bowls
or plates with which you will later thaw
the deep frozen foods in the microwave
oven.
In the following thawing chart, several
foods are listed. There, in addition to
details over time and amount, you will
also find the so-called „Stand-Time“.
It serves as a temperature equalisation
period, during which the remaining
warmth in the thawed layers in the
middle is conducted to the still frozen
layers. During this stand time, leave the
deep-frozen goods in the switched off
microwave or outside the appliance.
There may be deviations in the stated
values. These are caused by the different
factors of the foods.

Cooking – the easy way …

• When cooking food, always use
cookware with a lid suitable for
microwave cookery (unless stated
otherwise).
The cooking details refer to food at
refrigerator temperature. First of all,
thaw foodstuffs that are to be
cooked.

 Note: The thawing time for deep-

frozen vegetables (-18°C, approx.
100-1000 g) can vary between 5 and
15 minutes. If in doubt, follow the
instructions on the packet.
Prepare vegetables by washing and
cleaning them before cooking.

Type of food Strawberries

Weight / quantity 250 g

Defrosting time approx. 8 min

Standing time 5 - 10 Min.

Notes/tips

thaw the strawberries
or other fruit in a cove­red bowl.After half the
time has elapsed,
carefully stir them
once.

Preparation instructions are important

• Please observe the various prepara­tion instructions absolutely.
Whilst the addition of liquid is required
(usually 1-2 tblsp. per 100g vegetables)
for some foods, no liquid is required
e.g. for cucumbers, Spanish onions,
mushrooms and spinach. Other foods
must be stirred at least once during
cooking.

Observe stand times

• The so-called "stand time" is particularly
important, as it is in thawing.
The temperature equalisation and
the resulting after-cooking should
always amount to 5 - 10 minutes.

• During this stand time, leave the
food in the switched off microwave
or outside the appliance.

• After this stand time you can season
vegetables or add a little butter if
desired.

• When cooking food in bowls or
deep-frozen convenience foods, pay
attention to the preparation times
for cooking in microwave ovens sta­ted on the packaging.

• The details in the following chart are
intended as reference values only.

Grilling – the easy way …

• Use the metal rack for all grill proces­ses using top heat O. Always place
the turnable grill plate Q under the
metal rack O. In this way roasting
juices/fats, stocks and soiling by food
splashes are captured.

• The grill function is suitable, for
example, for thin slices of meat, fish,
meatballs, shish-kebab, sausage or
pieces of chicken. Toast or rolls can
be toasted with the grill (read also
"Tips“) and gratinated toast (e.g.
Hawaii-Toast) can be made.

• You can directly select the grill function
or select several foods via the quick­selection buttons with the menu
images.

• For some foods, and/or the means of
their preparation, a combined coo­king and grilling process is advisable.
For both possible functions, cooking
and grilling times are automatically
carried out in the corresponding
length. Please also read chapter
"Grill/Combi cooking process“.

• Prepare the food you wish to grill
just as you would usually do.
For example, remove the scales from
fish first, then gut them. Rub chicken
with seasoning and always cook
chicken legs skin side first.

• Turn the food after the first stated
cooking time.
The stated value 1 corresponds with
the time for the first side, value 2 for
the second, following side.

 Note: Make sure to enter the times

for the first and second side

Suitable tableware

For thawing, cooking etc., always use
dishes or bowls suitable for microwave
cookery. In most cases suitable glass
dishes are acceptable. Procure micro­wave cookware in various sizes with
lids.

Baking crispy rolls

By means of the grill function of your
microwave, you can bake crisp rolls.
Before baking, moisten the rolls with a
little water. Bake the rolls for approx.
2 minutes, depending on the amount
and type. So that the rolls have that
'fresh-from-the-oven' taste on the inside,
we recommend that you cut the rolls
after the first period and re-bake for
one minute, the turn and bake for a
further minute.
