IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
Do not use corrosive chemicals or
~
vapors in this appliance.
Do not use the oven to heat the
~
room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven could catch fire.
Times for cooking, heating and
~
defrosting food in the convection microwave oven are shorter than that of traditional food preparation methods. Extensive microwaving could dry out food and cause possible ignition. Fire hazard!
Do not use the microwave function
~
to dry bread, flowers, herbs, etc. Use the Convection Bake function.
Do not heat cushions filled with
~
herbs, gel, etc. with the microwave function. The cushions could ignite, even once removed from the oven after heating. This is a fire hazard.
Do not use full power when warming
~
empty dishes or drying herbs. The lack or minimal amount of food could cause damage to the appliance.
Do not use for cleaning and
~
disinfecting utensils and cookware. There is a risk of burns from the high temperatures from the utensil when it is taken out of the oven. This is a fire hazard.
Supervise cooking with grease or
~
oils. Oils and grease could ignite.
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
~
microwave oven, it can easily ignite.
If materials inside the oven ignite,
~
keep the oven door closed to avoid fueling any flames. Turn the oven off or disconnect the power supply.
If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid
~
fueling any flames, do not open the oven door. Switch the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button, switch off at the mains and remove the plug from the outlet. Do not open the oven door until the smoke has dispersed.
To avoid corrosion damage from
~
condensation:

Microwave function
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to damage or tamper with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
Do not operate the convection
~
microwave oven empty! The oven will be damaged.
Be sure to use cookware suitable for
~
the function being used. See "Selecting cookware". The provided combi rack is specially designed for use in this oven.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not leave the appliance
~
unattended when heating food in disposable, e.g. plastic, paper or other flammable materials. See "Selecting cookware".
Do not use the oven to heat food in
~
heat retaining packaging, e.g. take-out food packaging. This packaging contains a thin layer of aluminum foil which reflects the microwaves. This reflected energy can cause the paper layer to ignite.
Before serving food allow a
~
sufficient standing time. Always check the temperature of the food itself after taking it out of the microwave oven. Do not judge by the plate temperature. The heat is created in the food, the dishes may stay cool to the touch.
Always check the temperature
~
before serving heated baby food.
Use a food thermometer to measure
~
the foods temperature. Do not use thermometers containing mercury or liquids, they are not suitable for high temperatures and break easily.
Never cook or reheat food and
~
liquids in sealed containers or bottles. Remove the nipple or lid before heating in the microwave oven. Built-up pressure may cause them to burst. Danger of injuries.
When heating liquids, the provided
~
boiling wand should be placed into the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces,
~
etc., in the oven without the boiling wand, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of bubbles. The liquid will not boil evenly. This "boiling delay" can cause a sudden build up of steam bubbles, when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning!
The built-up pressure may force the
~
oven door open. This could result in injury or damage. The boiling wand ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that steam bubbles form at an early stage.
Always check that food is sufficiently
~
heated. The time required varies depending on a number of factors, such as initial temperature, quantity, type and consistency of the food, and changes in the recipe. Germs present in the food are killed off only at a sufficiently high temperature (> 158° F) and after a sufficiently long time (> 10 Min.). Select a longer cook time if you are unsure if food is thoroughly heated. To ensure temperature is distributed evenly, stir and rotate food occasionally before serving.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Eggs must only be cooked in their
~
shells in the microwave oven in a device designed specifically for microwave egg boiling. Hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven. The eggs may burst, even once they have been removed from the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
~
shells in the microwave oven only if the yolk membrane has been punctured first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode. Danger of injuries.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
~
as tomatoes, sausages and potatoes should be pierced in several places before cooking to allow steam to vent and prevent the food from bursting.
Do not use dishware with hollow
~
handles or lid knobs. Moisture can get into the hollow parts. (The hollow parts of some dishware can be vented). Danger of built-up pressure and the explosion of the hollow parts may cause injuries.
Solo functions: Convection Bake, Auto Roast, Broil, Convection Broil
Caution! Danger of burns! When using solo functions the oven interior gets very hot.
Be sure to use cookware suitable for
~
the function being used. See "Selecting cookware".
Use pot holders when working with
~
a hot appliance. Especially the upper heating element gets extremely hot when using any broil function. Danger of burning!
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Important Safety instructions.

Selecting cookware
Microwaves:
are reflected by metal,
– pass through glass and chinaware,
Material and shape
The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Circular and oval containers work best. The food will heat more evenly than in a square container.
Containers and lids which
,
contain hollow handles or knobs are not suitable for use in the oven. The handles or knobs could collect moisture if not adequately vented. Without vent holes pressure can build up, causing the container to crack or shatter, danger of injury.
Metal
Do not use metal containers,
,
aluminum foil, cutlery or dishes with metal decor during the microwave-solo function. Metal reflects the microwaves which hinders the cooking process. Sparks may occur.
are absorbed by the food.
22
Do not use plastic cups with incompletely removed aluminum lids (such as cream cups). The remnants of the lids can lead to sparking.
Selecting cookware
Exceptions:
The enclosed combi rack is only suitable for combi functions not the microwave solo function. Do not set it on the oven floor.
Metal baking dishes are suitable for
baking with a combination microwave baking method. However they are not recommended, metal reflects the microwaves causing longer cooking times. In addition, the use of metal pans could cause sparking.
– Pre-cooked meals in aluminum foil
containers can be defrosted and reheated in the oven. Important: Remove the lid before heating the food. The food is heated only from above. To heat the food evenly place it in a container suitable for microwaving.
When using aluminum foil containers, crackling and sparking may occur, do not place them on the combi rack.
Metal meat skewers or clamps
should only be used if they are small in comparison to the size of the meat.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glassware are ideal for use in the oven.
Crystal contains lead and is unsuitable.
Porcelain (china)
Porcelain (china) is suitable for use in the oven.
Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging or items with hollow knobs or handles, insufficient ventilation may cause damage.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath the glaze.
Earthenware can get very hot and may crack.
For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminum foil may be used to mask wing-tips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the process.
Make sure that the aluminum foil is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls.
Glazes and colors
Some glazes and colors contain metallic substances. They are not suitable for the oven.
Wood
Wood containers are not suitable. The water from the wood evaporates during the cooking process causing it to dry out and crack.

Use plastic dishes only for Microwave - Solo. They must be heat resistant up to 230°F (110°C) otherwise the plastic may melt into the food.
Special plasticware, designed for use in microwave ovens is available in retail outlets.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting.
Disposable containers
Only those plastic disposable containers specified under "Plastics" are suitable for use in the oven.
Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials.
Disposable containers are not always microwave safe.
Roasting bags
These bags can be used in the oven. Please follow the manufacturers’ instructions.
,Do not use metal clips, plastic
clips with metal parts, or twist ties containing wire. They could ignite when heated.
24
Covering the food
Use a cover only during the Microwave-Solo function.
Do not use a cover if using a combination program which uses microwave power.
Plastics are only heat-resistant up to 230°F (110°C). Higher temperatures (Broiling, Convection Bake, etc.) can cause the cover to melt into the food.
The cover should not completely seal the container. This may prevent steam from escaping causing the cover to melt.
A cover:
– prevents most of the steam from
escaping, especially when cooking foods which needs longer to cook, such as potatoes.
shortens and evens out the cooking process.

Broiling Tips
38
Slices should be cut evenly so that the broiling time is the same for each slice.
The combi rack and glass tray can be inserted together or separately.
Before placing food onto the combi rack, baste it with oil to avoid sticking.
Turn the food at the half-way through cooking.
Microwave
Microwave cooking offers speed, convenience and nutritional benefits when food does not require browning or crisping.
The moisture content of food will affect the speed at which it is cooked.
Heat is produced directly in the food, therefore:
food can generally be cooked
without adding much liquid or cooking oil.
defrosting, reheating and cooking in
a convection microwave oven is quicker than using traditional oven methods.
– nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
– color, texture and taste of food are
not impaired.

Microwave tips
– Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as potatoes and sausage, should be pierced several times before cooking to allow steam to vent and prevent the food from bursting.
Only boil eggs in the shell in a device designed specifically for microwave egg boiling, otherwise the eggs may burst even once taken from the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their shells in the oven only if the yolk has been punctured. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
Do not cover the food when using combination functions.
Add a little water when cooking vegetables that are not fresh in the oven. Fresh vegetables cook quicker.

Remove the lid from glass containers
e.g. baby food jars.
Remove the lid or nipple from baby
bottles before heating.
To heat a liquid, insert the boiling
wand into the container.
Take care that the baby food is at a safe temperature when served. Heat baby food only for 30 seconds at a time then check temperature.
Do not reheat hard boiled eggs, even without the shell, in the oven. The eggs can burst.
Be careful when removing a dish from the oven, it may be hot.

Insert the roast probe into another part and repeat the cooking process if:
– the meat is not cooked to your
desire. Raise the core temperature.
– the roast probe tip did not reach the
center of the meat (large cuts of meat).
Roast probe tips
The time it takes to cook meat when
using the roast probe is similar to that of cooking by time.
When using broiling bags, insert the
roast probe through the foil into the meat core.
Fat and bones may impair the
temperature measuring and can cause the oven to turn off prematurely. Therefore the tip should not touch bones or be inserted into fatty areas of the meat.
– Select a higher core temperature for
meat with a high fat content.
– Meat can be roasted in a container
or on the rack with the glass tray.

Cleaning and Care
Let the oven cool before
,
cleaning the interior, the inside door and the gasket. Danger of burns!
Interior
The revolutionary PerfectClean enamel is a smooth, nonstick surface that cleans easily with a sponge.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components of the oven, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
Clean the oven after every use, accumulated soiling makes cleaning difficult and could damage the appliance.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or steel wool on any part of the oven. They will damage the surfaces.
Do not use caustic (oven) cleaners when the oven is hot, even if the cleaner instructions state otherwise. Caustic cleaners sprayed on hot metal surfaces will discolor the oven. Only use caustic oven cleaners on a cool surface. Do not spray oven cleaners into any openings
Do not use the Microwave function if the door or gasket is damaged. Call Technical Service.
Clean spills on PerfectClean surfaces as soon as possible to prevent stains.
Clean the interior, the inside of the
^
door and gasket with a sponge and a solution of warm water and non­abrasive liquid detergent. Avoid using too much water, this could penetrate the openings.
Dry with a soft cloth.
^
^ Check the door and gasket at regular
intervals for any sign of damage.
Cleaning tips
Juices and cake mixtures
Soiling such as spilled juices and cake mixtures are best removed while the oven or tray is still warm. Spilled fruit juices may cause lasting discoloration of the surfaces but will not affect the performance of the oven.
Hard-to-clean spills
Place a heat-resistant cup of water in the oven and bring it to a boil. The steam will condensate on the interior walls making it easier to clean.
Neutralizing odors
Place a heat-resistant cup of water and lemon juice in the oven and simmer for a few minutes.
54
Cleaning and Care
To avoid permanent damage to PerfectClean treated surfaces, avoid:
scouring cleansers such as scouring
powder, scouring liquid, and pumice stones
ceramic stove-top cleaners
steel wool
scouring pads, such as pot
scrubbers, or used sponges that still contain abrasive cleanser residue
oven spray on PerfectClean surfaces
at high temperatures or long application times
Interior ceiling
To clean the interior ceiling, the upper heating element can be lowered.
Wait for the upper heating element to cool before lowering it. Danger of burns.
^ Unscrew the nut.
^
Lower the upper heating element.
Do not use force! It may cause damage.
^
After cleaning move the upper heating element back to its original position. Tighten the nut.

Inspect the door and the door
,
seal for damage. In the event of any damage, do not use the microwave function of the appliance until it has been repaired by a customer service technician.
Glass surfaces are vulnerable to scratching. Scratches can lead to shattering of the glass surface.
When cleaning all glass surfaces, avoid
scouring cleansers, e.g., scouring powder, scouring liquid, pumice stones,
scouring sponges or brushes, e.g. pot scrubbers,
sharp metal scrapers.
Front of appliance
It is best to clean spills from the front of the appliance immediately. Spills that remain longer may cause the surface to become discolored or changed.
Clean the front of the appliance with a clean sponge or cloth, dish liquid and warm water, or a clean, damp micro fiber cloth. Then dry with a soft cloth.
All surfaces are vulnerable to scratching. Scratches can use the glass surface to shatter. All surfaces can become discolored or changed if they come into contact with unsuitable cleaning agents.

Check if the selected power has the appropriate time setting when cooking with the oven. The lower the power, the longer the cooking time.
59
Frequently asked questions
Why is there uneven browning?
Possible fault Solution
Oven temperature too high. Use a lower cooking temperature.
Shiny or thin pans were used. See "Selecting cookware".
Why does the food cool so fast when heated or cooked with Microwave?
In the microwave oven, food begins to cook from the outside first, the inside of the food relies on the transfer of heat. If food is cooked at a high power level it is possible that the heat may not have reached the center of the food. At the temperature equalization time the food will become hot in the inside and warm on the outside. When heating a meal, select a lower power level and a longer cooking time.
Why are there strange noises when the microwave oven is being used?
Possible fault Solution
Sparks are created by the use of dishware with a metallic finish.
The food is covered with aluminum foil. Remove the aluminum foil.
