Risk of fire!

■

Using the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose is dangerous and may cause damage. The following is not permitted: drying out food or clothing, heating slippers, grain or cereal pillows, sponges, damp cleaning cloths or similar. For example, heated slippers and grain or cereal pillows may catch fire, even several hours after they have been heated.The appliance must only be used for the preparation of food and drinks.

Risk of fire!

■

Food may catch fire. Never heat food in heat-retaining packages. Do not leave food heating unattended in containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials. Do not select a microwave power or time setting that is higher than necessary. Follow the information provided in this instruction manual. Never use the microwave to dry food. Never defrost or heat food with a low water content, e.g. bread, at too high a microwave power or for too long.

Risk of fire!

■

Cooking oil may catch fire. Never use the microwave to heat cooking oil on its own.

Risk of explosion!

Liquids and other food may explode when in containers that have been tightly sealed. Never heat liquids or other food in containers that have been tightly sealed.

Risk of serious damage to health!

■

The surface of the appliance may become damaged if it is not cleaned properly. Microwave energy may escape. Clean the appliance on a regular basis, and remove any food residue immediately. Always keep the cooking compartment, door seal, door and door stop clean; see also section Care and cleaning.

Risk of serious damage to health!

■

■

Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during, or even after, heating. Never cook eggs in their shells or reheat

Page 4

hard-boiled eggs. Never cook shellfish or crustaceans. Always prick the yolk when baking or poaching eggs. The skin of foods that have a peel or skin, such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin.

Risk of burns!

■

Heat is not distributed evenly through baby food. Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always remove the lid or teat. Stir or shake well after the food has been heated. Check the temperature of the food before it is given to the child.

Risk of burns!

■

Risk of scalding!

■

When you open the appliance door, hot steam may escape. Open the appliance

door with care. Keep children at a safe distance.

Risk of scalding!

■

Water in a hot cooking compartment may create hot steam. Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment.

Risk of scalding!

■

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Risk of injury!

■

Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.

Risk of injury!

■

Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic ovenware can have small perforations in the handles or lids. These perforations conceal a cavity below. Any moisture that penetrates this cavity could cause the ovenware to crack. Only use microwave-safe ovenware.

Causes of damage

Caution!

■ Creation of sparks: Metal  e.g. a spoon in a glass  must be

kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

■ Water in the cooking compartment when the cooking

compartment is hot: Never pour water into the cooking compartment when the cooking compartment is hot. Steam will be created. The temperature change can cause damage to the ceramic floor panel.

■ Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance.

They damage the appliance by producing sparks.

■ Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking

compartment for long periods. This will damage the enamel. Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to

corrosion.

■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the

cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over time.

Energy and environment tips

■ Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door

will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean.

■ Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects

on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance door.

■ Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the

appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

■ Operating the microwave without food: Operating the

appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").

■ Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too

high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy

Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.

Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during cooking, baking or roasting.

Page 5

It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for the second cake.

For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Your new appliance

Notes regarding ovenware

Suitable ovenware

Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic. These materials allow microwaves to pass through.

You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use

Page 7

ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.

Unsuitable ovenware

Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.

Caution!

Creation of sparks: metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of the door.

Ovenware test

Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to

1 minute.

2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time.

The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.

The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.

Care and cleaning

With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you should care for and clean your appliance correctly.

: Risk of short circuit!

Never use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean the oven.

: Risk of burns!

Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let the appliance cool down.

Notes

■ Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are

caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.

■ Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are

caused by reflections made by the oven light.

■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can

cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does not affect their function. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

■ Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be

removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave power.

Cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Do not use:

■ any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents,

■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance

door,

■ metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,

■ hard scouring pads and sponges,

■ cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.

Rinse out new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

For easier cleaning, you can switch on the oven light. Open the appliance door to do so.

Clean using a dish cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. Do not use glass cleaners or metal or glass scrapers for cleaning.

Clean using a dish cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. Remove traces of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Corrosion can form under such residues. Special stainless steel cleaning agents can be obtained from the after-sales service or from specialist retailers.

Hot soapy water or a vinegar solution: Clean using a dish cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. If the oven is very dirty: use oven cleaner, but only when cooking compartment is cold. It is best to use a stainless-steel sponge. Do not use oven spray or other aggressive oven cleaners or abrasive materials. Scouring pads, rough sponges and pan cleaners are also unsuitable. These agents scratch the surface. Allow the interior surfaces to dry thoroughly.

Defrosting and cooking with the automatic programmes

Notes

■ Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is not

possible to enter the exact weight, you should round it up or down.

■ Always use microwaveable ovenware, e.g. made of glass,

ceramic or the universal pan. Observe the accessories tips in the programme table.

■ Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.

■ A table of suitable types of food with appropriate weight

ranges and the accessories required can be found in the section after the tips.

■ It is not possible to set a weight outside the weight range.

■ With many dishes, a signal sounds after a certain time. Turn

or stir the food.

Defrosting

Notes

■ If possible, freeze and store food flat and in portions at -

18 °C.

Page 14

■ Put the frozen food on shallow tableware, e.g. a glass or

porcelain plate.

■ Cover thin and protruding parts with small pieces of

aluminium foil. This prevents these parts from cooking prematurely. Ensure that the aluminium foil does not touch the walls of the cooking compartment.

■ After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further 10 to

90 minutes so that it acquires an even temperature.

■ Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry or fish.

Drain off this liquid when you turn the food. Under no circumstances should it be used for other purposes or be allowed to come into contact with other foods.

■ Bread should only be defrosted in the required amounts, as it

quickly becomes stale.

■ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already

defrosted.

■ Whole poultry should be placed in the dish breast-side down

and poultry portions skin-side down. Cover legs and wings with small pieces of aluminium foil.

Boiled potatoes

Note: Cut into equal sized pieces. Add a little salt and a

tablespoon of water for every 100 g of potatoes.

Vegetables

Notes

■ Fresh vegetables: cut into pieces of equal size. Add one

tablespoon of water for every 100 g vegetables.

■ Frozen vegetables: this programme is only suitable for

blanched, not pre-cooked vegetables. It is not suitable for frozen vegetables in cream sauce. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water. Do not add water to spinach or red cabbage.

Rice

Notes

■ Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice.

■ Add two to two and a half times the amount of water to the

rice.

Fish

Note: Fish fillet, fresh: add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water or

lemon juice.

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best for your dish and there are tips about cookware and preparation.

Notes

■ The values in the table always apply to food placed into the

cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only

preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do so. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from the cooking compartment that you will not be using.

■ The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They

depend on the quality and consistency of the food.

Page 15

■ Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be

obtained from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.

■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking

accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.

Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the microwave

The following tables provide you with numerous options and settings for the microwave.

The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature and consistency of the food.

Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.

It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:

Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time, Half the amount - half the cooking time.

Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time. Check the temperature.

Defrosting

Notes

■ Place the frozen food in an open container on the wire rack.

■ Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty

outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.

■ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.

Large pieces of food should be turned several times. When turning, remove any liquid that has resulted from defrosting.

■ Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a

further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food

Notes

■ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up

more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up .

■ Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is

piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of one another.

■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for

your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.

■ Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.

■ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to

5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing

plates from the oven.

■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will

require less seasoning.

Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.

Heating food

: Risk of scalding!

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Caution!

Metal  e.g. a spoon in a glass  must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

Notes

■ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up

more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up .

■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for

Check the temperature.

Notes

■ Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is

piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of one another.

■ Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a

suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.

■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will

require less seasoning.

■ After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to

Microwave tips

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of food you have prepared.

The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave

When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked.

When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the edge but not done in the middle.

After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.

Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of thumb:

Double the amount = almost double the cooking time

Half the amount = half the cooking time

power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.

Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer times.

Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.

Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
