Positioning the unit

● Always place the microwave oven on a stable and level, heat-resistant surface and ensure

that it is protected from any heat source or excessive humidity.

● Do not use the appliance outdoors.

● Sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all

times. Do not place any objects on the unit,
and make sure that the following minimum
distances from any wall or other object are
maintained:
One side: 7.5 cm; other side unobstructed
Rear: 7.5 cm
Top: 30.0 cm
The feet on the base of the unit must not be
removed.
The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when positioning the unit, also ensure
that it is not placed directly underneath a cupboard or any other similar object.

Connection to the mains supply

The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with
the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on
the rating label. This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives.

Before using for the first time

● Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable

for recycling.

● After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check

the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage. Also ensure that the door
(including the viewing window, door seals and door locks) is not damaged or bent and
closes firmly against the door support. This is important to ensure that no microwave
energy is emitted during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the
inside of the oven must be carefully checked.

Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances

until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.

● Do not remove the protective film covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable

drive unit or the grey-brown protective cover (4) next to the light on the right of the
interior.

● Insert the roller ring and the glass turntable into the unit.

Note: Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed
inside the oven. Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.

Important notes

● When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-

point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme
caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven.
The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the
container during the heating process.

● Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave

oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.

● Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in

closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.

● The content of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly

stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful
and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.

● When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as

plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food
will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil are also
inflammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during
operation. Highly inflammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of course not
be heated up.

● Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or

smother any flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall
socket.

● To prevent danger of burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing

food from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up with the food.

● Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for

use with microwave ovens.

Important safety instructions

unattended when in use.
