2.1 General
ATTENTION!
Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking
compartment and cause permanent damage to the appliance. The appliance door may spring open due to
an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may
shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative
pressure, the cooking compartment may become considerably deformed inwards.
▶ Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g.
for marinating or pouring over food).
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
▶ Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.
▶ Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
▶ Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶ Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶ Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.

will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may
cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.
▶ Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.
Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.
▶ Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in
immediate succession at a microwave power level that
is too high, the cooking compartment may be damaged.
▶ Leave the appliance to cool down for several
minutes between each use.
▶ Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶ Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶ Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.

Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and
cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as
on the temperature, composition and quantity of the
food. This is why temperature ranges are given in the
tables. Begin with the lower temperature and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. If you use different quantities than those specified in the table, adhere to the rule of thumb: Double the amount = almost
double the time, half the amount = half the time.
Defrosting with the microwave
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Freeze the food flat.
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2 to 3times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
¡ Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
¡ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.
¡ Separate any defrosted parts when turning.
¡ To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30minutes in the appli-
ance after switching it off.

Heating up or cooking frozen food with the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat food.
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or a microwave cover to cover the dish. Take
ready meals out of the packaging.
¡ Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ Turn or stir the food several times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2 to 5ºminutes.
¡ The food will retain most of its natural flavor. Use salt and seasonings sparingly.

WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently
shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil
over and splatter.
▶ Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can
also use a plate or a microwave cover to cover the
dish. Take ready meals out of the packaging.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking
compartment.
¡ Turn or stir the food several times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2 to
5ºminutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ To achieve best results, we recommend that you re-
heat food or ready meals at 600 watts. If the packaging specifies a higher microwave output setting,
extend the time.
