■

■

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.

Never use metal containers when using the appliance in microwave mode only.Use only microwave-safe cookware or, alternatively, the microwave in combination with a type of heating.

Causes of damage

Caution!

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Liquid that has boiled over must not be allowed to run

through the turntable drive into the interior of the appliance. Monitor the cooking process. Choose a shorter cooking time initially, and increase the cooking time as required.

■ Never use the microwave oven without the turntable.

■ 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.

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

They damage the appliance by producing sparks.

■ 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.

■ Condensation in the cooking compartment: Condensation

may appear on the door window, interior walls and floor. This is normal and does not adversely affect microwave operation. To prevent corrosion, wipe off the condensation every time you cook.

Notes

■ Place the frozen food in an open container on the turntable.

■ 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 oven walls. You can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.

■ Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry.

Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.

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

Large pieces of food should be turned several times.

■ Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a

further 10 to 20 minutes so that the temperature is even throughout. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point. The meat can still be further prepared, even if it has a small frozen core.
