■

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!

■ 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.

Installation and connection

This appliance is intended for domestic use only. This appliance is only intended to be fully fitted in a kitchen. Please observe the special installation instructions. The appliance can be fitted in a 60 cm wide wall cabinet (min.

30 cm deep and 85 cm off the floor). The appliance is fitted with a plug and must only be connected

to a properly-installed earthed socket. The fuse protection must be rated at 10 amperes (L or B circuit breakers). The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage specified on the rating plate.

The socket must be installed and the power cable replaced by a qualified electrician only. If the plug is no longer accessible following installation, an all-pin disconnecting device must be present on the installation side, with a contact gap of at least 3 mm.

The microwave

Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. You will find information about ovenware and how to set the microwave.

Note: In the Tested for you in our cooking studio section, you will find examples for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave oven.

Try out the microwave straight away. You could heat up a cup of water for your tea, for example.

Use a large cup without any decorative gold or silver trim and place a teaspoon in it. Place the cup containing the water on the turntable.

1. Set the power selector to 900 W.

2. Use the time switch to set 2 minutes.

A signal sounds after 2 minutes. The water for the tea is hot. As you are drinking your tea, please take time to read again the

safety information that can be found at the front of the instruction manual. This is very important.

Note: Do not use the appliance if the turntable is not in place. Ensure that it is properly slotted into place. The turntable can turn clockwise or anti-clockwise.

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 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.

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.
