Removal of the appliance housing could cause
the release of microwave energy. Arrange for
the repair to be carried out only by qualified
specialists.

• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical, physio­logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in
experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

• Children may only be allowed to use the ap­pliance without supervision if appropriate in­structions have been given that have provided
the child with the knowledge to use the cooker
in a safe manner and to understand the risks
of improper use.

• Under no circumstances should you remove the
microwave oven housing.

• Should the lamp in the interior of the microwave
oven need replacing, arrange for this to be done
by a qualified specialist.

• Never touch the microwave oven door, housing,
ventilation openings, accessories or the dinnerware
directly after the grill, combi or automatic menu
process. The parts will be very hot. Allow them
to cool down before cleaning them.

• Ensure that the plug is at all times easily accessible,
so that it can be quickly removed in the event of
an emergency.

• People fitted with a heart pacemaker should consult
their doctor about the possible risks of using a micro­wave oven before taking one into use.

• Do not allow the power cable to hang from a table
or work surface. Children could pull on it.

• After they have been warmed up, always open
containers, popcorn-bags etc. with the opening
pointing away from your body. Escaping steam
could lead to scalds.

• Never stand directly against the microwave oven
when opening the door. Escaping steam could
lead to scalds.

• Do not fry in the microwave. Hot oil can damage
parts of the appliance and utensils and even
cause skin burns.

• Always shake-up or stir warmed up baby glasses
or bottles! The contents could have heated up
unevenly and the baby could be burned/scalded
by them. At all events, check their temperature
before feeding them to the baby!

• Do not modify the microwave oven.

• Microwave radiation is dangerous! Maintenan­ce and repairs requiring the removal of access
covers, which are intended for protection
against contact with microwave radiation, are to
be carried out by trained specialists only.

• Before consumption, check the temperature, so
as to avoid a potentially life-threatening scalding
for babies.
Cooking utensils may become hot from the heat
emitted by the food, so that you may require oven
gloves to touch them. In this case, a check should
also be made to ensure that the cooking utensils
are suitable for use with the microwave oven.

Attention! Hot surfaces!

with high humidity or where moisture could collect.

• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in air­tight containers, as these may explode and
damage the appliance.

• Do not lean on the microwave oven door.

• Insufficient cleanliness of the appliance could lead

to the destruction of the upper surfaces, which
themselves influence its useful lifespan and could
possibly also lead to dangerous situations.

Danger

• Never submerse the appliance, the power cable
or the plug in water or other fluids.

• Keep the power cable away from hot surfaces.
Do not lead it in front of the microwave oven door.
The heat could damage the cable.

• Never pour fluids into the ventilation openings
or the safety locks. Should fluids ever enter them,
immediately switch the microwave oven off and
remove the plug from the mains power socket.
Arrange for the appliance to be checked by
qualified specialists.

Safety tips

• To minimize the risk of fire in the microwave:
When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
always keep an eye on the microwave when it
is in operation, as these materials can catch fire.

• When heating drinks in the microwave, bubbling
may be delayed when the drink boils. Therefore,
be careful when handling the container.
To avoid sudden simmering:

- If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as

long as it is being heated.

- To avoid an unexpected reboiling, leave the

fluid to stand in the microwave oven for
ca. 20 seconds after being warmed up.

• Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages or similar.
Otherwise, they could explode.

• Proceed with caution when warming up fluids.
Use only open containers, so that any air bubbles
produced can escape.

• Should you notice smoke, switch the appliance
off or remove the plug from the socket and
keep the door closed to suffocate any possible
flames.
