► Do not jam anything between the front of the appliance and
the door, and make sure that there is no food or cleaning
agent residue left on the seals.
DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK!
► Never submerse the appliance, the power cable or the plug
in water or other liquids.
► Keep the power cable well away from sources of heat.
Do not route it in front of the microwave oven door. The heat
could damage the cable.

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!
► Never touch the microwave oven door, housing, ventilation
openings, accessories or the crockery 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 easily accessible at all times, so that it
can be removed quickly 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 using it.
► Do not allow the power cable to hang down from a table or
work surface. Children could pull on it.
► After heating, always open containers, popcorn bags, etc.
so that the opening faces away from your body. Escaping
steam could cause scalds.
► Never stand directly in front of the microwave oven when
opening the door. Escaping steam could cause scalds.
► Do not fry foods in the microwave. Hot oil can damage

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!
► Always check the temperature of the food before eating, to
avoid a potentially life-threatening burning injury, for instance,
to babies. Cooking utensils can become hot from the heat
emitted by the food, therefore you may require oven gloves
to touch them. Cooking utensils must also be checked to
ensure they are microwaveable.
Caution! Hot surface!
WARNING – RISK OF FIRE!
► Never leave the microwave oven unattended if you are
heating foodstuffs packed in plastics or paper.
► Do not place flammable materials close to the microwave
oven or the ventilation openings.
► Remove all metallic closures from the packaging of the food-
stuff that you intend to warm up. Risk of fire!
► When making popcorn, use only microwaveable popcorn
bags.
► Do not use the microwave oven to warm up cushions filled
with kernels, cherry stones or gels. Risk of fire!
► Do not use the microwave oven for storing foodstuffs or
other objects.
► Do not exceed the cooking times given by the manufacturer.
► Do not place the microwave oven next to other appliances
discharging heat, for example, an oven.
► Clean the microwave oven thoroughly after warming up
greasy foods, especially if they were not covered. Allow the
appliance to cool down completely before cleaning it. Residues such as fat or grease cannot be allowed to collect on
the heating elements of the grill. They could possibly ignite.

CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► The microwave oven may not be set up in areas with high
humidity or where moisture could collect.
► Do not heat liquids and other foods 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 affect its
useful lifespan and could possibly lead to dangerous situations.
► Use only microwave-suitable cookware.
► Do not attempt to clean this appliance with a steam cleaner.
NOTES ON SAFE USE
► 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 bubbling-up:
– If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as long as it
is being heated.
– To avoid unexpected bubbling-up, leave the liquid to stand
in the microwave oven for about 20 seconds after heating.

NOTES ON SAFE USE
► Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages and similar food
items. Otherwise, they could explode.
► Be careful when heating liquids. Use only open containers,
so that any air bubbles produced can escape.
► If the appliance starts to give off smoke, switch it off immedi-
ately or remove the plug from the mains, and keep the door
closed to smother any flames that might otherwise escape.
► Eggs in their shells and hard-boiled eggs should not be
heated in the microwave oven as they could explode, even
after completion of the heating process.
Food with thick skins, such as potatoes, whole pumpkins,
apples and chestnuts must be pricked before cooking.
► Do not move the microwave oven when it is in use.
EARTHING INFORMATION /
CORRECT INSTALLATION
► This appliance must be earthed. This appliance is to be
connected only to a correctly earthed power socket. An
individual circuit solely for the connection of the microwave
is recommended.
DANGER! Improper use of the earthing connector
could increase the risk of an electric shock.
NOTE: If you have any questions about earthing or the
electrical aspects of these instructions, please consult an
electrician or a maintenance technician.
► Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept liability
for damage to the microwave oven or injury to persons resulting from failure to comply with the instructions for electrical
connection.

INTERFERENCE WITH OTHER APPLIANCES
► The operation of the microwave may cause interference on
your radio, television or similar appliances.
If such interference occurs, it can be reduced or corrected
by the following remedial measures:
– Clean the door and the seals of the microwave.
– Realign the aerial of your radio or television.
– Set up the microwave in a different place to the
receiver.
– Move the microwave away from the receiver.
– Plug the microwave into another wall socket. The
microwave and the receiver should be connected to
different circuits.
Before you begin
Basic principles of microwave cookery
■ Arrange the food in a sensible manner.
■ Place the thickest parts near the edges.
■ Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the shortest possible stated cooking
time and increase as required. Food that is cooked too long can begin to
smoke or catch fire.
■ Cover the food during cooking with a lid suitable for microwave cookery.
The lid prevents splashing and helps in the even cooking of the food.
■ While cooking, turn the food in the microwave once so that items such as
chicken or hamburgers are cooked more quickly.
■ Large pieces of food, such as joints of meat, must be turned at least once.
■ Completely rearrange foods, such as meatballs, after half the cooking time.
Turn them and move the meatballs from the middle of the plate to the edge.
■ 14 │ GB
│IE│
NI
SMW 900 EDS C6
Use suitable cookware
■ The ideal material for a microwave oven is microwave-permeable, allowing
the energy to penetrate the container to heat the food. Microwaves cannot
permeate metal. For this reason, metal containers and cookware should not
be used.
■ When using the microwave for heating, do not use products made of recycled
paper. These can contain minute fragments of metal, which can generate
sparks and/or fires.
■ We recommend the use of round/oval cookware instead of square or oblong
containers, as food in corner areas tends to overcook. The following list
provides general hints to assist you in selecting the correct cookware.

WARNING – RISK OF FIRE!
► Never use the grill stand t or other metallic objects when you are using
the appliance in the microwave mode or in combination cooking mode
(the exception here is the turntable 4). Metals reflect the microwave
radiation and this leads to the generation of sparks. This can cause a fire
and irreparably damage the appliance!

■ Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible, so that it can be easily
reached and unplugged in case of danger.
■ Do not remove the feet underneath the microwave oven.
■ Do not block the ventilation slits 2. If you do, it could cause damage to the
appliance.
■ Install the appliance as far away as possible from radios and televisions.
The operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to radio and
television reception.
