space. Do not store food, temperature­sensitive materials or inflammable ma­terials in the cooking space, e.g. clean­ing agents, oven sprays, etc.

▪ Only use original spare parts.

Caution: Risk of injury!

▪ Be careful not to put fingers in the door

hinges, as there is a risk of injury if the
appliance door is moved. Particular
care should be taken when children are
around.

▪ An open appliance door poses a trip-

ping or crushing hazard. Do not sit or
rest on the appliance door or use it as
a storage surface.

Caution: Risk of burns!

▪ Accessible parts of the appliance can

get hot during operation. Keep children
away from the appliance.

▪ The appliance and the appliance door

(particularly glass doors) get very hot
during operation.

▪ Steam may escape from the cooking

space when the appliance door is
opened. If there is steam in the cooking
space, do not put your hands inside.

▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch

fire. Heating oil in the cooking space to
sear meat is dangerous and should not
be done. Never attempt to extinguish
burning oil or fat with water. Danger of
explosion! Smother the flames with a
fire blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.

▪ Danger of explosion! Do not pour spirits

(brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over
hot food.

▪ Do not heat up alcoholic beverages!
▪ Accessories get hot in the cooking

space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.

▪ If you notice smoke possibly coming

from the appliance itself or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance
door closed. Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.

▪ The appliance will remain hot for some

time after it is switched off and will only
cool down slowly to room temperature.
Allow sufficient time for the appliance to
cool down before, for instance, cleaning
it.

▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended

when drying herbs, bread, mushrooms,
etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much,
it can pose a fire hazard.

How to avoid damaging the appliance

1.6 Microwave

▪ Microwave energy is safe when used

properly. When the appliance door is
opened, microwave operation is auto­matically interrupted. In the event of a
malfunction or damage to the appli­ance, especially to the appliance door,
do not use microwave operation. The
appliance must be repaired by qualified
personnel.

▪ Ensure that nothing is trapped between

the appliance door and the frame.

▪ Do not switch the microwave on until

you have put the food in the cooking
space.

Heating foods and liquids

▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended

when heating up or cooking food in
containers that are made of plastic, pa­per or other flammable materials. The
containers can melt or ignite.

▪ Ignition hazard and danger of explo-

sion! Do not heat beverages or food
that contain alcohol.

▪ Scalding hazard! When heating liquids,

place a teaspoon in the vessel to pre­vent delayed boiling (or superboiling).
With delayed boiling, boiling point is
reached without the typical steam
bubbles forming. Disturbing an open
vessel, even slightly, can cause the li­quid to erupt.

▪ Do not use vessels with a narrow spout.
▪ Stir liquids halfway through heating and

when the time is up allow the vessel to
stand in the cooking space for a short
time. Stir the contents once more and
then take the vessel out of the cooking
space.

▪ Scalding hazard! Infant food in jars and

bottles must be heated without the lid,
top or teat. Infant food must be stirred
or shaken well after being heated up. It
is imperative to check the temperature
of the food before giving it to the infant!

▪ Do not heat food in tightly sealed con-

tainers (tins, bottles, sealed foil, paper
or metal disposable packaging). Re­move plastic packaging before cooking
or defrosting foods. Sealed containers
are liable to explode. Always open the
containers.

▪ The cooking time depends on the

quantity, nature and initial temperature
of the food, as well the cookware being
used. Always start with the shorter
cooking time given to avoid overcook­ing the food. Otherwise, smaller quantit­ies or food with a low moisture content
can dry out and possibly ignite. If the
food has not reached the right stage of
cooking when the time is up, extend the
cooking time.

▪ Prick food with a skin or peel such as

potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, shell
food, etc. with a fork. Otherwise, the
steam that is produced will be unable to
escape and may cause the food to ex­plode.

▪ Do not cook eggs in the shell. Do not

heat up boiled eggs. Eggs can explode
in the microwave. Crack the eggs open
and then whisk them. Pierce the yolks
of fried eggs.

1.7 Children in the home

▪ Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging

material away from children. Packaging
material, e.g. plastic film and poly­styrene, can be dangerous for children.

▪ The appliance is designed for use by

adults who are familiar with these oper­ating instructions. Children are often un­able to recognize the danger of elec­trical appliances. Ensure proper super­vision and do not allow children to play
with the appliance – there is a danger
that children could hurt themselves.

1.8 Accessories

Risk of burns! The accessories get
very hot during use. Use protective
gloves or oven cloths.

Turntable roller and glass turntable

▪ Use the appliance at all times and ex-

clusively with the turntable roller and the
glass turntable supplied.

▪ Never place any other vessel than the

glass turntable directly on the turntable
roller.

▪ Allow the glass turntable to cool down

first before cleaning it or rinsing it with
water.

▪ Do not cook food directly on the glass

turntable.

▪ Do not place hot food or containers on

the glass turntable when it is cold.

▪ Do not place frozen food or containers

on the glass turntable when it is hot.

Cookware

▪ Ensure the cookware does not touch

the sides of the cooking space as it ro­tates.

▪ Use only heat-resistant, microwave-safe

cookware, such as glass, ceramic, por­celain, or heat-resistant plastics. Mi­crowaves can penetrate these materi­als. Microwaves cannot or can only par­tially penetrate metal cookware; food in
this instance will remain cold. If you use
metal cookware, arcing may occur
which could damage the appliance.

▪ Only use cookware with a metal decor,

e.g. a gold rim, or food in aluminium
containers if the manufacturer guaran­tees their microwave compatibility. This
also applies to products made from re­cycled paper.

▪ Do not use a meat thermometer. The

features of meat thermometers can
cause arcing in the microwave mode,
which will damage your appliance.

▪ Porcelain, ceramic and earthenware

cookware may have cavities. These can
fill with water, causing the dishware to
crack. Follow the manufacturers' in­structions.

the seals are damaged.

6.3 Cleaning the cooking space

Always replace the turntable roller and glass turntable after cleaning.
Do not use oven cleaner or any other abrasive cleaning agents. Do not use scour­ing pads, wire wool, etc., as such products will damage the surface.

▸ Take all accessories out of the cooking space before cleaning.
▸ Clean the cooking space regularly, especially when food has been spilt. Immediately

clean away grease splashes or food residue.
▸ Remove any soiling from the cooking space while still warm to the touch using a soft

cloth dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
▸ For stubborn dirt deposits heat up a glass of water at maximum microwave power

level for 2–3minutes. The steam that is produced will soften the soiling.
▸ To eliminate unpleasant odours, heat up a glass of water with lemon juice for 2–

3minutes at maximum microwave power level.

7 Trouble-shooting

… a scratching noise can be heard when the appliance is switched on

Possible cause Solution

▪ Cooking space floor and

turntable roller are soiled.

▸ Clean the floor of the cooking space and the

turntable roller regularly.

... the appliance is causing interference with television or radio reception

Possible cause Solution

▪ There is nothing wrong with

the appliance. When in use, it
can cause interference to tele­vision or radio reception. This
is a similar kind of interference
to that caused by small elec­trical appliances (mixers, va­cuum cleaners, etc.).

… hot air flows out of the appliance during microwave operation

heat emitted by the food
warms the air in the cooking
space. This is then discharged
to the outside. The heated air
contains no microwaves.

... the appliance switches off prematurely

Possible cause Solution

▪ Appliance is overheated. ▸ Check the ventilation slots. They must be freely ac-

cessible.

▪ Ventilation slots are obstruc-

ted.

slots.

▸ Wait for the appliance to cool down.
▸ Restart the appliance.

▸ If the appliance still switches off before time, call
