12
1 Safety precautions
Caution: Danger of injury!
• Be careful that fingers do not get caught in the door hinges. Otherwise, if
the appliance door is moved, there is a risk of injury. Particular care should
be taken when children are around.
• An open appliance door poses danger of tripping or injury! Do not sit or
rest on the appliance door or use it as a storage surface.
Caution: Burns hazard!
• Accessible parts of the appliance can get hot when in use. Keep children
away!
• The appliance, the appliance door and especially the glass get very hot
when in use.
• Steam may escape from the cooking space when the appliance door is
opened. Do not put your hands into the cooking space if there is steam in
it!
• 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 try to
extinguish burning oil or fat with water (danger of explosion)! Extinguish the
flames using a fire blanket and keep all doors and windows closed.
• Do not pour spirits (e.g. brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food –
danger of explosion!
• Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Always wear protective gloves
or use oven cloths.
• If you notice smoke possibly coming from a fire in the appliance or inside

13
1 Safety precautions
How to avoid damaging the appliance
• The construction of the appliance may not be changed in any way. Do not
apply force to or interfere with the appliance door or the control and safety
devices. The illumination may only be replaced by our Customer Services.
• Always keep the appliance clean. Clean the appliance door with mild
detergent.
• Take care not to damage the appliance door, the door frame and the door
hinges.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning aids such as steel wool,
knives, glass scrapers, razor blades, etc. to clean the door glass.
Scratches on the door glass could cause a breakage.
• Close the appliance door carefully.
• When cleaning the appliance make sure no water can get into the inside
of the appliance. Use only a moderately damp cloth. Do not spray the
inside or outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner.
If water gets inside the appliance, it can cause damage.
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.

space.
14
1 Safety precautions
Heating foods and liquids
• Do not leave your appliance unattended when heating or cooking food in
containers that are made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials.
The containers can melt or ignite.
• Do not heat beverages or food that contain alcohol. Ignition hazard and
danger of explosion!
• 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 shoot out – risk of scalding!
• 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.
• Infant food in jars or bottles must be heated without the lid, top or teat.
Infant food must be stirred or shaken well after being heated. It is imperative to check the temperature of the food before giving it to the infant –
risk of scalding!
• Do not heat food in tightly sealed containers (tins, bottles, sealed foil, paper
or metal disposable packaging). Remove plastic packaging before
cooking or defrosting foods. Sealed containers can explode. Always open
the containers.
15
1 Safety precautions
• The cooking time depends on the quantity, nature and initial temperature
of the food, as well the dishes 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, then 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.
16
1 Safety precautions
1.7 Note on accessories
The accessories get very hot during use – burns hazard! Always
wear protective gloves or use oven cloths.
Turntable roller and glass turntable
• You should use the appliance at all times and exclusively with the turntable
roller and the glass turntable supplied.
• You should never place a vessel or container other than the glass turntable
directly on the turntable roller.
• You should allow the glass turntable to cool down first before cleaning it or
rinsing it with water.
• You should not cook food directly on the glass turntable.
• You should not place hot food or containers on the glass turntable when it
is cold.
• You should not place frozen food or containers on the glass turntable when
it is hot.
CombiCrunch plate
• You should use the CombiCrunch plate in the CombiCrunch and hot air
modes only.
• You should never use the CombiCrunch plate together with the wire rack
in the CombiCrunch mode.
• You should never use the CombiCrunch plate as a stand for other
cookware or containers.
High or low wire rack
• You should always place the wire rack in the centre of the glass turntable.
• When using the combi mode, do not put metal cookware on the wire rack.
Otherwise, arcing can occur which will damage your appliance.

CombiCrunch operating modes. Otherwise, arcing can occur which will
damage your appliance.
17
1 Safety precautions
Food cover
• Use the food cover with the Power&Favorit and microwave modes only.
The food cover could otherwise melt.
Baking tray
• You should only use the baking tray in the hot air mode. Otherwise, arcing
can occur which will damage the appliance.
Cookware
• You should ensure that the cookware does not touch the sides of the
cooking space as it rotates.
Note also when using the microwave and combi modes:
• You should use only heat-resistant, microwave-proof dishes, such as glass,
ceramic, porcelain or temperature-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 could occur which will damage the appliance.
• You should 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 dishes with cavities – which can fill
with water – can crack. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions.
