▪ If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
▪ If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the power sup-
ply immediately.
▪ Ensure there are no foreign bodies or pets in the cooking space before
closing the appliance door.
▪ Objects that could pose a danger if the appliance were accidentally

9
Page 10
1 Safety precautions
▪ Always open sealed food containers before placing them in the cooking
space. Danger of explosion due to excess pressure!
Caution: Risk of burns!
▪ The appliance gets very hot when in use. The appliance door also gets hot.
▪ Steam and/or hot air may escape from the cooking space when the appli-
ance door is opened.
▪ 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.
▪ 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.
▪ Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger
of explosion!
▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended when drying herbs, bread, mush-
rooms, etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, it can pose a fire hazard.
▪ 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.
▪ Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.
▪ Do not heat up alcoholic beverages!
▪ When heating liquids in a microwave, place a teaspoon in the vessel to pre-
vent delayed boiling. When delayed boiling occurs, the boiling temperature
is reached without the usual steam bubbles rising. Disturbing a vessel, even
slightly, can cause the liquid to erupt if the container is open. Do not use
vessels with a narrow lip.
Caution: Risk of injury!
▪ Be careful not to put fingers in the door hinges, there is otherwise a risk of
injury if the appliance door is moved. Particular care should be taken when
children are around.
▪ Only leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position. An open appli-
ance door poses a danger of tripping or injury! Do not sit or rest on the appliance door or use it as a storage surface.
▪ For hobs: A hob guard can be fitted to protect small children. Hob guards
are available from specialist retailers.

1 Safety precautions
Caution: Risk to life!
▪ Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material, e.g. plastic film and poly-
styrene, away from children. Packaging material can be dangerous for children.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ Close the appliance door carefully.
▪ For appliances with visible bottom heating element: Do not place any ob-
jects directly on the bottom heating element.
▪ Do not use protective aluminium inserts with appliances with no visible bot-
tom heating element.
▪ Do not use objects that can rust in the cooking space.
▪ Using knives or cutting wheels on the baking tray will visibly damage the
surface.
▪ To prevent corrosion, leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position
until the cooking space has cooled down.
▪ When cleaning the appliance, make sure no water gets inside it. Use a
moderately damp cloth. Do not spray the outside or the inside of the appliance with water. If water gets inside the appliance, it will cause damage.
▪ 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.
▪ Take care not to damage the appliance door, the door frame and the door
hinges.
▪ 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.
1.5 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 exclusively 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.
11
Page 12
1 Safety precautions
▪ 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.
CombiCrunch plate
▪ Only use the CombiCrunch plate in the CombiCrunch mode.
▪ Never use the CombiCrunch plate in the CombiCrunch mode together with
the wire rack.
▪ Never use the CombiCrunch plate as a stand for dishes or containers.
Wire rack
▪ Always place the wire rack in the centre of the glass turntable.
▪ Never lay metal dishes on the wire rack in combi mode. This could cause
sparks which could damage the appliance.
▪ Never use the wire rack for favourite, microwave or CombiCrunch operation.
This could cause sparks which could damage the appliance.
Food cover
▪ Only use the food cover in microwave mode. Otherwise, the food cover
could melt.
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.

2 Disposal
Packaging
▪ All packaging materials (cardboard, plastic film (PE) and polystyrene (EPS))
are marked and should, if possible, be collected for recycling and disposed
of in an environmentally friendly way.
Disconnection
▪ Disconnect the appliance from the mains. With a fixed appliance, this is to
be carried out by a qualified electrician!
Safety
▪ Disable the appliance to prevent accidents caused by improper use, espe-
cially through children playing.
▪ Pull the plug out of the mains socket or have the appliance disconnected
from the mains by an electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the
appliance.

ing-up liquid – for metallic surfaces rub in the direction of the original polish
lines. Dry with a soft cloth.
10.2 Cleaning the appliance door
Under no circumstances may the appliance door be removed, otherwise the protection against leaking microwaves is no longer guaranteed.
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.
▸ Clean the appliance door with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little
washing-up liquid.
