IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
DO NOT HEAT, OR USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS in
or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for drying
textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers, fruit or other combustible materials.
Fire could result.
I
F MATERIAL INSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD
IGNITE OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, keep oven
door closed and turn the oven off. Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
DO NOT OVER-CO OK FOOD. Fire could result.
O NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED, espe-
D
cially when using paper, plastic or other combustible materials in the cooking process. Paper can char or burn and
some plastics can melt if used when
heating foods.
NLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the oven without
O
adult supervision after adequate instructions have been given so that the child is
able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
If your oven has a combination mode, children should
only use the oven under adult supervision
due to the high temperatures generated.
O NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE
D
oven for heating anything in
airtight sealed containers. The pressure increases and may cause damage
when opening or may explode.
O NOT USE corrosive chemicals or va-
D
pors in this appliance. This type of oven
is specifically designed to heat or cook
food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
EGGS
O NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for cook-
D
ing or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell since they may
explode even after microwave
heating has ended.
T
HE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must
be regularly inspected for damage. If these
areas are damaged the appliance should
not be operated until it has been repaired
by a trained service technician.

PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
HIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!
T
HE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food
T
in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
F YOU PRACT ICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass
I
of water inside. The water will absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be damaged.
O NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.
D
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.
DEEPFRYING
D
O NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-frying,
because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent
burns, when touching containers, oven
parts, and pan after cooking.
LIQUIDS
E.
G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully removing the container from the oven.
CAREFUL
A
LWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de-
tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.
A
FTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a
baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before heating!
PUSH PUSH KNOBS
THE KNOBS OF THIS OVEN are aligned with
the buttons on the panel, at delivery.
The knobs will slide out if pushed and
their various functions can be accessed. It is not necessary to
have them petruding from
the panel during operation.
Simply push them back into the panel when you are done with the setting
and continue to operate the oven.

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
HERE ARE a number of accessories available on
T
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.
ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof
and allow microwaves to
pass through them before
cooking.
W
HEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACC ESSORIES in the micro-
wave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of metal or metal parts.
I
F ACCESSOR IES CONTAINING METAL comes in contact
with the oven interior, while the oven is in operation, sparking can occur and the oven could
be damaged.
LWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn
A
freely before starting the oven.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the
Glass turntable. Never put any other utensils on the turntable support.
Fit the turntable support in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking meth-
ods. It collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven.
Place the Glass turntable on the turntable
support.
BAKING PLATE
U
SE THE BAKINGPLATE when cooking
in forced air only. Never use it in
combination with microwaves.
COVER
The Cover is used to cover food during cooking and reheating with microwaves
only and helps to reduce spattering, retain food moisture as well
as reducing the time needed.
U
SE THE COVER for two level reheat-
ing
WIRE RACK
SE THE WIRE RACK when cooking
U
with Forced Air and Grill functions.
WHEN GRILLING WITHOUT MICROWAVES, use the wire
rack to elevate the food closer to the grill element in the ceiling.
STEAMER
SE THE STEAMER WITH THE STRAIN-
U
ER in place for such foods as fish,
vegetables and potatoes.
USE THE STEAMER WITHOUT THE STRAIN-
ER in place for such foods as rice,
pasta and white beans.
ALWAYS PLACE the steamer on the Glass Turntable.
CRISP HANDLE
U
SE THE SUPPLIED SPECIAL CRISP HAN-
DLE to remove the hot Crisp plate
from the oven.
CRISP-PLATE
LACE THE FOOD DIRECTLY ON THE CRISP-PLATE.
P
Always use the Glass turntable as support when using the Crisp-plate.
DO NOT PLACE ANY UTENSILS on the
Crisp-plate since it will quickly become very hot and is likely to cause
damage to the utensil.
THE CRISP-PLATE may be preheated before use
(max. 3 min..). Always use the Crisp function
when preheating the crisp-plate.

START PROTECTION / CHILD LOCK
THIS AUTOMATIC SAFETY FU NCTION IS ACTIVATED ONE

food into it, before the safety lock is released.
Else the display will show “DOOR“.

WHEN USING one of these functions the oven
chooses the default standard setting. This setting normally gives you the best result. But if
the food you heated became too warm to eat
at once, you can easily adjust this before you
use that function the next time. This is done
by selecting a Doneness level with the adjust
knob right after you have pressed the Start
button.
NOTE:
THE DONENESS can only be set or altered during
the first 20 seconds of operation.
COOLING DOWN
WHEN A FUNCTION IS FINIS HED, the oven carries out
a cooling procedure. This is normal.
After this procedure the oven switches off automatically.

CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
O NOT USE METAL SCOURING PAD S,
D
ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-
