specically designed to heat or cook food.
It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
use.
Only allow children to use the appliance

child is able to use the appliance in a
safe way and understands the hazards of
improper use.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
unless used under the supervision of a
person responsible for their safety.

WARNING! Accessible parts may

become hot during use, young children
should be kept away.
Do not use your microwave oven for heating
anything in airtight sealed containers. The
pressure increases and may cause damage
when opening or may explode.
The 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.

IMPORTANT: Eggs: Do not use your

microwave oven for cooking or

since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.

Important precautions
General

This appliance is designed for domestic use
only!
The appliance should not be operated
without food inside. Operation in this
manner is likely to damage the appliance.
If you practice operating the oven, put a
glass of water inside. The water will absorb
the microwave energy and the oven will not
be damaged.
Do not use the cavity for any storage
purposes.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in the oven.

ENGLISH 5

Deep-frying

Do not use your microwave oven for deep­frying, 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

Always refer to a microwave cookbook for
details. Especially, if cooking or reheating
food that contains alcohol.
After 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!

Accessories
General

There are a number of accessories available
on 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.
When you put food and accessories in the
microwave 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.
If accessories containing metal comes in
contact with the oven interior, while the oven
is in operation, sparking can occur and the
oven could be damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to
turn 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
methods. 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.

Baby bottle holder

Use the Baby bottle Holder when heating
baby food in bottles that are too tall to
stand-alone in the oven. Please see also, the
chapter ”Precautions”, for more information
about heating baby food.
(Not available in the UK and Ireland).

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.
Use the cover for two level reheating.

Steamer

Use the steamer with the strainer in place
for such foods as sh, vegetables and
potatoes.
Always place the steamer on the Glass
Turntable.
