Important notes

Warning: Certain types of food may tend to catch fire. Do not, under any circumstances, leave the appliance unattended when using the microwave, grill, hot-air or combination functions.
This microwave oven is intended for the defrosting, heating and cooking of food only. Caution: Any attempt to dry food or clothing, to heat up warming pads, house slippers, sponges, wet cleaning cloths etc. may cause injuries, combustion or fire.
No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Do not use any metal containers when heating up food or beverages using the microwave function.
For detailed information, please refer to section ‘Always use suitable kitchen utensils’.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.
Children must not be permitted to play with the appliance.
Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance unless they are supervised and at least 8 years of age.
The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.
Warning: Because of the high temperatures that occur during operation in the grill and/or hot-air functions, children must not use the appliance unless they are properly supervised by an adult.
When using the combination, grill and/or hot-air functions, take extreme care not to touch the interior heating elements.
Do not use any steam cleaning appliances for cleaning.
Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket:
- before cleaning,
- in case of any malfunction,
- after each use.
When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.
Warning: The exterior surfaces of the appliance may become hot during operation. There is also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots, with a consequent risk of scalding.
Let the appliance cool down sufficiently before it is transported.
Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or come into contact with any heat sources. Do not let the power cord hang free, and keep it away from any hot parts.
If the unit is not kept properly clean, deterioration in the quality of its surfaces may be caused, with possible subsequent shortening of its life-cycle, as well as potential risk to the user’s safety. Any food residue should therefore be removed right away. Wipe the door seals, the cooking chamber with its turntable and all adjacent parts with a damp cloth after each use. The grill rack and turntable are cleaned with warm soapy water. For detailed information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section Cleaning.
This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as the
- staff kitchens in shops, offices and other similar working environments,
- agricultural working environments,
- by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar accommodations,
- in bed-and breakfast type environments.
Warning: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please contact our customer service department by telephone or email (see appendix).
When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven. The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the container during the heating process.
Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.
Warning: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
The contents of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. Caution: To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil are also inflammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during operation. Highly volatile or inflammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
To prevent danger of burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food items from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up not only during use of the grill or hot-air functions, but also during microwave operation.
Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with microwave ovens.

Before using for the first time

After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage.
Warning: Ensure that the door, including the inspection window, door seals and locks, are not damaged or bent and that it closes firmly against the support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked. Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.
Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials, and any promotional or other stickers found. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
Do not remove the protective film covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable drive, turntable rollers or the grey-brown protective cover (6) next to the light on the right of the interior.
Caution: Do not remove the rubber plugs from the grill rack.
Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – such materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.
Before the appliance is used for the first time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be thoroughly cleaned as described in the section Cleaning.
Fit the turntable into the unit.
Do not operate the unit without the turntable and rollers fitted.
Before the microwave appliance is used for the first time, let it heat up on the grill setting (without the microwave function activated) for approximately 10 minutes. This will remove the smell typically encountered when first switching on a grill. A little smoke may be emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
_ Note: _Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed inside the oven. Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.

IMS device

This appliance is a group 2 class B ISM device. Group 2 contains all ISM devices (industrial, scientific, medical) generating radio frequency energy and/or using radio frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also comprises spark erosion devices. Class B specifies devices designed for domestic use, or any similar devices integrated in the general power grid supplying domestic units.

The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011)

Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food temperature.

Always use suitable kitchen utensils

Place the food directly onto the turntable/grill rack. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the turntable.
Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven could also cause sparks, resulting in possible damage to the unit.
As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances. Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven.
Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects are also not suitable.
Always make sure that no parts of the cooking containers used are hollow (e.g. the handles). Porous materials may have absorbed water during cleaning and are again not suitable. Cooking containers or utensils made of ‘Melamine’ plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable.

Using the microwave function

Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain are particularly suitable for use in microwave appliances.
Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant.
Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at most kitchenware dealers.
Cooking bags etc. should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.

Using the grill or hot-air function

With these functions, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used, though not any plastic items.

Using the microwave/grill or microwave/hot-air combination

When using the combination functions, the microwave and grill or hot-air functions are activated alternately. The containers or plates must therefore be suitable for use in a microwave appliance as well as being heat-resistant. Because of the relatively high temperatures, plastic items must not be used. Make sure that the container or plate used does not contain any metal parts.

Hint!

The turntable is ideal for preparing home-made pizza. Simply put the dough on, cover with tomato sauce and the any desired toppings, and prepare as described in the section Automatic program A11. Using the turntable and the Pizza Express function, even deep-frozen pizza turns out perfect.

General operating sequence

Place the food directly on the turntable/grill rack, or in a suitable container which is then placed inside the oven.
When food is placed in the microwave, it should be covered to prevent it from drying out. Glass or plastic covers especially designed for use with microwave appliances are available at most kitchenware dealers.
When using the grill, hot-air or any of the combination functions, do not cover the food to be cooked.

Should the food not be completely defrosted after the pre-set defrosting time has elapsed, it is advisable to limit any further defrosting times to 1-minute periods until the food is fully defrosted.
Food stored in plastic containers not suitable for use in microwave ovens should be left for a while after being taken from the freezer. Wait until the food can be easily detached from the plastic, before it is put into the oven inside a container suitable for use with microwave ovens.

Interior lighting

The interior light comes on when the door is opened; it also remains on during operation. It goes out once a programme has finished.

Cleaning

The microwave should be cleaned regularly, removing any food residue right away after use.
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
Do not clean the unit with water: ensure that no water is allowed to enter the ventilation slots on the inside or outside of the unit. Do not use any steam cleaning appliances for cleaning.
The entire unit may be wiped with a slightly damp lint-free cloth and a mild household detergent. Wipe thoroughly dry afterwards.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. Commercially available cleaning sprays for conventional baking ovens are not to be used.
The interior surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly after each operation cycle. The inside of the door, the door frame, the rollers and the guiding track area underneath the turntable must be kept clean at all times.
The grill rack and turntable may be cleaned with warm soapy water.
Caution: Do not put any parts in a dishwasher.
