Any food residue should therefore be removed right away. 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.
-
Caution: 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 send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.
-
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.
-
Caution: 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. 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 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, but also during microwave operation.
-
Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with microwave ovens.
Before first use
- 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.
- Caution: 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. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
- Do not remove the protective film covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable drive or the grey-brown protective cover (4) next to the light on the right of the interior.
- 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.
- Insert the drive unit and the glass turntable into the unit.
- Do not operate the appliance without the drive unit and glass turntable properly 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.
- 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.
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.
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
- Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass 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 function
- When using the grill function, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used. Do not use any plastic items when using the grill.
- The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the glass turntable.
Using the microwave/grill combination function
- When using the microwave/grill combination, the microwave and grill 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.

Timer
- The timer features two scales. The outer scale is for defrosting according to weight in kgs. The inner scale is used for setting the cooking or heating-up times.
- By using the timer, an operating time of up to 30 minutes can be selected.
- When setting the cooking time to less than 2 minutes, turn the knob to a greater value first and then turn it slowly back to the desired setting.
- Once the timer is set, operation starts automatically when the door is closed.
- The appliance can be switched off at any time by setting the timer back to ‘0’.
- For defrosting, set the power selection switch to ‘Defrosting’ (250 W). Use the outer scale on the timer to set the weight of the food to be defrosted. The adjustable values for defrosting are approximate only, and may differ from those actually required. If defrosting is not complete after the elapsed time, repeat the process with a relatively shorter time setting.
Operating sequence
- Place the food to be heated into a suitable container. Place the container onto the turntable in the oven.
- When food is treated with microwaves, 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 microwave/grill combination or the grill, do not cover the food to be cooked.
- When grilling, place the grill rack directly on the glass turntable and place the food on the grill rack.
- Use the power selection switch to set the desired level.
- Close the door and set the operating time with the timer. The turntable starts to rotate; during operation, the interior light remains switched on.
- If the door is opened during operation (e.g. to stir the food), cooking and timer functions are automatically suspended and will automatically resume after the door is closed again.
- After the pre-programmed time has elapsed, a sound signal is heard and the interior lighting is switched off. To save energy, the light only comes on while the unit is operating.
- Open the door and remove the container with the food.
- In order to achieve an even heat distribution in the food, the container should be set aside for several minutes.
Cleaning
- 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 cycle of use. Any food residue must be removed.
- The inside of the door, the door frame, the drive unit and the guiding track area underneath the glass turntable must be kept clean at all times.
- The grill rack, turntable and drive unit may be cleaned in hot soapy water.
