enSafety
Never defrost or heat food with a low water content, such as bread, at too high a microwave power or for too long.
Cooking oil may catch fire. Never use the microwave to heat cooking
oil on its own. WARNING Risk of explosion!
Liquids and other food may easily explode when in containers that have been tightly sealed. Never heat liquids or other food in contain-
ers that have been tightly sealed. WARNING Risk of burns!
Foods with peel or skin may burst or explode during heating, or even afterwards. Never cook eggs in their shell or heat hard-
boiled eggs in their shell. Never cook shellfish or crustaceans. Always prick the yolk of eggs before mi-
crowaving. The skin of foods that have a peel or skin,
such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages, may burst. Before heating, prick the peel or skin. Heat is not distributed evenly through baby food. Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always remove the lid or teat. Stir or shake well after heating. Check the temperature before giving the food or drink to a child. Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become hot. Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or accessories from the cooking compartment. Airtight packaging may burst when food is heated. Always follow the instructions on the packaging. Always use oven gloves to remove the dishes from the cooking compartment. The accessible parts of the appliance become hot during operation. Never touch these hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.

Using the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose is dangerous. This is because, for instance, overheated slippers, pillows filled with grain or cereal, sponges and damp cleaning cloths, etc., may cause burns to the skin. Never dry food or clothing with the appli-
ance. Never heat up slippers, pillows filled with
grain or cereal, sponges, damp cleaning cloths or similar with the appliance. The appliance must only be used to prepare food and drink.
WARNING Risk of scalding! There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches the boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently shaking the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil over and splatter. Always place a spoon in the container
when heating liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
WARNING Risk of injury! Unsuitable cookware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic cookware can have small perforations in the handles and lid. These perforations conceal a cavity below. If moisture penetrates this cavity, it could cause the cookware to crack. Only use microwave-safe cookware. Cookware and containers made from metal or cookware with metal edging may lead to sparks being formed during simple microwave operation. The appliance is damaged. Never use metal containers during mi-
crowave-only operation. Only use microwave-safe cookware.
WARNING Risk of electric shock! The appliance uses a high voltage. Never remove the casing.

Preventing material damage

WARNING Risk of serious harm to health! Inadequate cleaning may destroy the surface of the appliance, reduce its service life, and lead to dangerous situations, such as escaping microwave energy. Clean the appliance on a regular basis,
and remove any food residue immediately. Always keep the cooking compartment,
door and door stop clean. “Cleaning and servicing”, Page 12

Never operate the appliance if the cooking compartment door is damaged. Microwave energy may escape. Never use the appliance if the cooking
compartment door or the plastic door frame is damaged. Any repair work must only be carried out by the after-sales service. Microwave energy will escape from appliances that do not have any casing. Never remove the casing. Contact our after-sales service if maintenance or repair work is needed.

2 Preventing material damage
2.1General
ATTENTION! The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion. Always wipe away the condensation after cooking. Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed. Do not store food in the cooking compartment. Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it. Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
2.2Microwave
Follow these instructions when using the microwave. ATTENTION! Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane. Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may cause sparks, which will damage the appliance. Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.

Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when performing a short cookware test. If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in immediate succession at a microwave power level that is too high, the cooking compartment may be damaged. Leave the appliance to cool down for several minutes between each use. Never set a microwave power level that is too high. Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The microwave feed is damaged by the removal of the cover. Never remove the cover of the microwave feed in the cooking compartment. Removing the transparent film from the inside of the door damages the appliance door. Never remove the transparent film on the inside of the door. Liquid that penetrates the interior of the appliance may damage the turntable drive. Monitor the cooking process. Set a shorter cooking time first and, if necessary, increase the cooking time. Never use the appliance without the turntable.

How it works

15 How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have tailored these recommendations to your appliance.
15.1What is the best way to proceed?
In this section, you will find out the best way to proceed step-by-step in order to be able to make optimum use of the recommended settings. You will get information on many meals, with details and tips on how to best use and set your appliance.
WARNING Risk of burns! Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become hot. Always use oven gloves to remove cookware or ac-
cessories from the cooking compartment. Note: The times given in the tables are guidelines and depend on the quality, temperature and consistency of the food. 1. Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary
cookware from the cooking compartment. 2. Select a type of food from the recommended set-
tings. 3. Add the food to a suitable tableware.
“Microwave-safe cookware and accessories”, Page 8 4. Always place the cookware on the turntable. 5. Set the appliance according to the recommended settings. Time ranges are often specified in the recommended settings. Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, increase the cooking time. If two microwave power settings and times are specified in

the tables, set the first microwave power setting and cooking time first and, after the signal, set the second. Tip: If you want to cook quantities that deviate from those specified in the tables, set approximately double the time for double the amount.
15.2Defrosting
With your appliance you can defrost frozen food.
Defrosting food 1. Place the frozen food in an open container on the
turntable. Delicate parts, such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts, can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the sides of the cooking compartment. 2. Start the operation. You can remove the foil halfway through the defrosting time. 3. Note: Liquid is produced when you defrost meat and poultry. Drain off any liquid when turning and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods. 4. Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it defrosts. Turn large pieces of food several times. 5. To even out the temperature, leave the defrosted food to stand at room temperature for approx. 10­ 20 minutes. You can remove the giblets from poultry at this point. You can continue to cook the meat even if a small section of it is still frozen in the centre.

Defrosting with the microwave Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to defrost frozen food.

How it worksen

WARNING Risk of scalding! There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. Always place a spoon in the container when heating
liquids. This will prevent delayed boiling.

ATTENTION! Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane. Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. 1. Take ready meals out of the packaging and place in microwave-safe cookware. 2. Distribute the food flat in the cookware. 3. Cover the food with a suitable lid, a plate or special microwave foil. 4. Start the operation. 5. Turn or stir the food several times during cooking. The speed at which different components of the meal heat up may vary. 6. Check the temperature. 7. To even out the temperature, leave the heated food to stand at room temperature for approx. 2­5 minutes.

Heating frozen food in the microwave Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat frozen food.
