Important notes

Caution: Certain types of food may tend to catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
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.
Use only suitable kitchen utensils. 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.
Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are older than 8 years and are supervised.
The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.
To avoid any risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with liquids or immerse it in a liquid.
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.
Caution: 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.
Allow the appliance to cool down sufficiently before transporting it.
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 a potential risk to the user’s safety. Clean the door seals, the cooking area with the ceramic base, and the adjacent parts with a damp cloth after each use. For detailed information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section Cleaning.
The appliance must not be cleaned using a steam cleaner.
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 accommodation,
– 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 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.
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. To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
When heating or cooking food contained or is wrapped incombustible 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 the danger of burns, a suitable oven cloth must always be used when removing food from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up with the food.
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.
Warning! Ensure that the door, including the inspection window, door seals, and locks, are not damaged or bent and that it doses 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. The nameplate must not be removed. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
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
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.

ISM Device
This product is an ISM device of Group 2 Class B. Group 2 includes all ISM devices (industrial, scientific, medical), as well as spark-erosion devices, in which radiofrequency energy is generated and/or is utilized in the form of electromagnetic radiation for processing materials. Class B are devices for household use or devices on power supply networks that feed residential buildings.

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, containers,s 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 on the ceramic base for cooking, but rather use suitable dishes.
Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be 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 aluminum foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances. Should the use of aluminum foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminum foil (avoiding any air blisters)? Ensure a minimum distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminum foil and the interior walls of the
Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or color 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.
Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain are well suitable for use in microwave appliances.
Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant.
Cooking bags etc. should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.
Plastic cooking containers specially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at most kitchenware dealers.

Operating sequence

Put the food into a suitable dish and place it on the ceramic base inside the cooking area.
When food is treated with microwaves, it should be covered to prevent it from drying out. Glass or plastic covers specially designed for use with microwave appliances are available at most kitchenware dealers.
Select the appropriate power using the ‘Power setting’ rotary control.
Close the door and set the required time with the ‘Time setting’ rotary control or the appropriate weight for defrosting.
The cooking/defrosting process will begin and the interior area will be illuminated.
In order to achieve an even heat distribution, we recommend opening the door halfway through and stirring or turning the food. Warning, Burn Risk! Use suitable potholders!
If the door is opened during the cooking process, the appliance will switch off and the running time will stop.
After the set time has elapsed, a signal will sound and the lighting inside the appliance will switch off.
Warning, Burn Risk! Use suitable potholders!
Allow the food to rest for a few minutes so that the heat can be evenly distributed.
After the preparation, leave the door open for a while to allow any moisture to escape.

Cleaning

The microwave must be cleaned regularly and any food residue must be removed after each use.
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 appliance must not be treated with liquids. No liquid may enter the ventilation openings on the inside or outside of the appliance.
A slightly damp, soft cloth and a very small amount of dish detergent are suitable for cleaning the ceramic plate and the entire appliance.
The interior surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly after each cycle of use. Any food residue must be removed.
Clean the cooking area after each use. The inside of the door, the door frame, and the ceramic plate must always be kept clean.
