2.1 General
ATTENTION!
Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking compartment and cause
permanent damage to the appliance.
The appliance door may spring open due to an explosion and it may fall off.
The door panels may shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative
pressure, the cooking compartment may become considerably deformed inwards.
▶ Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g. for marinating or
pouring over food).
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam.
The change in temperature may cause damage.
▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to
corrosion.
▶ Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed after
cooking at high temperatures.
▶ 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.
▶ Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly
during operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶ Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶ Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.
▶ Do not place, hang or support objects on the appliance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door pane when closing the
appliance door.
▶ Always push accessories fully into the cooking compartment.
2.2 Microwave
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.

information on many meals, with details and tips on how to best use and set
your appliance.
Tip
Cooking tips
- The recommended settings always apply to the cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
- The times specified in the overviews are intended as a guide only. They will depend on the quality and composition of the food.
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 microwaving.
▶ 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.
ATTENTION!
Acidic food may damage the grid
▶ Do not place acidic food, such as fruit or food with an acidic marinade
directly on the pan support.
Note: Information for those allergic to nickel
In rare cases, small amounts of nickel may pass into the food.
-
Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary cookware from the cooking compartment.
-
Select the desired food from the recommended settings.
-
Place the food in suitable cookware.
-
Place the cookware in the middle on the cooking compartment floor.
The food can then absorb the microwaves from all sides. -
Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings.
Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, increase the cooking time. -
Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot cookware out of the cooking compartment.
20.2 Defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as on the temperature,
composition and quantity of the food. This is why temperature ranges are given
in the tables. Begin with the lower temperature and, if neces-sary, use a
higher setting the next time. If you use dif-ferent quantities than those
specified in the table, adhere to the rule of thumb: Double the amount =
almost double the time, half the amount = half the time.
Defrosting with the microwave
Note:
Cooking tips
- Freeze the food flat.
- Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
- Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
- Turn or stir the food 2 to 3 times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
- Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
- After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.
- Separate any defrosted parts when turning.
- To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in the appli-ance after switching it off.

20.3 Heating
With your appliance you can heat food.
Heating food in the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat food.
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 gentlyshaking
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. 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.

20.5 Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
Note:
Cooking tips
-
Do not preheat.
-
Use food to be grilled that is of a similar weight and thickness.
This allows the food to be grilled to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. -
Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. Place the glass dish underneath the wire rack as well. Any dripping fat and meat juices will be caught.
-
Use grill tongs to turn the grilled items.
If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry. -
Do not add salt until after the food has been grilled.
Salt draws water from the meat. -
Dark meat, such as beef, browns more quickly than lighter-coloured meat, such as veal or pork. When grilling light-coloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.
-
The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The grill setting that you use determines how frequently this occurs.
-
Smoke may be produced when grilling.
