• Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
• If you are heating liquid in the microwave then you must also place a teaspoon in the container. This will ensure that the liquid does not boil suddenly after being removed from the microwave cavity.
• Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage.
• Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment for long periods. Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to corrosion.
• Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over time.
• Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
• Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is a short crockery test (see the section “Microwave, suitable crockery”).
• Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance door.
• Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.
• Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.
• Liquid that has boiled over must not be allowed to run through the turntable drive into the interior of the appliance. Monitor the cooking process. Choose a shorter cooking time initially, and increase the cooking time as required.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Microwave power level

Note: Condensation During Microwave Cooking
Because microwave-only cooking heats the food and not the oven, moisture released as steam during cooking may form condensation on the cooler walls and doors of the oven. This is normal and does not adversely affect microwave operation.
Recommendations:
Covering the food with a microwave oven compatible plastic food wrap with some ventilation holes in it, when using the Microwave function only, will not only reduce the amount of condensation but help retain moisture in the cooked food. This will also quicken the cooking process and reduce splatters in the microwave. Be careful when removing the plastic wrap because the moisture vapours released will be very hot.
Plastic food wrap SHOULD NOT be used during grill, steam, convection or microwave combination cooking. If the oven is used in the convection fan forced mode or grill there will be no condensation. If the oven is used in a combi mode such as convention cooking with microwave cooking the condensation will be reduced as the internal surfaces of the oven will be hot.
If condensation is apparent after cooking is completed, wipe out with a dry cloth and leave the door open until the interior of the oven is dry.

Convection Hot Air Frying
To Air Fry select the Fan Forced Convection function. Place the glass oven tray in the lower level of the oven. (See image). Insert the wire rack inverted so it sits above, not in, the glass oven tray. Do not place the glass oven tray on the floor of the oven.
Place the food in an open wire air frying basket (such as Kleenmaid Air Fryer Basket AFB6010) and sit it on the wire rack. Follow the directions for Fan Forced cooking on the food packet. Do not use the packet directions for use with an Air Fryer.

Cooling Fan
Your appliance has a cooling fan which switches on during operation, allowing hot air to escape above the door. The cooling fan continues to run for a certain time after operation.
Note: The appliance remains cool during microwave operation. The cooling fan will still switch on and may run for a short time even when microwave operation has ended.
Caution! Do not cover the ventilation slots, otherwise the appliance will overheat.

CARE AND CLEANING

With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
Risk of electric shock.!
Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Microwave energy may escape if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Never use the appliance if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Contact the after-sales service.
Notes

• Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
• Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the oven light.
• Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave power.

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL TIPS

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy

• Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
• Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.
• Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are cooking, baking or roasting. \
• It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
• For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance complies with European Directive 2012/ and Electronic Equipment 19/EC on Waste Electrical (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is valid across the EU.

Heating food
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 moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
