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.

Warning: Risk of electric shock.!

• Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

Warning: Risk of burns!

• Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let the appliance cool down.

Warning: Risk of serious damage to health!

• 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.

Cleaning agents

To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Do not use

• sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
• metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance door.
• metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,
• hard scouring pads and sponges,
• cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol.

Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
Allow all surfaces to dry thoroughly before using the appliance again.

Malfunction table

Malfunctions often have simple explanations. Please refer to the malfunction table before calling the after-sales service.
If a meal does not turn out exactly as you wanted, refer to the Expert Cooking Guide section, where you will find plenty of cooking tips and tricks.

Warning: A Risk of electric shock!

• Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out by one of our trained after-sales engineers.

Malfunction table

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Which foods are affected?

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products that are heated to high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).

Energy and environment 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 2002/ 96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is valid across the EU.

Expert Cooking Guide

• The charts can be used as a guide. Follow package or recipe directions.

Broil

• Place pan of food on the wire rack with the recess facing up.

Convection Broil

Place pans of food on the wire rack with the recess facing up.

Convection

Preheat the oven before adding foods. Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven quickly to minimize loss of heat. Place pans of food on the wire rack with the recess facing down.

Cooking eggs in your microwave

• Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hardcooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.
• Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Cooking vegetables in your microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
• Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
• Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

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.

Cooking seafood in your microwave

Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING

• Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.

Cleaning Guide

• For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build–up.
• Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
• Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
• Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
• Never operate the microwave oven without food in the oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza, Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
