Preventing material damageen

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.
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 10 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 customer service. Microwave energy will escape from appliances that do not have any casing. Never remove the casing. For any maintenance or repair work, contact the customer service.

2 Preventing material damage Preventingmaterialdamage
2.1General
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). 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.

If cookware has not been pushed in fully, it may scratch the door pane when the door is closed. Always slide cookware fully into the cooking com-
partment.
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.

enEnvironmental protection and saving energy

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, in-
crease the cooking time. Never use the appliance without the turntable.

¡ Set a shorter cooking time.
¡ Cover the food. ¡ Add more liquid.

12.3Defrosting
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 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.

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.
