▲WARNUNG
Warning
▶ Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation, so that you can intervene quickly in the event of dangers.
15.1 Principles of microwave cooking
- The power levels and time required for cooking / warming up food items depends on the starting time, the quantity and the type and consistency of the food, etc. Use the shortest indicated cooking time and extends the cooking procedure as necessary.
- Arrange the food carefully. Position the thickest areas on the external edge of the bowl.
- Cover the food while it is cooking. Lids protect against spatters and also contribute towards cooking/warming up the food evenly.
- During warming, the food should be turned, rearranged or stirred repeatedly, in order for the temperature to be distributed evenly.
- Any existing germs in the food are only killed off if the temperature is sufficiently high enough ( >70^ ) and if the time used is sufficiently long enough ( >10 m in ).
- Foods with a firm skin or shell, such as tomatoes, sausages, potatoes in the skin, eggplants must be pierced or punctured repeatedly so that any developing steam can escape and so that the food does not burst.
- Eggs without their shell may only be cooked in the microwave if the skin of the egg yoke has been pierced repeatedly first. Otherwise, the egg yoke can squirt out with excessive pressure after cooking.
- Rearrange layers of foods such as meat balls from top to the bottom and from the middle to the outside edge.
15.2 Operating modes:
The unit is to be operated in various operating modes. The following list shows the operating modes that are possible with the device:
◆ “Microwave” mode

◆ “Microwave and Convection” mode
This operating mode is suitable for simultaneous microwave cooking and convection operations.
♦ „Cooking Program“ Mode
This mode allows you to select the cooking program from 9 different menus.
15.3 Information on microwave cookware
The ideal material for microwave cookware is permeable for microwaves and allows the energy to penetrate the container and warm up the food.
Please observe the following tips when selecting the correct cookware:
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Therefore, you should not use utensils made of metal or cookware with metal trim.
For microwave cooking, do not use any products made from recycled paper, as they could contain tiny metal fragments, which could cause sparks and/or result in fire.
▶ Use round or oval instead of square or rectangular cookware, as otherwise the food could tend to overheat in the corners.
▶ You can use narrow strips of aluminium foil to protect sensitive areas against excessive heating. But do not use too much foil and maintain a distance of approx 2.5 cm between the foil and the walls of the cooking chamber.
▶ Do not use any aluminium foil when using the microwave or combinations with the microwave (see following table).
The following table is intended as a basis for selecting the correct cookware:

- Wipe the door, window and the door gaskets with a damp cloth, to remove any spatters and spilt food. Residues on the door gasket can mean that the door does not close properly any more, which will cause the microwaves to escape.
- Wipe off any steam, which has settled on the oven door, with a soft cloth. This may be the case if the device is used in an extremely damp environment and is normal.
- Smells can be removed from the oven by mixing a cup of water with the juice and the skin of a lemon, pouring this into a deep microwave-proof bowl and allowing it to cook in Microwave mode for five minutes. Then, dry off the oven thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- After cleaning the interior space, leave the oven door open until the interior of the device is completely dry.
