• Do not leave the appliance unsupervised when drying herbs, bread, mushrooms, etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, this can pose a fire hazard.

How to avoid damaging the appliance

• The construction of the appliance may not be changed in any way. Do not apply force to or interfere with the appliance door or the control and safety devices. The illumination may only be replaced by our Customer Services.
• Always keep the appliance clean. Clean the appliance door with mild detergent.
• Take care not to damage the appliance door, the door frame and the door hinges.

Heating foods and liquids

- Do not leave your appliance unattended when heating or cooking food in containers that are made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials. The containers can melt or ignite.

- Do not heat beverages or food that contain alcohol. Ignition hazard and danger of explosion!

- When heating liquids, place a teaspoon in the vessel to prevent delayed boiling (or superboiling). With delayed boiling, boiling point is reached without the typical steam bubbles forming. Disturbing an open vessel, even slightly, can cause the liquid to shoot out – risk of scalding!

- Do not use vessels with a narrow spout.

- Stir liquids halfway through heating and when the time is up allow the vessel to stand in the cooking space for a short time. Stir the contents once more and then take the vessel out of the cooking space.

- Infant food in jars or bottles must be heated without the lid, top or teat. Infant food must be stirred or shaken well after being heated. It is imperative to check the temperature of the food before giving it to the infant – risk of scalding!

- Do not heat food in tightly sealed containers (tins, bottles, sealed foil, paper or metal disposable packaging). Remove plastic packaging before cooking or defrosting foods. Sealed containers can explode. Always open the containers.

• The cooking time depends on the quantity, nature and initial temperature of the food, as well the dishes being used. Always start with the shorter cooking time given to avoid overcooking the food. Otherwise, smaller quantities or food with a low moisture content can dry out and possibly ignite. If the food has not reached the right stage of cooking when the time is up, then extend the cooking time.
• Prick food with a skin or peel such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, shell food, etc. with a fork. Otherwise, the steam that is produced will be unable to escape and may cause the food to explode.
• Do not cook eggs in the shell. Do not heat up boiled eggs. Eggs can explode in the microwave. Crack the eggs open and then whisk them. Pierce the yolks of fried eggs.

1.7 Note on accessories

The accessories get very hot during use – burns hazard! Always wear protective gloves or use oven cloths.

8 Care and maintenance

Allow the appliance and accessories to cool down before cleaning. The appliance may not be used if the appliance safety door catch is damaged. Inspect these parts regularly.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning aids such as steel wool, knives, glass scrapers, razor blades, etc. to clean the door glass. Scratches on the door glass could cause breakage.

Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents or stainless steel cleaner. Do not use scouring pads, wire wool, etc. as such products will damage the surfaces.

8.1 Cleaning the exterior

▶Remove any soiling or traces of cleaning agent immediately.
- Clean the surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid – for metallic surfaces rub in the direction of the original polish lines. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

8.2 Cleaning the appliance door

Under no circumstances may the appliance door be removed! Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning aids such as steel wool, knives, glass scrapers, razor blades, etc. to clean the door glass. Scratches on the door glass could cause breakage.

▶Clean the appliance door with a soft cloth dampened with water and a litte washing-up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

8.3 Cleaning the cooking space

Always replace the turntable roller and glass turntable immediately after cleaning.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. Do not use scouring pads, wire wool, etc. as such products will damage the surface.

▶Clean the cooking space regularly, especially when food has been spilt. Take care that no grease splashes or food residues harden. Take all accessories out of the cooking space before cleaning.
▶Ideally remove any soiling with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid while the cooking space is still warm to the touch. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
▶For stubborn dirt deposits heat up a glass of water at maximum microwave power level for 2–3 minutes. The steam that is produced will soften the soiling.
▶To eliminate unpleasant odours, heat up a glass of water with lemon juice for 2–3 minutes at maximum microwave power level.

8.4 Cleaning the accessories

Allow the glass turntable to cool down before cleaning. Allow the CombiCrunch plate to cool down well before cleaning. Do not immerse the CombiCrunch plate in water whilst still hot or cool it under running water. Rapid cooling will damage the ComiCrunch plate. Scouring pads, steel wool, etc. will cause visible damage.

The following accessories can be cleaned in the dishwasher:

• turntable roller
• glass turntable
• food cover
• CombiCrunch grip
• wire rack.

Do not clean the CombiCrunch plate in the dishwasher as this could damage the surface coating!

▶Clean using a mild detergent, water and a sponge.
