12 Operation and Handing

This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to operating the device. Observe the following notices to avoid dangers and damages:

▲WARNUNG

WARNING

▶ Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation, so that you can intervene quickly in the event of dangers.

12.1 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 extend 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°C ) 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.

12.2 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

This operating mode is suitable for the normal reheating of food.

◆ “Grill” mode

This operating mode is suitable for frying and browning food.

◆ “Microwave and Grill” mode

This operating mode is suitable for simultaneous microwave cooking and grilling.

Combination 1

In this operating mode, the device works in microwave mode for 30% of the cooking time and in grill mode for 70% of the cooking time.

Combination 2

In this operating mode, the microwave and grillfunction are working at the same time.

◆ “Menu Cooking” mode

In this operating mode, the cooking programme can be selected from 14 different menus.

• Automatic defrost

This mode is for the pre-programmed defrost by weight.

◆ Defrosting mode:

This mode is suitable for the defrosting of frozen food products. You can select between defrosting based on weight and defrosting based on time.

◆ “Multi-level cooking” mode

In this operating mode, you can programme up to 2 automatic cooking sequences.

12.3 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.
▶ 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:

This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to cleaning and maintaining the device. Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.

13.1 Safety information

▲VORSICHT Attention

Please observe the following safety notices, before you commence with cleaning the device:

The oven must be cleaned and food residues must be removed at regular intervals. If the oven is not maintained in a clean condition, this will have a detrimental effect on the service life of the device and can also result in a dangerous condition in the device as well as in the growth of fungus and bacteria.
▶ Switch the oven off prior to cleaning it and unplug the plug from the wall power outlet.
The cooking chamber is hot after it is used. There is a danger of burns! Wait until the device has cooled down.
▶ Clean the cooking chamber after use as soon as it has cooled down. Extended waiting unnecessarily complicates cleaning and can make it impossible in extreme cases. Excessive accumulations of dirt can even damage the device under certain circumstances.
▶ If dampness penetrates into the device, this can damage the electronic components. Please ensure that no liquid can enter the interior of the device through the ventilation slots.
▶ Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

13.2 Cleaning

◆ Cooking chamber and inside of door

Keep the cooking chamber of the oven clean. Wipe off any spattered or spilt food from the walls of the cooking chamber with a damp cloth.

If the oven is excessively dirty, you can use a mild cleaning agent.

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. You can also eliminate the smells with the "Neutralization of smells" function.

◆ Front of device and operating panel

Clean the front of the device and the operating panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Please bear in mind that the operating panel does not get wet. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
