Important safety instructions Positioning the unit:  Always place the microwave oven on a sufficiently stable, level and heat-resistant surface, ensuring that it is protected from any heat source or excessive humidity.  Do not operate the appliance outdoors.  Sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all times. Therefore, do not place any objects on the unit, and make sure that the following minimum distances from any wall or other object are maintained: Sides: 7.5 cm; Rear: 7.5 cm Top: 30.0 cm The feet on the base of the unit must not be removed. The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when positioning the unit, also ensure that it is not placed directly underneath a shelf or any other similar object. Connection to the mains supply The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label. This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives. Before using for the first time:  Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for recycling.  Do not remove the grey-brown protective cover (5) next to the light on the right of the interior.  Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children; such materials are a potential source of danger e.g. from suffocation.  After unpacking, and before every use, check the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage. Also ensure that the door, including the inspection window, door seals and locks, are not damaged or bent and that it closes firmly against the support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked. Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.  This appliance may only be used by children (at least 8 years of age) provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved. The same applies to persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge. Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance.  Children under 8 years of age must be kept well away from the appliance and its power cord while connected to the mains, or while it is cooling down after use.  Before the appliance is used for the first time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be thoroughly cleaned as described in the section General Care and Cleaning.  Insert the roller ring and the glass turntable into the unit.  Do not operate the appliance without the roller ring and glass turntable properly fitted.  Before the microwave oven is used for the first time, let the appliance heat up on the grill setting (without the microwave function activated) for 10 minutes. A slight odour may be emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure there is sufficient ventilation. Note: Do not switch the unit on in the microwave function unless the food to be heated or cooked 19

has been placed inside the oven. Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit. Important notes:  When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven. The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the liquid during the heating process.  Eggs in their shells (or whole hard-boiled eggs) must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.  Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.  The content of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.  When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil can also ignite. It is therefore important to constantly supervise the appliance during operation. Highly inflammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.  Should any smoke be noticed coming from the appliance during operation, keep the door to the microwave closed to inhibit or smother any flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.  To prevent burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food items from the oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up not only during use of the grill and hot air convection functions, but also during microwave operation.  Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with microwave ovens.  Caution: Certain types of food can catch fire. Do not, under any circumstances, leave the appliance unattended when using the microwave, grill, hot-air convection or combination functions.  This microwave oven is intended for heating up food and beverages only. Caution: any attempt to dry food or clothing, to heat up warming pads, house slippers, sponges, wet or moist cleaning cloths etc. may cause injuries, combustion or fire.  No responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.  The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remotecontrol system.  Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket: - before cleaning, - in case of any malfunction.  When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.  Caution: The exterior surfaces of the appliance become hot during operation. There is also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots: Danger of scalding.  Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to get near to hot cooking plates or naked flames. Do not let the power cord hang free and keep it away from any hot parts.  It is important that the appliance is thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals and that any food residues are removed. Excessive wear may otherwise be caused to the exposed surfaces and the 20

life expectancy of the appliance considerably reduced. In addition, its safety and proper operation may also be affected.  This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as - in shops, offices and other similar working environments, - in agricultural areas, - by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar establishments, - in bed-and breakfast type environments.  Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.  This appliance is a group 2 class B ISM device. Group 2 contains all ISM devices (industrial, scientific, medical) generating radio frequency energy and/or using radio frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also comprises spark erosion devices. Class B specifies devices designed for domestic use, or any similar devices integrated in the general power grid supplying domestic units. The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2) Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food temperature. Always use suitable kitchen utensils:  Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable.  Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven could also cause sparks, resulting in possible damage to the unit.  As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances. Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven.  Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects are also not suitable. Always make sure that no parts of the cooking containers used are hollow (e.g. the handles). Porous materials may have absorbed water during cleaning and are again not suitable. Cooking containers or utensils made of ‘Melamine’ plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable. - Using the microwave function - Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain are particularly suitable for use in microwave appliances. - Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant up to at least 180° C. Cooking bags etc. should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking. Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at 21

most kitchenware dealers. - Using the grill or hot-air convection - With these functions, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used, though not any plastic items. - The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the glass turntable. - Using the microwave/grill or microwave/hot-air convection combination - When using the combination functions, the microwave and grill or hot-air convection functions are activated alternately. The containers or plates must therefore be suitable for use in a microwave appliance as well as being heat-resistant. Because of the relatively high temperatures, plastic items must not be used. The grill racks of this unit are suitable for use with the microwave oven. Make sure that the container or plate used does not contain any metal parts.

Operation General information on programming the unit To ensure optimum results, this appliance uses state-of-the-art electronics. – While a programme sequence is running, the current setting can be called up by pressing the appropriate key. E.g., if during the microwave programme the key is pressed, the display will show the selected power setting. – A programme can be interrupted by pressing the key. – To restart a programme, press the rotary control . Acoustic signal When any control button is pressed or the rotary control turned, a correct input is acknowledged by a beep signal. To cancel the signal, press and hold the button for three seconds. Note: Cancelling the beep signal in this way only affects the use of control button or rotary control; the signals indicating programme sequences will still be active. To re-activate the signal, press and hold the button again for three seconds. General operating sequence – Place the food to be heated in a suitable container. Place the container onto the turntable in the oven. – When food is placed in the microwave, it should be covered to prevent it from drying out. Glass or plastic covers especially designed for use with microwave appliances are available at most kitchenware dealers. – When using the grill, hot-air convection or any of the combination functions, do not cover the food to be cooked. – The grill rack may be put directly on the glass turntable with the food itself on the grill rack. – Close the door and set the desired programme. – As the programme is started, the turntable starts to rotate. During operation, the interior light remains on. – If, during operation, the door is opened or the key is pressed (e.g. to stir or to turn the food in 22

order to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed), the timer and programme functions are automatically suspended. The programme will automatically resume only after the door is closed again and the rotary control key is pressed. – Press twice to interrupt the programme. – A 5-beep signal indicates that the pre-programmed cooking time has elapsed; at the same time, the interior lighting switches off and the display shows ‘End’. – Open the door and remove the container with the food. – In order to achieve an even heat distribution through the food, the container should be set aside for several minutes. Note: If the door is not opened immediately after the pre-programmed operating time has elapsed, a 4-beep signal is heard every 2 minutes. Note: The following steps are used for setting the cooking time: 0 – 5 minutes : 10-second steps 5 – 10 minutes : 30-second steps 10 – 30 minutes : 1-minute steps 30 – 95 minutes : 5-minute steps –

The cooking times generally depend on several factors. - Microwave radiation penetrates the surface of the food. For larger pieces of food, a longer cooking time is therefore needed than for the same amount of food if cut into pieces. The food should also be evenly distributed on the plate. - To ensure that any germs in the food are safely destroyed, the food needs to be exposed to high temperatures for a sufficiently long period. - As a basic rule: half the amount - half the time recommended double the amount - almost double the time recommended.
