• Only use the accessories supplied or those that are described as suitable in these operating instructions.

• Never use dishes with metal trimmings, metal utensils or the grill rack in microwave mode as this may lead to sparks that could damage the appliance and/or the dishes.

• Use microwave-suitable dishes. Look for markings such as "Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave" when purchas- ing dishes. 4.5. Safety information for heating liquids WARNING! Risk of injury through burning.

• When warming up liquids in the microwave, so-called "de- layed boiling" can occur, i.e. the liquid has reached boiling temperature without beginning to bubble as boiling liquids normally do. Agitation, for instance when removing the liquid from the appliance, can lead to a sudden boiling up of the liq- uid. Liquid could suddenly spurt out of the container.

• Do not use any tall, thin containers.

• Place a glass or ceramic rod in the container when warm- ing up the liquid in order to prevent any belated boiling of the liquid. Wait for a short while after warming, carefully tap the container and stir the liquid before removing it from the cooking area. 16752 MSN5005 0684-5 eCommerce Content final.indb 164 15.10.2015 11:46:18165 of 190

4.6. Cleaning and caring for the appliance IMPORTANT Risk of damage to the appliance.

• Sensitive surfaces on the rotary plate. Avoid contact with acidic foodstuffs. The rotary plate could be damaged.

• Poor appliance hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces, which in turn can reduce the lifespan of the appliance and even lead to dangerous situations.

• Clean the appliance regularly and remove food residues.

• Observe the instructions for cleaning the appliance when cleaning the door seals, the interior cooking space and the neighbouring parts, see “10. Cleaning and care” on page 183. 16752 MSN5005 0684-5 eCommerce Content final.indb 165 15.10.2015 11:46:18166 of 190

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves that have a warming effect on the food within the oven. Microwaves heat all non-metallic objects. Therefore, do not use any metallic objects in microwave mode. This heating effect works better the higher the water content of the foodstuff. To ensure optimal distribution of heat, let food stand for a minute or two in the mi- crowave after cooking. 5.1. Inverter technology In contrast to conventional microwaves, a steady stream of microwave energy is emitted with inverter technology. This is a faster and gentler way of defrosting and cooking meals and food. 5.2. The effect of microwaves on foodstuffs

• Microwaves penetrate foodstuffs to a depth of around 3cm.

• They heat up water, fat and sugar molecules (foodstuffs with a higher water con- tent are heated more intensively).

• This heat then works its way – slowly – throughout the food and has a defrost- ing, heating and cooking effect on the food.

• The cooking space and the air within are not heated (the food container is heat- ed mainly by the hot food itself).

• Each foodstuff requires a certain amount of energy to cook or defrost. As a rule of thumb we can say: high output – short time or low output – long time. 5.3. The microwave oven

• A microwave generator, the so-called magnetron, generates the microwaves and directs them into the cooking area.

• The inner walls and the viewing window reflect the microwaves inwards so that they cannot escape from the interior.

• The microwave output and the cooking time can be set in several steps.

• After the cooking time has elapsed, or when the door is opened, the magnetron turns off immediately. 16752 MSN5005 0684-5 eCommerce Content final.indb 166 15.10.2015 11:46:18167 of 190

6. Cooking and heating up in the microwave

• To arrange food so that it cooks properly, place the food with the largest pieces towards the outer edge.

• Note the exact cooking or heating times.

• Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if necessary. WARNING! There is a risk of fire. Overcooked food can start to smoke or even catch fire.

• Cover food during cooking or heating with a cover that is suitable for the mi- crowave. Covering the food helps avoid splashes; furthermore the food is more evenly cooked.

• Foods such as chicken pieces or hamburgers should be turned once during cooking to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such as joints or roasting chickens must be turned at least once.

• It is also important to reposition food, e.g. with meatballs: After half of the cook- ing time has expired, the food should be repositioned from top to bottom and from the middle to the outside.

• After heating, stir the food if possible to ensure even temperatures, otherwise let the food stand for a short time. 6.2. Microwave-suitable materials You can buy special dishes and accessories for your microwave. Look for markings such as "Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave". You can also use your existing dishes – if the material is suitable.

6.2.1. Suitable materials

• Porcelain, glass ceramic and heatproof glass.

• Plastics which are heatproof and microwave-suitable (Attention: plastics may be- come discoloured by foods or become warped by the heat)

• Baking paper. 16752 MSN5005 0684-5 eCommerce Content final.indb 167 15.10.2015 11:46:18168 of 190 ATTENTION! Risk of fire due to very high temperatures. ` Do not use porcelain, ceramic or plastic containers in grill or combi mode. Cling film should also not be used. Due to the very high temperatures the materi- als could break, warp or even melt.

6.2.2. Materials that are partially suitable

• Stoneware and ceramics. Use clay containers only for defrosting and for short cooking times because the air and water content of the material could cause the clay to crack or break.

• Dishes with gold or silver décor should only be used if they have been labelled "microwave-suitable" by the manufacturer.

• Never use aluminium foil in large quantities. It can however be used e.g. in small pieces to cover sensitive parts. You can also cover the corners of containers to prevent overcooking as the microwave energy is primarily concentrated on the corners. Maintain a distance of 2.5 cm between the foil and the internal wall.

• Aluminium containers (e.g. those for ready-to-serve meals) are suitable, but they must be at least 3cm high to be used in the microwave.

6.2.3. Overview of suitable materials

The following list is a general guide to help you choose the correct cooking dishes: Cooking dishes Microwave Grill Combi mode Heatproof glass Yes Yes Yes Non-heatproof glass No No No Heatproof ceramic Yes Yes Yes Microwave-suitable plastic dishes Yes No No Kitchen paper Yes No No Metal insert No Yes No Grill rack, included in deliv- ery No Yes No Aluminium foil/containers Limited suitability Yes Limited suitability *Combi mode: Microwave + Grill 16752 MSN5005 0684-5 eCommerce Content final.indb 168 15.10.2015 11:46:18169 of 190

6.2.4. Size and shape of microwave-suitable containers

Flat, broad containers are better than narrow, tall ones. "Flat" foods can be cooked more evenly. Round or oval containers are better than angular ones. There is a danger of local overheating in the corners. 6.3. Unsuitable materials

• Metal, i.e. metal pots, pans and lids. ATTENTION! Metal in the cooking space can lead to sparks! These can damage the appliance or the viewing window! ` Therefore, only use the supplied grill rack in grill mode.

• Dishes with metal parts (handles, decoration or bottoms) or with gold or silver décor can also lead to sparks in microwave mode.

• Crystal or lead crystal can shatter, coloured glass may become discoloured.

• Any materials which are not heatproof can lose shape or even burn. NOTE To test whether a dish is suitable for use in the microwave, put some wa- ter in the container and place it in the microwave. Press 2 x on the button. The appliance will now operate in microwave mode for 1 min- ute. If you ascertain that the container is hotter than the food, then it is not suitable for the microwave. Microwave-suitable dishes are only warmed by the heat of the food. WARNING! ` As soon as you notice sparks, flashes or even fire, then turn off the microwave immediately using the button. 16752 MSN5005 0684-5 eCommerce Content final.indb 169 15.10.2015 11:46:18170 of 190

10. Cleaning and care

WARNING! Risk of injury from electric shock. ` Switch the microwave off and pull the plug from the mains socket before cleaning. Poor appliance hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces, which in turn can re- duce the lifespan of the appliance and even result in dangerous situations. There- fore, clean the microwave regularly and remove all remaining food.

• Keep the interior of the microwave clean. Wipe away splashes or spilled liquids that attach to the microwave walls with a damp cloth. A mild cleaning solution can be used for serious dirt. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or a sharp met- al scraper for cleaning the viewing window on the appliance door because they can scratch the surface and destroy the glass.

• Do not use a steam cleaner. Surfaces could get damaged.

• The external surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. In order to prevent damage to the microwave’s internal operating parts, avoid allowing water to penetrate into the ventilation openings.

• Parts of the door, the viewing window, and especially the seal and the closing mechanism should be cleaned carefully with a mild detergent solution. Take great care not to damage these parts.

• Do not let the control panel get wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When clean- ing the control panel, leave the door of the microwave open to prevent the ap- pliance being switched on by accident.

• If steam collects inside or on the external areas, wipe it away with a soft cloth.

• Steam may occur if the microwave is used with high humidity; this is normal.

• The glass rotating plate must be removed occasionally for cleaning. Wash the plate in warm water with a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher.

• Then dry the rotary plate thoroughly with a soft cloth.

• Simply wipe the floor of the microwave with a mild cleaning solution.

• Wash the grill rack where required in warm water with a mild soap solution. Al- low stubborn dirt to soak for a few minutes.

• Lingering odours in the microwave can be removed by placing a glass of water with the juice and rind of a lemon into a deep container that is suitable for mi- crowave use and heating for 5 minutes. Wipe out thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

• If you have to replace the light in the microwave, please contact a qualified spe- cialist workshop or Medion Service. 16752 MSN5005 0684-5 eCommerce Content final.indb 183 15.10.2015 11:46:22184 of 190
