Do not use the appliance with wet hands. If the appliance is humid or wet, unplug it immediately.
• When cleaning or putting it away, switch off the appliance and always pull out the plug from the socket (pull on the plug, not the cable) if the appliance is not being used and remove the attached accessories.
• Do not operate the machine without supervision. If you should leave the workplace, always switch the machine off or remove the plug from the socket (pull the plug itself, not the lead).
• Check the appliance and the cable for damage on a regular basis. Do not use the appliance if it is damaged.
• Do not try to repair the appliance on your own. Always contact an authorized technician. To avoid the exposure to danger, always have a faulty cable be replaced only by the manufacturer, by our customer service or by a qualified person and with a cable of the same type.
• Use only original spare parts.
• Pay careful attention to the following "Special Safety Instructions".

Children and Frail Individuals

- In order to ensure your children's safety, please keep all packaging (plastic bags, boxes, polystyrene etc.) out of their reach.

Caution! Do not allow small children to play with the foil as there is a danger of suffocation!

- In order to protect children or frail individuals from the hazards of electrical equipment, please ensure that this device is only used under supervision. This device is not a toy. Do not allow small children to play with it.

Important Safety Information!

Please read carefully and keep for future use.

• Warning: When the door or the door seals are damaged, the microwave oven must not be used until it has been repaired by a qualified specialist.
• Warning: Please do not repair the device yourself, but have it repaired by an authorised specialist. Carrying out maintenance or repair work which involves removal of the cover that protects the surroundings from microwave radiation is dangerous unless carried out by an expert.

• Warning: Do not heat liquids in closed containers. Danger of explosion!

• Warning: Do not place your microwave in a cupboard. Please maintain the following distances to the sides of the device for the purposes of ventilation:
  – at least 20 cm from the top

• at least 10 cm from the rear wall
• and at least 5 cm from the sides
• Children and frail individuals may only use the oven without supervision if they have been instructed in its use in such a way that they are able to use the device safely and understand the dangers of incorrect operation.
• Warning: If the device is operated using combined mode children may use the device only when supervised by adults due to the temperatures that are produced.
  • Note: The microwave oven is not suitable for warming/heating up living animals.
• Only suitable tableware should be used such as: glass, porcelain, ceramics, heat-resistant plastic or special microwave tableware.
• If food is being heated or cooked in combustible materials, such as plastic or paper containers, the microwave oven should be checked frequently due to the risk of fire.
• If smoke is produced, turn the device off and remove the plug. Keep the door closed in order to suffocate any flames.
• Delay in boiling: During boiling, particularly during the reheating of liquids (water), it may happen that the boiling temperature has been reached but the typical bubbles have not yet started to rise. The liquid does not boil evenly. When the vessel is removed this so-called delay in boiling may result in the sudden formation of bubbles when the vessel is knocked, causing the water to boil over. There is a serious danger of burns! In order to achieve even boiling, please place a glass rod or similar item, but nothing metallic, in the vessel.
• The contents of babies' bottles and jars of baby food must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before use. There is a danger of burns.
• Food with a shell or skin, such as eggs, sausages, sealed jars etc. must not be heated up in the microwave as they may explode even when heating by the microwaves is finished.
• Any dirt on the door frame/door seal and neighbouring parts must be carefully cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Clean the microwave oven regularly and remove any food residues from the interior.
• If the machine is not clean the surface may be damaged, affecting its serviceable life and possibly resulting in hazardous situations.

Initial Operation

- If there are any oil or other residues from the manufacturing process on the housing or heating element, smoke or odours may initially be produced. This is normal and will not occur after the oven has been used a few times.

The following procedure is strongly recommended: Turn the device to the LIGHT WAVE (Grill) function and allow it to run several times without any food inside. Zorg voor voldoende ventilatie. Please ensure adequate ventilation.

i NOTE:

Without any food inside the device can only be operated on LIGHT WAVE (Grill). This is not possible in combi or microwave operation!

• Remove the accessories from the oven compartment and unpack them.
• Check the device for any visible damage, particularly in the area of the door. If any damage is found, the machine must not be used.
• In order to avoid interference to other machines when the microwave oven is operated, do not place it in the direct vicinity of other electronic devices.
• Remove any protective foils that may be adhered to the housing.
• Insert the mains plug into a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz power socket.

CAUTION:

The socket should always be within easy reach in case of emergency.

Using the Device

What you should know about microwave operation:

• Your device works with microwave radiation, which heats up water particles in food in a very short time. There is no heat radiation and therefore hardly any browning.
• Only food should be heated up with this device.
• Do not fry food in the microwave as hot oil may damage the oven and lead to skin burns.
• Only 1-2 portions should be heated up at the same time. Otherwise the microwave will become less efficient.
• In order to interrupt the cooking process, press the STOP/CANCEL button.
• Microwaves provide their full energy levels immediately. Pre-heating is therefore not necessary.
• Never operate the microwave function when the oven is empty.
• The microwave oven does not replace your traditional cooker. It is used mainly for:

– defrosting deep-frozen food
– rapid warming/heating of food or drinks
- cooking meals

Information on Grilling and Combined Operation

• As heat radiation is used during grilling and combined operation, please use only heat-resistant tableware.
• When food is only being grilled, metal or aluminium tableware may also be used -but not during combined or microwave operation.
• Do not place anything on top of the housing as this becomes hot. Always leave the ventilation slits uncovered.
• Please use the grilling grid to move the food to be cooked nearer to the heating element.

Suitable Microwave Tableware

• The ideal material for use in a microwave is transparent and allows the microwave radiation to heat the food evenly.
• Microwaves are not able to penetrate metal, so that no metal vessels or plates should be used.
• Do not use any paper dishes made of recycled material as these may contain small amounts of metal, which may result in sparks or fires.
• Round/oval dishes and plates are more suitable than rectangular ones as the food in the corners may overcook.

The list below is intended to help you select suitable microwave tableware:

Warming

The warming and heating of food is a particular strength of the microwave. Liquids and foods that are in the refrigerator can be easily brought up to room temperature or the right temperature for consumption without the need for many pots.

The heating times contained in the following table are only rough guides as the time depends very much on the starting temperature and the composition of the food. You are therefore advised to check from time to time whether the dish is already hot enough.

Cooking

Practical Cooking Tips

Please keep to the recommended values in the cooking table and the recipes. Keep an eye on the cooking process until you have more experience.

The door of the microwave can be opened at any time. The machine switches off automatically.

This only starts to work again when the door is closed and the START button is pressed a second time.

Foods taken directly from the refrigerator require a slightly longer cooking time than those at room temperature.

The more compact a food is, the longer is the cooking time. For example, a large piece of meat has to be cooked longer than the same quantity of sliced meat. It is advisable to start cooking sizeable quantities on maximum power and then to continue cooking evenly on medium power.

Flat dishes cook faster than thick ones. Therefore it is advisable to spread the food as thinly as possible. Thinner pieces, e.g. chicken legs or fish fillets should be placed towards the inside or allowed to overlap.

Smaller quantities cook faster than large ones.

The following rule of thumb applies:

Double the quantity = almost double the time Half the quantity = half the time

If you are not able to find a suitable time for a dish, the following rule applies:

approx. 1 minute cooking time for each 100 g.

All dishes which are covered up on a normal cooker should also be covered in the microwave oven.

A lid prevents the food from drying out. Suitable covers are an inverted plate, parchment paper or microwave foil. Dishes which are to be given a crust should not be covered when cooked.

*) Ready-made meals.

Tips on Combined Operation

If you prepare food using the combined microwave-grill functions you should note the following:

For large, thick foods such as roast pork the microwave time is correspondingly longer than for small, flat foods. However, in the case of the grill it is the other way round. The closer the food is to the grill, the faster it turns brown. This means that when large joints are prepared using combined operation the grilling time may be shorter than for smaller joints.

Please use the grid for grilling in order to achieve rapid and even browning.

1. After the time has elapsed the device switches off and „END“ appears in the display.

Replenishing with Water

If during the cooking process the water level falls below the minimum mark, the cooking process is interrupted and a beep is heard.

• Wait for approx. 2 to 3 minutes so that the steam can cool down a little.
• Open the lid carefully, as there is still steam and hot water in the water tank.
• Fill the water tank up to the maximum mark. You can use a vessel to help you.
• Then close the lid.

End of the Cooking Process

During the cooking process most of the steam is emitted through ventilation slits on the top of the microwave oven. However, some of the steam remains inside the oven in the form of condensation.

• Open the door slowly as together with the inner walls it is covered with condensation.
• Some of the water may drip on to the working surface. Be prepared to wipe it up.
• When you remove the cooked food, use an oven cloth or similar items to help you.
  • After the oven compartment has cooled down, wipe the inside dry with a cloth.

Water Channel (7)

i NOTE:

When certain (water-containing) products are cooked, increased quantities of condensation are produced on the inside of the door, which may drip on to the worktop when the door is opened. This is „clean“ condensation!

Push to the water channel under the door so that the condensation can drain into the channel.

After every cooking procedure or after an operating time of more than 30 minutes the water channel must be emptied.
