• The appliance is designed exclusively for private use and for the envisaged purpose. This appliance is not fi t for commercial use. Do not use it outdoors (except if it is designed to be used outdoors). Keep it away from sources of heat, direct sunlight, humidity (never dip it into any liquid) and sharp edges. Do not use the appliance with wet hands. If the appliance is humid or wet, unplug it immediately. Do not put it in water.

• 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 qualifi ed person and with a cable of the same type.

• Use only original spare parts.

• Pay careful attention to the following “Special Safety Instruc- tions“. Children

• 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!

• To protect children from the dangers posed by electrical appliances, make sure that the cable is hanging low and that children do not have access to the appliance. 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 qualifi ed specialist.

• Warning: Please do not repair the device yourself, but have it repaired by an authorised specialist. Carrying out main- tenance 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 ensure that there is a minimum ventilation gap of 20 cm from cupboards, walls etc. on all sides of the machine.

• Warning: 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.

• 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 fi re.

• If smoke is produced, turn the device off and remove the plug. Keep the door closed in order to suffocate any fl ames.

• 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 fi nished.

• 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 hazar- dous situations.

ENGLISH Initial Operation

• After removing all the accessories from inside the oven, un- pack them and place the sliding ring in the middle. Position the glass plate on the drive axle in such a way that it locks into the dents of the drive shafts and is lying fl at.

• 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.

• The foils on the inside of the door must not be removed!

• Insert the mains plug into a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz power socket.

• Do not remove any installed parts from inside the oven or from inside the door! 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.

• The device is not suitable for baking in fl oating fat.

• Only 1-2 portions should be heated up at the same time. Otherwise the microwave will become less effi cient.

• In order to interrupt the cooking process, turned the timer to „0“.

• 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

• Please do not use any plastic or paper tableware. Operation

1. Place the food to be heated in a suitable piece of tableware.

2. Open the door and place the vessel in the middle of the

glass plate. Then close the door. (For safety reasons the oven only operates when the door is tightly closed.)

3. Adjust the microwave power as required:

Symbol Value Power Microwave in %* Field of Application LOW Keeping warm 18 Melting cheese etc. DEFROST Defrosting 36 Defrosting frozen food M.LOW Low 58 Continued cooking MED Medium 81 Cooking e.g. meat M. HIGH High 95 Brief heating HIGH Maximum 100 Rapid heating

4. Set the required cooking time with the timer.

The cooking time depends on the quantity and constituency of the contents of the oven. With a little practice you will soon learn to estimate the cooking time. Please note: preparation of food in a microwave oven is very much faster than in a conventional cooker. Set the cooking time to a low level if you are not sure and continue cooking again if necessary. Once the cooking time is set the oven switches itself on. The light inside the oven goes on. If you would like to set times shorter than 3 minutes, turn the button past the 10 minute mark and then back. The timer will then run more accurately.

5. When the time has fi nished the oven switches off automati-

cally. A sound is heard. The food should then be removed. Please note: A cover should be placed over the food when operating the microwave. You will fi nd recipe books at specialist bookshops. Cleaning Turn the microwave off and remove the mains plug. Interior

• Keep the interior of the oven clean. Splashes and overfl o- wing liquids on the walls of the oven can be removed with a damp cloth. If the oven is very dirty a mild detergent can also be used. Please do not use any abrasive detergents.

• Wipe off the viewing window on the inside and outside with a damp cloth and remove splashes and stains from overfl owing liquids regularly. External Walls

• The external walls of the microwave should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Please ensure that no water enters the openings in the housing and therefore inside the device.

• The switches should also only be cleaned with a damp cloth. In order to clean the function switch, fi rst open the microwave door to avoid switching on the device so acciden- tally. Accessories

• The glass plate should occasionally be cleaned with was- hing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.

• The rotating ring and the inside fl oor of the oven should be cleaned regularly. The rotating ring can be removed and cleaned by hand. You may use a mild detergent or window cleaner for this. Please dry thoroughly afterwards. Ensure that the ring is put back in the correct position afterwards. Odours

• In order to remove any unpleasant odours that may emanate from the microwave, place a dish fi lled with water and lemon juice that is suitable for microwave use in the oven and heat it for approximately 5 minutes. Then wipe out the oven with a soft cloth. 05-MW 736 NEW 1 26 08.08.2006, 16:17:43 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH
