Please note ► If possible, keep the original packaging for the device for the duration of the guarantee period of the device, in order that the device can be re-packaged properly in the event of a guarantee claim.

12.5.1 Setup location requirements:

In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the setup location must fulfil the following prerequisites: The device must be set up on a firm, flat, horizontal and heat-resistant surface with sufficient load-bearing capacity for the oven and the maximum weight of the expected food that is to be prepared in the oven. Choose the setup location in such a way that children cannot reach any hot surfaces on the device. The device is not intended to be installed in a wall or a built-in cupboard. Do not set up the device in a hot, wet or extremely damp environment or near flammable material. The device requires an adequate flow of air in order to operate correctly. Leave a clearance of 20 cm above the oven, 10 cm around the back and 5 cm on both sides.caso MG25C MENU 45 Do not cover up any openings on the device and do not block these off. Do not remove the device’s adjustable feet. The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the power lead can be disconnected easily, in the case of an emergency.

Connect the device to a different electrical outlet, so that various power circuits are used for the device and the receiver with the interference. Use a properly installed antenna for the receiver, to ensure good reception.

12.6 Electrical connection

In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the following instructions must be observed for the electrical connection: Before connecting the device, compare the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the rating plate with those of your electrical network. This data must agree in order that no damages occur in the device If in doubt, ask your qualified electrician. The electrical outlet must be protected by a 16A safety cut-out switch, separately from other electricity consumers. The connection between the device and the electrical network may employ a 3 meter long (max.) extension cable with a cross-section of 1.5 mm². The use of multiple plugs or gangs is prohibited because of the danger of fire that is involved with this. Make sure that the power cable is undamaged and has not been installed under the oven or over hot or sharp surfaces. The electrical safety of the device is only guaranteed if the device is connected to a properly installed protective conductor system. Operations using an electrical outlet without a protective conductor are prohibited. If in doubt, have the house installation checked over by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be made responsible for damages that are caused by a missing or damaged protective conductor.caso MG25C MENU 46 13 Design and Function This chapter provides you with important safety notices on the design and function of the device.

Observe the following notices to avoid dangers and damages: WARNING ► Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation, so that you can intervene quickly in the event of dangers.

14.1 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.caso MG25C MENU 49 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.

14.2 Operating modes:

The unit is to be operated in various operating modes.

Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.caso MG25C MENU 57

15.1 Safety information

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. ► Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items.

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. 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.caso MG25C MENU 58 Please note ► Leave the oven door open to prevent the device from being re-started accidentally. Exterior housing Clean the exterior surfaces of the device with a damp cloth. Metal rack and base plate The metal rack occasionally needs to be cleaned. Wash the metal rack in a warm soap solution. Wipe the bottom of the oven with a mild cleaning agent. If the floor of the oven is excessively dirty, you can use a mild cleaning agent. 16 Troubleshooting This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to operating the device.
