11 Operation and Handing
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to operating the device.
Observe the following notices to avoid dangers and damages:
⚠️WARNUNG Warning
▶ Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation, so that you can intervene quickly in the event of dangers.
11.1 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.
- 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.
11.2 Operating modes:
The unit is to be operated in various operating modes. The following list shows the operating modes that are possible with the device:
◆ “Microwave” mode
This operating mode is suitable for the normal reheating of food.
◆ “Grill” mode
This operating mode is suitable for frying and browning food.
◆ “Microwave and Grill” mode
This operating mode is suitable for simultaneous microwave cooking and grilling.
Combination 1
In this operating mode, the device works in microwave mode for 30% of the cooking time and in grill mode for 70% of the cooking time.
Combination 2
In this operating mode, the device works in microwave mode for 55% of the cooking time and in grill mode for 45% of the cooking time.
◆ “Convection” mode
In this operating mode, the hot air in the cooking chamber circulates in order to warm the food quickly and evenly.
◆ “Microwave and Convection” mode
This operating mode is suitable for simultaneous microwave cooking and convection operations.
◆ „Multi-Stage Cooking“ Mode
This mode allows you to program up to three automatic sequences. It is possible to set the sequence and duration of defrosting, microwave cooking and grilling or hot air mode.
♦ „Cooking Program“ Mode
This mode allows you to select the cooking program from 9 different menus.
◆ Automatic defrost
This operating mode is suitable for defrosting frozen food.
11.3 Information on microwave cookware
The ideal material for microwave cookware is permeable for microwaves and allows the energy to penetrate the container and warm up the food.
Please observe the following tips when selecting the correct cookware:
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Therefore, you should not use utensils made of metal or cookware with metal trim.
For microwave cooking, do not use any products made from recycled paper, as they could contain tiny metal fragments, which could cause sparks and/or result in fire.
▶ Use round or oval instead of square or rectangular cookware, as otherwise the food could tend to overheat in the corners.
▶ You can use narrow strips of aluminium foil to protect sensitive areas against excessive heating. But do not use too much foil and maintain a distance of approx 2.5 cm between the foil and the walls of the cooking chamber.

This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to cleaning and maintaining the device. Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.
12.1 Safety information
▲VORSICHT 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.
