13.4 Disposal of the packaging

The packaging protects the device against damages during transit. The packaging materials are selected in accordance with environmentally compatible and recycling- related points of view and can therefore be recycled. Returning the packaging back to the material loop saves raw materials and reduces the quantities of accumulated waste. Take any packaging materials that are no longer required to “Green Dot” recycling collection points for disposal. 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.

13.5.1 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.55 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. 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.

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.

15.1 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 extends 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.

15.2 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. “Double-Grill” mode This operating mode is suitable for frying and browning food.61 “Microwave and Grill” mode This operating mode is suitable for simultaneous microwave cooking and grilling. Combination 1: Top grill and microwave, Combination 2: Low grill and microwave Combination 3: Double grill and microwave “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. „Cooking Program“ Mode This mode allows you to select the cooking program from 9 different menus.

15.3 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. ► Do not use any aluminium foil when using the microwave or combinations with the microwave (see following table). The following table is intended as a basis for selecting the correct cookware: Cookware Microwave Grill Convection Combination* Heat-resistant glass dishes

Heat-resistant ceramic dishes

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

16.1 Safety information

Attention Please observe the following safety notices, before you commence with cleaning the device: ► The appliance must be cleaned regularly and any food residues must be removed. Insufficient cleanliness of the device can lead to the destruction of the surface, which for its part can have a negative impact upon the service life of the appliance and can lead to a dangerous condition of the appliance as well as fungal and bacterial contamination. ► 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.70

Cooking chamber and inside of door Danger of fire ► Always remove grease residues in the device, as these residues can otherwise ignite. 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.
