Guide rails

• The oven has four or five guide rails (Level 1 to 4/5), depending on the model. Level 1 is mainly used in combination with bottom heat. The two upper levels are mainly used for the grill function.
• Place the oven rack or baking tray in the gap between the guide rail sliders.

Cooling fan

• The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the housing, door and the appliance control panel.
  After the oven is switched Off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in order to cool the oven.

Accessories

Your appliance is accompanied by a range of accessories, depending on the model. Only use original accessories; they are specially suited to your appliance.

Not all accessories are suitable/available for every appliance (it may also differ by country). All the accessories that are being used must be able to withstand the highest temperature of the appliance. When purchasing, always provide the exact identification number of your appliance. Please see the sales brochures or check online for more details about optional accessories.

Accessories that can be supplied with your appliance (depending on the model)
	Enamelled baking tray; to be used for pastries and cakes.
	Oven rack; mainly used for grilling. A steam dish or pan with food can also be placed on the oven rack. The oven rack is equipped with a safety peg. Lift the rack slightly at the front to slide it out of the oven.
	Glass baking tray; for microwave and oven use. · NOT suitable for pyrolysis cleaning.

Consult the cooking guidelines in this user manual to select the correct accessory for your dishes.

As baking accessories heat up, their form may change. This does not affect their functionality and their original form will be restored when they cool down.

The grid or the tray should always be inserted into the groove between the two wire profiles.
- Insert the grid so that the small railing is in the oven interior (toward the back of the oven).

Before you begin

• Open the door and remove the packaging material.
• Do not use the microwave oven when it is damaged, but contact the manufacturer.
• Remove the protection foil from the outside of the microwave oven.
• Clean the inside of the oven and the accessories with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or any strongly smelling detergents.

The actual time will blink in the display.
- Turn the selection key to set the new time and press the clock key again to confirm the setting.

Microwave use

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

Microwave is used in:

• Microwave mode
• Combi-function

Cooking Principle

1. The microwaves generated by the microwave are distributed uniformly, using a rotating distribution system to ensure that the food is cooked evenly. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food:

Quantity and density
Water content
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

Important

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.

Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

Even cooking of the food right to the centre.
An even temperature throughout the food.

Microwave cookware guide

Cookware used for 'Microwave Mode' must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reflect microwaves. That is why cookware made of metallic materials should not be used. Cookware marked 'microwave - safe' is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware refer to the following guide and always use the glass tray on shelf Level 1 when using microwave mode.

Cookware	Microwave-Safe	Comments
Aluminium Foil √× Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used.
China and Earthenware	✓	Porcelain, pottery, earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, unless decorated with a metal trim.
Disposable Polyester Cardboard Dishes	✓	Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.
Fast - Food Packaging • Polystyrene cups containers • Paper bags or newspaper • Recycled paper or metal trims	✓ X X	Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause the polystyrene to melt. May catch fire. May cause arcing.
Glassware • Oven-to-table ware • Fine glassware • Glass jars	✓	Can be used, unless decorated with a metal trim. Can be used to warm foods or liquids. Delicate glass may break or crack if heated suddenly. Must remove the lid. Suitable for warming only.
Metal	X	May cause arcing or fire.
Paper • Plates, cups, Kitchen paper • Recycled paper	✓ X	For short cooking times and warming. Also to absorb excess moisture. May cause arcing.
Plastic	✓	Particularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some other plastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic. Can be used to retain moisture.

General

Microwave power levels

You can see from the table below from which five power levels you can choose and for which foods the power levels are suitable. During use it is possible to change the power by pressing the power/weight key.

Power level Food
900 W - Boiling water, reheating - Cooking chicken, fish, vegetables
700 W - Reheating - Cooking mushrooms, shellfish - Cooking dishes containing eggs and cheese
500 W - Cooking rice, soup
300 W - Defrosting - Melting chocolate and butter
100 W - Defrosting sensitive/delicate foods - Defrosting irregularly-shaped foods - Softening ice cream - Allowing dough to rise

Changing the temperature

During use it is possible to change the temperature. The temperature status can be viewed in the LED status bar. The set temperature is reached when all LED units in the status bar are lit.

Changing the cooking time

During use it is possible to change the cooking time. The step quantities for adjusting the time are as follow (the maximum cooking time that can be set depends on the chosen mode):

• Heating liquids in the microwave can result in delayed boiling. This means that the liquid may start to boil furiously after it is removed from the microwave, with the risk of scalding. You can offset the delayed boiling effect by placing a plastic or glass spoon in the liquid prior to heating it in the microwave.
  Take care with baby food:

Shake or stir the content of babies' bottles or pots of baby food after heating.
Check the temperature of the food carefully prior to consumption to prevent scalding injuries.

• Cutlery and tableware may become hot after using the microwave.

Microwave functions

Warning! Microwave heating of liquids (such as water) can result in delayed eruptive boiling. This means that liquid starts boiling without you seeing any movement.

Once removed from the oven, the liquid can start to boil rapidly and spatter out of the cup with the risk of injury. The effect of eruptive boiling can be eliminated by placing a plastic / glass spoon in the fluid before cooking it in the microwave oven.

Warning! Take care with baby food and jars:

Caution! The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken after heating.
Caution! Carefully check the temperature of the contents before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Warning! Utensils can be hot after use in the microwave oven!

Heating and cooking

• The microwave oven always heats with the same intensity. The more you put in the microwave oven, the longer the cooking time.
• Wide, flat dishes become hot more quickly than narrow, tall dishes.
• Covering dishes with cling film or a suitable lid prevents spattering, shortens cooking time and helps maintaining humidity of the dish.
• Caution! Remove the cling film or lid carefully afterwards. The steam that comes off can be very hot!
• If necessary, moisten foods that quickly dehydrate. First soak potatoes and vegetables in cold water for a moment before placing them in the microwave oven. This prevents a skin forming on them.
• For uniform results, it is best to stir or turn meals once or twice.
• When reheating foods that have already been cooked before, always select the highest microwave power level.
• When cooking in a microwave oven, only small quantities of water, salt and seasoning are necessary. Best add salt after cooking. This prevents moisture being drawn out of the food.
• Food continues to cook for some time after the microwave oven has been switched off. Keep this in mind, don't overcook your meals.
• Caution! When heating small quantities of powdery products (such as when drying herbs), always place a glass of water in the microwave. Otherwise, due to the small quantity, there is a chance of spontaneous combustion.

Defrosting

• Always defrost large, dense pieces using the defrosting programme. The food will defrost gradually and evenly, you will not run the risk of the outside drying while the centre is still frozen.
• To speed up the defrosting process, it is recommended that after a while the food be divided up into smaller pieces.
• For large pieces of meat and dense food, introduce a couple of breaks into the defrosting process.
• When defrosting irregularly shaped food, halfway through the defrosting time you can cover or wrap the thin parts with aluminium foil.
• Preferably use the oven grid when preparing meals. Never place cold (frozen) meals directly on the glass turntable. The difference in temperature may cause it to crack!

Factors that affect the cooking process

• The temperature of the ingredients affects the cooking times. A cold meal will require a longer cooking time than a meal that is already at room temperature.
• Light, delicate foods cook more quickly than heavy, solid foods, such as stews and rolled meats. Take care when cooking light, delicate foods. The edges quickly become dry and tough.
• Small pieces of food are heated more evenly if you place them separately in the microwave, preferably in a circle.
• When using microwave-/combi microwave functions, first position the round wire rack on the turntable and then place the dish on the wire rack. This way, the heat can circulate properly and your dish will be done in no time.
• Bones and fat conduct heat better than meat. Covering chicken legs and wings with aluminium foil prevents burning these parts.
• Microwaves penetrate food to a depth of about 3cm . The centre of thick foods is heated as a result of heat from the heated part (the outside) spreading to the inside.
• Meat and poultry that is cooked in the microwave for more than about 15 minutes becomes lightly browned. Any food cooked for a shorter time can be rubbed beforehand with a 'browning' sauce, such as Worcestershire sauce, soya bean oil or barbecue sauce.
• Greaseproof paper prevents splattering. It also retains heat better.

Basic techniques

- Arranging food

Place thicker pieces on the edge on the turntable. Foods placed on the edge of the turntable receive the most microwaves.

- Stirring

By stirring dishes regularly you distribute the heat stored in them. Always stir from outside to inside, since the outside of the dish always becomes hot first.

- Turning

Turn large, thick foods frequently. They then cook more evenly and quickly.

- Pricking

Foods with a skin or shell, such as egg yolks, shellfish and fruit, burst in the microwave. You can prevent this by pricking them a few times with a fork or skewer beforehand.

- Checking

Foods cook quickly. You should therefore check them frequently. Take food out of the microwave just before it is done.

- Standing

Once you have taken it out of the microwave, let the food stand covered for, in general, 3 to 10 minutes. The food continues to cook. Foods that have a dry crust, such as cake, should not be covered.

Cooking vegetables

• Use fresh vegetables if possible. If the vegetables have become limp because they have been kept for too long, you can refresh them by soaking them in cold water for a little while.
• Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so the bottom of the dish is not covered by too thick a layer.
• Preferably cook vegetables with the water that clings to them.
  Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave cling film.
• Do not add salt. The salts naturally present in the vegetables usually provide enough flavour. If you must add salt, do so after cooking.
  Cook vegetables for as short a time as possible. Allow for them continuing to cook after the microwave has been switched off.
• Check whether the vegetables are done by pricking them with a fork or skewer.

Cooking fish

• Fish should be cooked gradually. With thin fish, fatty fish or small portions, therefore, set the power level to 30% . In other cases, you can safely set the power level a bit higher. Allow, however, for the food continuing to cook after the microwave has been switched off. Fish is done when the flesh has become opaque.

Keeping your appliance neat

• Salts are very abrasive. If salt is deposited in the cooking compartment, rust could develop in places.
• Acidic sauces, such as ketchup and mustard, or salted foods, e.g. cured roasts, contain chloride and acids. These affect the stainless steel surface. Clean the cooking compartment after each use.
  DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass (if provided).
  DO NOT use a steam cleaner to clean the microwave oven.
• If the seal on the outside of the cooking compartment is very dirty, the cooking compartment door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Keep the seal clean.
• Clean the inside and outside of the oven regularly using soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Make sure that the microwave distributor cover (inside the oven on the right) is clean. A cover which is not clean may cause sparking.
• Clean the inside immediately after use. Use a damp cloth to remove any condensation, liquid that has boiled over and food remains. Crumbs and liquid that remain behind absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times.
• Clean the accessories regularly; use soapy water and a brush and dry the accessories thoroughly with a dry cloth. The accessories may also be washed in a dishwasher.
• Odours will disappear if you put a glass of vinegar or water - with lemon juice added - in the oven space. Switch the microwave on for two minutes on full power. Then wipe with a damp cloth.

What to do if...

If the microwave oven does not cook as well as it should do, if there is sparking inside it, or if it does not start, etc., first try to find the reason for the problem yourself before calling the service department.

Check:

• Is the plug in the socket?
  Is the door closed properly?
• Have the power level and the cooking time been set properly?
• Are there any objects in the microwave oven which shouldn't be there?
• Are you using the correct cooking utensils?
• Is the turntable in the microwave oven?
• Are the vents blocked?
• Has the food been defrosted sufficiently?
• Did you stir or turn the food during cooking?
  Is the childproof lock turned on?

On the label on the inside of this equipment, you will find the total wattage, the required voltage and the frequency.

You should dispose of these materials in a responsible manner, according to the government regulations.

The product shows a pictogram of a crossed-out waste container to point out that domestic electrical appliances must be disposed of separately. Thus the appliance may not be processed via the regular waste flow at the end of its useful life. It must be handed in at a special municipal waste depot or at a sales outlet which does this for you.

By collecting household appliances separately, we prevent negative consequences to the environment and our health which could be the result of incorrect disposal. The materials used to make this appliance can be re-used, which means tremendous savings in energy and raw materials.
