In Case of Fire

If materials inside an oven should ignite:

1. Keep door closed
2. Turn appliance off
3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit breaker

Liquids

Two glass glasses: one with a spoon inside, the other with a black X symbol crossed out (no text or symbols present)

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

CAUTION

Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

• Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up.
• Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.
• Stir or turn the food several times during cooking. Check the temperature.
  • After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
  • Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Cooking Items

Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

CAUTION

When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check package weight before using the popcorn function. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.

Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding.

Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and esophagus.

Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave-safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.

Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of

foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.

Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

Browning dishes: Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.

Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist-ties to close bags, instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 12 " (12.7 mm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked.

Cooking Utensils

See also Microwave Utensil Guide.

Cooking utensils, the glass tray and racks get hot during microwaving. Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. Allow the glass tray and the metal racks (if used) to cool before handling.

Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in the oven.

When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 1 inch (25 mm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.

The glass tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot during cooking. The cooking container and the glass tray can be hot even if the oven is cool.

Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.

When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking.

Glass Tray / Turntable Ring

Do not operate the oven without the turntable roller rest and the glass tray in place.

Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result. Verify that the glass tray is properly positioned and turning when the oven is in use.

Note: The glass tray can turn in either direction.

Only use the glass tray designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other tray.

Allow the glass tray to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

Do not place food directly on the glass tray. Always place food in a microwave safe dish.

Microwave utensil guide

Suitable ovenware

- Heat-resistant glass, glass ceramic and earthenware:

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex ^® , Anchor Hocking ^™ , Corning Ware ^® , Emile Henry, etc.).

• China:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

• Plastic films and wraps:

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.

• Microwave-safe plastics:

Microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

• Paper products:

Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.

Unsuitable ovenware

• Metal utensils and cookware:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

• Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.

- Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

- Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

• Tightly covered cookware:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.

- Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.

- Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

• Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

Ovenware test

Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for 12 to 1 minute.

2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time. The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.

The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or if sparks are generated.

Suggestions for best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:

- Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook.

- Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

- Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

- Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. (Constant stirring is not necessary.)

- Turning

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

- Placing food

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

- Arranging food

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

- Letting food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

- Wrapping foods

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

Microwave programs

You can prepare food very easily using the various programs. You select a program and enter the weight or amount of your food. The program then applies the most suitable settings.

Note: The display will give you useful instructions for each of the microwave programs. Press the INFO button whenever it lights up, and read and follow the displayed instructions for best cooking results.

Information on the settings

• The cooking result depends on the quality of the food and the type of cookware. For an optimal cooking result, use food that is in good condition and chilled meat only. For frozen food, use food straight out of the freezer only.
• For some dishes, you will be required to enter the weight or amount. The appliance will then apply the time and temperature settings for you. It is not possible to set weights or amounts outside of the intended range.
• Information is provided, e.g. on cookware, shelf position or the addition of liquid when cooking meat. Some food requires turning or stirring, etc. during cooking. This is shown in the display shortly after operation starts. An audible signal will remind you at the right time.

For best results for cooking by sensor, follow these recommendations:

• Food cooked with the sensor system should start from normal storage temperature.
• Turntable tray, ceramic tray and outside of container should be dry.
• Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, wax paper or lid.
• Foods should be cooked on a microwaveable dinner plate.

Auto Defrost

With the Auto Defrost mode you can defrost three different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal defrost time will be calculated by the program.

The following chart shows the available options and settings ranges.

Food type Quantity (lb)

Ground Meat 0.5 - 2 lb

Meat Pieces (Steaks/Chops) 0.5 - 3 lb

Poultry Pieces 0.5 - 3 lb

Ovenware for defrosting

Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, such as a glass casserole dish or glass plate, but do not cover.

Stand time

The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat and items made from ground meat should be separated from each other before leaving to stand.

After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle.

Tips for defrosting

WARNING

HEALTH RISK

Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other foods.

• You always have to enter the weight in lb when using the Auto Defrost feature (see program table).

• Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.

• Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0^ F (taken directly from a freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5^ F or below, always program a lower food weight to prevent cooking the food.

• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil, if they start to heat up. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity when defrosting.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING

Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.

Cleaning Guide

- For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build-up.

• Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Rinse and wipe completely dry.
• Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
• Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
• Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Part Recommendations

Oven cavity Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap.DO NOTuse harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh-smelling) in a 4 cup microwave-safe dish at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
Glass turntable tray Remove glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.NOTICE:To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking.Wash the glass turntable tray in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Turntable roller rest Clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Door glass	Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik®or Formula 409®on a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, like powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
Painted surfaces	Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik®or Formula 409®to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, like powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Stainless steel surfaces	Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik®sprayed on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic®and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar.Do not use any cleanser that contains chlorineas these may rust the stainless steel.
Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Printed areas (words & numbers)	Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum-based solvents.

Before Calling for Service

Before calling Customer Service, consider the suggestions and instructions below:

Problem Suggestion
Neither the display nor the oven operates.	Reset the household circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.Properly insert the plug into a grounded power outlet.
The display works, but the oven will not operate.	Make sure the oven door is closed securely and completely.Check to see if packing material or other materials are stuck to the door seal.Check for damage to the oven door.Check the oven is not in Demo Mode, it will operate but not heat.
The power goes off before the cook time has elapsed.	Reset the clock and any cooking instructions.Reset the household circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.
The microwave power level switches from power level 100% to power level 80%.	If the oven is set to cook for more than 30 minutes at 100% power level, it will automatically reduce the power to a 80% power level after 30 minutes to avoid overcooking.
You see sparks or arcing.	Remove any metallic utensils, cookware or metal ties from the oven cavity. If using aluminum foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and the interior oven walls.
The turntable makes noises or sticks.	Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven cavity bottom.Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.	This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio.
The touch buttons do not operate properly	This may be due to condensation on keypad. Clean the control panel with a dry cloth. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply by switching off the fuse in the fuse box and switch it back on after 10 seconds. If the problem persists, please shut off the appliance and have an authorized servicer check if the appliance is properly grounded.

How Long the Warranty Lasts

Thermador warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of seven hundred and thirty (730) days from the date of the original delivery. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original delivery, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of delivery or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors.

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy

During this warranty period, Thermador or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Thermador will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Thermador's sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Thermador at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Thermador's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Thermador authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Thermador highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Thermador will have no responsibility or liability for damage resulting from repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Thermador products, and who possess, in Thermador's opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Thermador).

All such costs shall be your sole responsibility.

Out of Warranty Product

Thermador is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

Warranty Exclusions
