After cooking, check the temperature in several places before letting the meat stand the recommended time. Cooking eggs in your microwave ▯ Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard- cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode. ▯ Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from bursting. ▯ Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked. ▯ Cooking scrambled eggs is safe. Cooking vegetables in your microwave ▯ Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water. ▯ Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables. ▯ Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the Meat Power level Cook time Directions Roast beef (boneless) (up to 4 lbs.)

For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately. Cooking seafood in your microwave Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer. Cleaning and Maintenance WARNING Be sure the entire appliance (including the grease filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance. WARNING Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns. The lenses (if equipped) must be in place when using the appliance. The lenses (if equipped) serve to protect the light bulb from breaking. The lenses (if equipped) are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass can cause an injury. WARNING Light socket is live when door is open if main power supply is not turned off. Cleaning Cleaning Guide ▯ For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the appliance clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and appliance front frame free of food and grease build-up. ▯ Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the appliance inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild deterge

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 appliance weekly or more often, if needed. ▯ Never operate the appliance without food in the appliance cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.

u may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the appliance when it is not in use to prevent damage if the appliance is accidentally turned on. Cleaning the appliance vent filters The appliance ventilation filters should be removed and cleaned often; generally at least once every month. CAUTION To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not operate appliance vent without filters properly in place.

To remove the ventilation filters, slide the filter to the rear. Then pull filter downward and push to the other side. The filter will drop out. Repeat for the 2nd filter.

Soak the ventilation filters in hot water using a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia or wash in a dishwasher. The aluminum on the filter will corrode and darken. Part Recommendations Appliance cavity Keep inside (cavity) of the appliance clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the appliance walls, causing the appliance to work less efficiently. Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use 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 appliance fresh smelling) in a 4 cup microwave-safe dish at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in appliance cavity for 1 or 2 minutes. Wire rack Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-filled pads as directed. Glass turntable tray Remove glass turntable tray from the appliance when cleaning the appliance 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

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 appliance door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the appliance in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. Painted surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik

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 sur- faces 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 chlorine as these may rust the stainless steel Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch”) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you (“Product”), provided that the Product was purchased:

• For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.

• New at retail from a BSH authorized dealer or directly from BSH (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.

• Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to register your Product; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall. How Long the Warranty Lasts Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) 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 thirty (30) 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. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances. Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy During this warranty period, Bosch 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 Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’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 Bosch 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. Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer- defective Product only, using a Bosch authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Bosch 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 Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch’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 Bosch). Nevertheless, taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Bosch will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. Further, to the extent you have installed the Product in a difficult-to- access location or have otherwise installed temporary or permanent fixtures that create barriers to accessing or removing the Product, Bosch will not incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or costs associated with moving the Product or otherwise creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibility. Out of Warranty Product Bosch 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.25 Warranty Exclusions The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that is not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more of the following:
