NORMAL The microwave interferes with the TV reception. Interference with the radio and TV reception is possible when operating a microwave. This is similar to the interference caused by small electrical appliances such as mixers, vacuum cleaners and electric fans. This is normal. Weak oven light When cooking in the microwave at low power, the oven light can become weaker. This is normal. Steam collects at the door, hot air escapes from the ventilation slots Steam can rise from food during cooking. It usually escapes from the ventilation slots. It occasionally also collects at a cool place, like the oven door. This is normal. The oven was accidentally started without food. Operating the appliance without food is prohibited. This is very dangerous.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Oven cannot be started. (1) The power cable is not inserted correctly. Pull out the plug. Plug it in again after 10 seconds. (2) The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker (have it repaired by the specialists at our company). (3) Problem with the power socket. Test the outlet with other electrical devices. The oven is not heating. (4) The door is not closed correctly. Close the door firmly.

The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin on the product or its packaging means that the appliance is not suitable for disposal in household waste and that it requires separate disposal. You can deposit the old appliance at a suitable municipal collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment free of charge, e.g. a recycling centre. The addresses can be provided by your city or local council.23 Alternatively, you can return small waste electrical appliances with an edge length of up to 25 cm to retailers with a sales area for electrical and electronic appliances of at least 400 m2 or food retailers with a total sales area of at least 800 m2, which offer electrical and electronic appliances at least multiple times a year, free of charge. Larger old appliances can be returned to the retailer from which you purchase a new appliance of the same type, which predominantly performs the same function as the new appliance, free of charge. For the requirements for returning an old appliance in the event of the delivery of a new appliance, please contact your retailer. Where possible, please remove all (rechargeable) batteries as well as all lamps that can be removed non-destructively, before disposing of the product. Please note that you are independently responsible for deleting personal data on the appliance to be discarded.1
