13.7 Electrical connection

▲GEFAHR DANGER

▶ Risk of electrocution
▶ Touching internal components may cause serious, severe and fatal injuries.
▶ Do not disassemble the appliance.
▶ Improper grounding can cause electrical shocks. Do not use a power outlet if it is not properly installed and grounded.

In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the following instructions must be observed for the electrical connection:

• Before connecting the device, compare the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the rating plate with those of your electrical network. This data must agree in order that no damages occur in the device. If in doubt, ask your qualified electrician.
• The electrical outlet must be protected by a 16A safety cut-out switch, separately from other electricity consumers.
• The connection between the device and the electrical network may employ a 3 meter long (max.) extension cable with a cross-section of 1.5 mm ^2 . The use of multiple plugs or gangs is prohibited because of the danger of fire that is involved with this.
• Make sure that the power cable is undamaged and has not been installed under the oven or over hot or sharp surfaces.
• This appliance must be electrically grounded. In case of a short circuit grounding will protect against electric shocks because the electrical current is diverted through the grounding lead. The appliance is fitted with an appropriate cable with a ground lead and a grounded safety plug. The plug must be inserted into a properly installed and grounded outlet.

- The electrical safety of the device is only guaranteed if the device is connected to a properly installed protective conductor system. Operations using an electrical outlet without a protective conductor are prohibited. If in doubt, have the house installation checked over by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be made responsible for damages that are caused by a missing or damaged protective conductor.

13.7.1 Extension cables

• The power cable is kept intentionally short to reduce the risk of tangling or presenting a tripping hazard.
• If a longer cable or an extension cable is required:
• 1) The power rating of the cable or extension cable must be no less than the rating of the appliance.
  • 2) The extension cable must a three-lead (grounded) cable.
• 3) Arrange the long cable so that it does not hang down from table or counter tops where it can be pulled by children and that it does not present a tripping hazard.

15 Operation and Handing

This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to operating the device.

Observe the following notices to avoid dangers and damages:

▲WARNUNG 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 extend 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^ ) 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.

◆ “Grill and combination programmes” mode

The “Grill” (G1) mode is suitable for roasting and gratinating food.

The combination programmes are suitable for simultaneous microwaving, grilling and convection cooking.

The following combination programmes are available:

Display Combination programme
Microwave Grill Convection
C-1 X X
C-2 X X
C-3 X X
C-4 X X X

◆ “Convection” mode

In this operating mode, the hot air in the cooking chamber circulates in order to warm the food quickly and evenly.

◆ „Multi-Stage Cooking“ Mode

This mode allows you to program up to 2 automatic sequences. It is possible to set the sequence and duration of defrosting, microwave cooking and grilling or hot air mode.

◆ “Automatic cooking programme” mode

This mode allows you to select the cooking program from 10 different menus.

◆ Automatic defrost

This operating mode is suitable for defrosting frozen food. You can select whether to defrost by weight or time.

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:

16 Cleaning and Maintenance

This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to cleaning and maintaining the device. Please observe the notices to prevent damages due to cleaning the device incorrectly and to ensure trouble-free operation.

16.1 Safety information

▲VORSICHT 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.

▲VORSICHT Attention

▶ 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.
▶ Because of the hazards involved in repair or maintenance work for which the radiation safety cover must be removed, any such work may only be carried out by a skilled and qualified specialist.
