Important notes

• Caution: Certain types of food may tend to catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
• This microwave oven is intended for the defrosting, heating and cooking of food only. Caution: Any attempt to dry food or clothing, to heat up warming pads, house slippers, sponges, wet cleaning cloths etc. may cause injuries, combustion or fire.
• No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

• Use only suitable kitchen utensils. Do not use any metal containers when heating up food or beverages using the microwave function. The appliance must not be used with any grill rack other than the one supplied. For detailed information, please refer to section Always use suitable kitchen utensils.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

• This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

• Children must not be permitted to play with the appliance.

- Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are older than 8 years and are supervised.

- The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.

- To avoid any risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with liquids or immerse it in a liquid.

- Warning! If the appliance is operated with the grill or combination function, children may only use the appliance under adult supervision due to the temperatures that occur.

- When using the grill or combination function, particular care must be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the microwave.

- Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket:

• before cleaning,
• in case of any malfunction,
• after each use.

- When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.

Caution: The exterior surfaces of the appliance may become hot during operation. There is also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots, with a consequent risk of scalding.

- Allow the appliance to cool down sufficiently before transporting it.

- Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or come into contact with any heat sources.

- Do not let the power cord hang free, and keep it away from any hot parts.

- If the appliance is not kept clean and food residues are not removed, this can lead to a deterioration of the surface quality, which in turn can affect the service life of the appliance and possibly pose a danger to the user. After each use, clean the door seals, the cooking chamber with the glass bottom, and the adjacent parts with a damp cloth. More detailed information on cleaning and user maintenance can be found in the “Cleaning” section.

• The appliance must not be cleaned using a steam cleaner.
• This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as the
• staff kitchens in shops, offices and other similar working environments,
• agricultural working environments,
• by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar accommodation,
• in bed-and breakfast type environments.
• Warning! Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.
• When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-point without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven.
• Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.
• Warning! It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
• The contents of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
• When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil are also inflammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during operation. Highly volatile or inflammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
• Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Use suitable pot holders when removing the food from the cooking space. The dishes not only get hot during the grill function, but also with the microwave function since the hot food also heats the dishes.
• Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable

for use with microwave ovens.

Before first use

• After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage.
• Warning! Ensure that the door, including the inspection window, door seals and locks, are not damaged or bent and that it closes firmly against the support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked.

Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.

• Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. The nameplate must not be removed. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
• Do not remove the rubber stoppers on the grill rack! Insert the grill rack so that the round spacer with rubber stopper is pointing to the rear of the cooking space.
• Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – such materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.
• Before the appliance is used for the first time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be thoroughly cleaned as described in the section Cleaning.
• Note: Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed inside the oven.
  Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.
• When using the appliance for the first time, heat it up on the grill setting (without microwave!) For 10 minutes. A slight odor can arise, so ensure sufficient ventilation through open windows or balcony doors.

ISM Device

This product is an ISM device of Group 2 Class B. Group 2 includes all ISM devices (industrial, scientific, medical), as well as spark-erosion devices, in which radio frequency energy is generated and/or is utilised in the form of electromagnetic radiation for processing materials. Class B are devices for household use or devices on power supply networks that feed residential buildings.

The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011)

Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food temperature.

Always use suitable kitchen utensils

• Do not place the food for cooking directly on the glass bottom, but use suitable dishes.
• Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven could also cause sparks, resulting in possible damage to the unit.
• As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances. Should the use of aluminium foil be recommend in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven.
• Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects are also not suitable. Always make sure that no parts of the cooking containers used are hollow (e.g. the handles). Porous materials may have absorbed water during cleaning and are again not suitable. Cooking containers or utensils made of ‘Melamine’ plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable.

Microwave function

- Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain are well suitable for use in microwave appliances.

• Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant.
  • Cooking bags etc. should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.
• Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at most kitchenware dealers.

Grill function

- All types of heat-resistant crockery and containers that are also suitable for a conventional oven can be used for the grill function.

- Plastic dishes must not be used when grilling!

Microwave and grill combinations

- In combination operation, the microwave and grill are alternately switched on. Therefore, the dishes must be microwaveable and heat-resistant.

- Plastic dishes cannot be used due to the high temperatures.

• The dishes must not contain any metal.

Grill rack

• The grill rack can only be used when the grill functions.
• Warning! Do not remove the rubber stoppers on the grill rack!
• Insert the grill rack so that the round spacer with rubber stopper is pointing to the rear of the cooking space.
• Insert the grill rack at the desired height.
• The food can be placed directly on the grill rack. Do not place the grill rack on the glass bottom.
