5 Basics and basic settings

This chapter provides you with important information and notes on the operation and basic settings of the appliance.

5.1 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.
• 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°C) and if the time used is sufficiently long enough (> 10 min).

• 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.

5.2 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:

5.3 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 NOTE

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.
Do not use any aluminium foil when using the microwave.

7 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.

7.1 Safetyinformation

ATTENTION

Please observe the safety instructions, before cleaning your device

The device must be cleaned and food residues must be removed at regular intervals. If the device is not maintained in a clean condition, this will have a detrimental effect on the service life of the device and can also result in a dangerous condition in the device as well as in the growth of fungus and bacteria.
Switch the device 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 hob 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.
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 immerse the appliance in water or other liquids, and do not put it in the dishwasher.
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not scrape off stubborn dirt with hard items.

7.2Cleaning

◆ Cooking chamber and inside of door

WARNING

▶ Always remove grease residues in the device, as these residues can otherwise ignite.

• Keep the cooking chamber of the oven clean. Wipe off any spattered or spilt food from the walls of the cooking chamber with a damp cloth. If the oven is excessively dirty, you can use a mild cleaning agent.
• Wipe the door, window and the door gaskets with a damp cloth, to remove any spatters and spilt food. Residues on the door gasket can mean that the door does not close properly any more, which will cause the microwaves to escape.
• Wipe off any steam, which has settled on the oven door, with a soft cloth. This may be the case if the device is used in an extremely damp environment and is normal.
• Smells can be removed from the oven by mixing a cup of water with the juice and the skin of a lemon, pouring this into a deep microwave-proof bowl and allowing it to cook in Microwave mode for five minutes. Then, dry off the oven thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• After cleaning the interior space, leave the oven door open until the interior of the device is completely dry.

◆ Front of device and operating panel

Clean the front of the device and the operating panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Please bear in mind that the operating panel does not get wet. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.

PLEASE NOTE

Leave the oven door open to prevent the device from being re-started accidentally.

◆ Exterior housing

Clean the exterior surfaces of the device with a damp cloth. Make sure that the control panel does not get wet.

9 Disposal of the Old Device

Old electric and electronic devices frequently still contain valuable materials. However, they also contain damaging substances, which were necessary for their functionality and safety. If these were put in the non-recyclable waste or were handled incorrectly, they could be detrimental to human health and the environment. Therefore, do not put your old device into the non-recyclable waste under any circumstances.

PLEASE NOTE

Utilise the collection point, established in your town, to return and recycle old electric and electronic devices. If necessary, contact your town hall, local refuse collection service or your dealer for information.
▶ Ensure that your old device is stored safely away from children until it is taken away.

9.1 Disposal of the packaging

The packaging protects the device against damages during transit. The packaging materials are selected in accordance with environmentally compatible and recycling-related points of view and can therefore be recycled. Returning the packaging back to the material loop saves raw materials and reduces the quantities of accumulated waste. Take any packaging materials that are no long red to "Green Dot" recycling collection points for disposal.
