General risks when cooking food Health hazard!

Improper use of this appliance can lead to damage to health.

■ Clean the appliance regularly and remove any traces of food leftovers immediately.
■ Particularly with poultry and dishes containing fresh egg, and when warming up meals, ensure that the food is fully cooked through to kill off all pathogens (e.g. salmonella).

Acrylamide may be carcinogenic. Acrylamide is produced when starch is exposed to excessive heat, e.g. in potatoes (fries, chips), biscuits, toast, bread etc.

• Keep cooking times as short as possible.
  ■ Only brown the food slightly, do not allow it to brown too much.
  ■ Cut larger-sized fries and then bake at maximum of 180 °C.
  ■ Brushing baked goods with egg whites or egg yolks helps to reduce the formation of acrylamide (only in convection mode).

Defrosting meat, poultry or fish in the oven can cause dangerous microorganisms (e.g. salmonella) to multiply rapidly. This increases the risk of food poisoning.

■ Do not defrost meat and fish in the appliance.
■ Only use the defrosting function to defrost vegetables, pre-cooked food, etc.
■ Take the frozen food out of the freezer ahead of time and let it defrost in

the refrigerator. The fluid from the frozen food must be able to properly drain, otherwise harmful microorganisms can form.

The water that melts during defrosting can contain harmful bacteria, especially with meat and poultry.

■ Avoid any physical contact.
■ Pour defrost water away. Do not use it for any other purpose.
■ Thoroughly clean the crockery you have used.

Risks in microwave and microwave-combi mode

WARNING

Microwave hazard!

The cover in the cooking chamber serves to protect the magnetron, which emits the microwaves.

■ Never remove the cover inside the cooking chamber!

Microwaves can be emitted if the cooking chamber door is insufficiently sealed when closed. Under such circumstances, the appliance may not be used.

■ If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
■ It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

■ Never place a mixture of water and oil or fat into the appliance. This can explode.
■ Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
■ Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. Prick holes in tomatoes, sausages, aubergines or similar food with a closed skin before cooking to prevent bursting.

CAUTION

Risk of scalding!

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed and eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. The liquid then reaches boiling temperature without any outward visible sign of boiling. Even a small vibration can cause the liquid to squirt out suddenly, e.g. when being taken out of the appliance.

■ To avoid a boiling delay, place a plastic or glass spoon in the container. The spoon must always maintain a minimum distance of 2 cm from the inner walls.
■ Do not use tall, thin containers with a narrow top section.
■ Please ensure you stir the food before eating and after half the cooking time has elapsed.
■ Please wait a short moment after heating up; carefully tip the dish and stir before removing the container from the cooking chamber.

Risk of burns!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to burns. Accessible parts, accessories and dishes become very hot during operation.

■ Do not touch the parts of the housing!
■ Food is sometimes heated unevenly. The containers should not get as hot as the food inside. Please therefore ensure to check the temperature of any food thoroughly and carefully, especially for children.

■ Before heating up baby food, please remove the screw cap and suction teat from the feed bottle.
■ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Information about microwaves

What are microwaves?

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves like those for radio and television; as with radio and TV waves, they cannot be seen or felt.

Microwaves

– are reflected by all metals,
– can penetrate glass, porcelain, plastic and paper,
– are absorbed by foodstuffs.

What effect do microwaves have on foodstuffs?

• The microwaves penetrate foodstuffs to a depth of approximately 3 cm.
• The water, fat and sugar molecules are heated up (dishes with a high water content are heated up most quickly).
• This heat then slowly penetrates the entire dish and leads to the dish being defrosted, heated and cooked.
  – Due to the fact that the individual elements of the dish are heated unevenly, it is important to stir or turn the dish over to ensure that it is cooked through evenly.
• Heating the liquid can cause so-called "delayed boiling". The liquid then reaches boiling temperature without any outward visible sign of boiling. Even a small vibration can cause the liquid to squirt out suddenly, e.g. when being taken out of the appliance.
• The cooking chamber and the air inside it are not heated – the food container becomes warm primarily due to the heat of the food.
• Every dish requires a certain amount of energy for cooking or defrosting – a good rule of thumb is “high power, low time” or “low power, high time”.

How does a microwave oven work?

– A microwave generator, the so-called magnetron, generates the microwaves and disperses them into the cooking chamber.
- The cooking chamber walls and inner screen reflect microwaves, preventing them from being emitted out of the cooking chamber.
– The turntable ensures that the microwaves are distributed evenly to the food.
- The microwave power can be set to several levels.

Suitable dishware

WARNING

Risk of explosion!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in damage or explosions.

■ Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Containers that become hotter than the food inside them are not suitable for microwave cooking. Do not use such containers.
■ Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. Metal in the cooking chamber may cause sparks during operation! This can damage the viewing window or the entire appliance! Do not use metal pots, metal pans and metal lids or dishware with metal parts such as gold edges under any circumstances.
■ Do not use any aluminium foil, due to the fact that this can also cause sparks when coming into contact with the cooking chamber walls.

NOTICE

Risk of damage to property!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to property damage.

■ Do not use any containers made of porcelain, ceramic or plastic and any protective fi lms that are not resistant to high heat in grill or microwave-combi mode!

■ Do not use baking paper or similar!

The appliance offers different heating modes: microwave mode, grill mode, microwave-combi mode (see from page EN-21). Always select suitable dishware for the different heating modes. In each case observe the information provided by the manufacturer. Unsuitable crockery can lead to the appliance becoming damaged.

For all heating modes

Crockery/accessories made from microwave-safe and fireproof material is suitable for all modes. This includes:

– fire-resistant glass, ceramic, porcelain,
– fire and frost resistant glass ceramics,
– highly heat-resistant plastic (e.g. oven bag).

For microwave and defrost mode

For microwave mode only and for defrosting, the following can also be used:

• microwaveable plastics,
• baking parchment.

For grill and convection modes

All materials which are also used in a conventional oven are suitable for use with these modes.

The grill rack which is supplied is also suitable.

For the automatic programmes

• Automatic programmes A1 to A7 run in microwave mode only. The crockery/accessories must be microwave-safe.
• Programmes A8 to A10 run with microwave, grill and convection. The crockery/accessories must be suitable for all heating modes.

In order to find out whether the dishware is microwaveable, you can conduct the following test:

1. Fill the container for testing with 250 ml cold water and place it in the cooking chamber.
2. Press the ▶ button (17) twice.

The appliance will start with full microwave power for 1 minute.

- If the crockery becomes hot or if sparks start to form, immediately open the cooking chamber door to stop the cooking process: This dishware is not suitable!

- If the dish remains cold or only lukewarm, it may be used in microwave mode.

Size and shape

• Flat, wide containers are more suitable than tall, narrow ones. "Flat" dishes can cook through more evenly.
  – Round or oval shaped containers are more suitable than square or rectangular containers. There is a potential for localised overheating in the corners.

Using the accessories

The turntable

- Use the turntable (3) every time you use the appliance.

Practical tips

The correct cooking temperature

Given that microwaves react with varying intensity to water, fat and sugar, the cooking time depends significantly on the composition of the dish.

• Dishes with a high fat or sugar content (doughnuts, puddings, fruitcakes) cook through more quickly and reach higher temperatures faster than other dishes. Make absolutely sure to follow recommended cooking times to avoid burning the food and damaging the appliance.
  – Dishes that have a high water content (fish, vegetables, sauces) cook faster than “dry” dishes.
• “Dry” dishes (rice, grain products, dried beans) cook very slowly. Please add a little water to these before cooking.

The correct quantity

The larger the quantity to be prepared, the longer the cooking time. If, for example, a potato takes 4 minutes, then two potatoes will take 7 minutes.

Rule of thumb: Twice the quantity requires approximately twice the amount of time.

• Small food items cook more quickly than large food items. And food items of equal size cook through more evenly than food items of different sizes. If possible, cut all food into pieces of roughly the same size. Remember to do this when freezing!
• When defrosting, size and form play a key role. Small, flat food portions defrost faster and more evenly than larger, thicker food portions. During the defrosting process, separate portions that have already begun to thaw, as exposed pieces defrost faster.

Order of dishes

To achieve an even result, special attention must be paid to arranging the food correctly for cooking:

• Arrange food with several equally sized pieces (potatoes, meatballs, hamburgers) in a circle in the container and leave the middle empty.
• For pieces of different sizes, place the small or thin pieces in the middle.
• For irregularly shaped pieces (e.g. fish) place the thinner or flatter end towards the middle.
  – Lay thin slices of meat on top of each other or criss-cross them.
• Place thicker slices and pieces of meat (joints, sausages etc.) close together.
• Heat any meat juices or sauces in a separate container. Only fill to 23 full.

Piercing and scoring

Excess pressure can be caused in many dishes when heating them through. It is therefore recommended to pierce or score certain dishes, in order to prevent them from bursting.

• Do not microwave eggs in their shells – unless using special containers which are commercially available.
• Pierce food with peels or skins (potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, aubergines, egg yolks) to prevent it from bursting open.
• Score the skin of whole fish to prevent it from tearing open.

Stir and turn

WARNING

Risk of burns!

Food is sometimes heated up unevenly in the microwave. The containers should not get as hot as the food inside.

■ Please therefore ensure to check the temperature of any food thoroughly and carefully, especially for children.
■ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

• Baby food in particular must be stirred or agitated carefully to avoid burns. It is essential to check the temperature by tasting the food.
• With poultry and dishes containing fresh egg, and when warming up meals, make absolutely sure that the food is fully cooked through to kill off all pathogens (such as salmonella).
• Stirring and turning the food after half the cooking time is particularly important because the microwave oven does not heat up food evenly.

Care and maintenance

Regular cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures that the quality of the dishes remains consistent and guarantees the full service life of the appliance.

WARNING

Health hazard!

Improper use of this appliance can lead to damage to health.

■ The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

Waste prevention, free return and disposal

Waste prevention

According to the provisions of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures always take priority over waste management.

For electrical and electronic devices, waste prevention measures include extending the lifespan of defective devices through repair and reselling used working appliances instead of disposing of them.

Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.

More information can be found in the brochure "Waste Prevention Programme – of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal States".

Free return of old electrical appliances

Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance of the same type with essentially the same function, consumers may return an old electrical appliance to a distributor obliged to take back old appliances, at no extra cost for the consumers. This option also exists for deliveries made to a private household. For distance selling, the option of having old electrical equipment collected for free applies only in the case of purchase of new electrical equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers), screens and display devices with a screen surface > 100 cm ^2 , and large devices with at least one of its external dimensions measuring more than 50 cm.

In addition, consumers may return up to three old electrical appliances of the same type to a distributor's collection point for free, without having to purchase a new electrical appliance. In this case, however, the old appliances' external dimensions may not exceed 25 cm.

Disposal

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

Every consumer is therefore required by law to dispose of old electrical appliances at an authorised collection or return point. They will thus be made available for environmentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.

Don't forget to erase data!

If necessary, each consumer is responsible for erasing personal data from electrical and electronic equipment.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs

If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not encased by an old electrical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that can be removed from an old electrical appliance without being destroyed, must be removed and disposed of separately before you return the appliance.

This symbol means that batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other household waste.

Consumers are required by law to bring all batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point operated by their communal authority or borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed

of in an environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.

Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.

There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the poles of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.

Before disposing of the appliance, batteries and rechargeable batteries which are not permanently built into the appliance must be removed and disposed of separately.

Please only dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!

If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.
