Frequently Asked Questions - 10032640 Klarstein

Can I use metal containers in the microwave?

No, metal containers or utensils can cause arcing and damage the oven. Use only microwave-safe materials such as glass, ceramic, or plastic labeled 'Microwave Safe'.

Why does the oven not start?

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. If it still doesn't start, check the fuse or circuit breaker. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

How do I clean the microwave easily?

Place half a lemon in a bowl with 300 ml water and microwave on high (100% power) for 10 minutes. Then wipe the interior with a soft dry cloth.

What is the correct clearance for installation?

Leave at least 30 cm clearance above the oven and 20 cm on the sides. The rear should be against a wall. Minimum installation height is 85 cm.

Can I run the microwave empty?

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

If a long cord set or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• Note, that the total ampere ratings of the equipment plugged in should not exceed the ampere rating of the cord.
• The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

CAUTION

Personal Injury Hazard 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.

See the instructions on „Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven." There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below:
