English
Instruction for use
Using Your Oven
In the following, please find all important instructions for the use of the oven.
As this manual applies to several microwave ovens, some specifications may differ from model to model.
1 Potential dangers
Caution!
Microwave ovens may only be used to warm up or heat up food or drinks. Never use your microwave oven for other purposes such as drying textiles or other objects, let alone live animals. This may cause acute fire(s) or dangerous hazards.
- If you install or start up your microwave oven without first reading the instructions for use:
■ Misuse may damage your health and endanger your life.
■ Mistakes made in installation and connection may potentially damage the appliance itself and your kitchen furniture
2. Over boiling
When heated in a microwave oven, liquids may overheat beyond their boiling point without you being able to see it (boiling causes non visible bubbling).
Caution: By merely touching a serving dish as you take it out, steam bubbles may unexpectedly and suddenly form and the liquid in the serving dish may unexpectedly boil over. (Danger to get severely scalded)
before removing the serving dish, observe if the boiling liquid bubbles up as usual.
In mixed food with different moisture levels, the microwaves heat up the moister ingredients far quicker.
■ Baby food heated up in glasses or bottles may only be handed to your child after having checked the temperature of the food or drink.
As different ingredients may be warmed up at varying degrees, the dish/bottle containing baby food may feel only lukewarm, whereas the food inside is far more heated up. For this reason, always shake or stir the baby food evenly so that the heat is distributed.
3. Suitable cookware
Always ensure that your dishes and pots are compatible with microwave ovens.
Cookware made of the following materials is best suited:
■ Fire-resistant glass or ceramics
■ Heat-resistant and microwave suited plastic
■ Heat-resistant porcelain / stoneware
The following materials may be used only for brief operation (e.g. warming up) as long as it is under constant supervision in case of fire and the manufacturer explicitly states that the materials are suitable for microwaves.

3 Installing The Oven:
(FIG. A)
a) Unpack the appliance
b) Remove all objects from the inside of the oven.
c) Carefully remove all plastic films and stickers from:
the cabinet
- the door
the Turntable axle - drive shaft
Failure to carefully remove plastic films and stickers may lead to a fire hazard.
d) Clean the oven interior with a damp cloth.
Do not use sharp cleansers or scouring agents!
e) Unpack the turntable (not all models are equipped with) and its undercarriage
English
Instruction for use
f) Place the undercarriage in the circular track on the oven interior floor
g) Lay the turntable onto the undercarriage. By gently turning it, the guide fits into the drive shaft.
■ Place the appliance on an even and non-skid surface.
It must be stable enough to easily support the appliance even if the oven contains goods.

English
Instruction for use
If you cannot reach the plug, keep the oven door open (also when cleaning the outside).
Only in this way you can prevent the appliance from being switched on when the function keys or switches are inadvertently activated.
1. Cleaning the Cabinet
Caution! Under no circumstances should water or a cleaning fluid get into the inside of the oven. This is particularly important when cleaning around the air vents or rear wall.
Otherwise serious accidents may ensue due to electric shock and the appliance may be damaged.
■ Only use clean water with just a little washing-up liquid for cleaning. Do not under any circumstances use sharp objects or scouring agent. Lastly wipe the cabinet dry with a soft cloth.
■ Carefully remove food particles and dirt deposits between the door and cabinet, so that the door always shuts properly and tightly.
Warning!
Under no circumstances should you continue to use the appliance if you have detected any damage on the door seal or on the adjoining surfaces. The same applies to damage detected on the door itself or door hinges. Otherwise hazardous microwave radiation may escape from these locations. This kind of damage must be repaired by a trained customer service engineer, before you can use your appliance again.
2. Cleaning the inside of the oven
Never pour water into the oven interior. Water may enter the interior of the oven through the air vents and damage the appliance. Moreover serious accidents can ensue due to electric shock.
■ Clean the oven interior thoroughly. Particles of fat and food may overheat and potentially cause fire hazard. Moreover food and dirt deposits inside the oven affect the performance of the microwave oven.
■ Use only clean water with a little washing-up liquid to clean the interior of the oven. Do not under any circumstances use sharp objects or acids. Lastly wipe the cooking chamber dry with soft cloth.
3. Cleaning the Turntable
■ Thoroughly clean the turntable (if equipped with) after every use to prevent smoke from developing due to food particles.
CAUTION! The turntable might still be hot.
■ Likewise clean the turntable undercarriage and the oven interior regularly, so that it always works perfectly.
9 Customer Support Service
Check on the enclosed guarantee card for the customer support service of your appliance.
If your appliance documentation does not mention the responsible customer support service, please contact your dealer.
If your appliance does not work despite observance and compliance with all tips and guidelines described in these instructions for use, then please do the following check "What to do when…", before you call the customer support service:
English
Instruction for use
When operating the microwave oven for the first time, make sure that:
The power cable of the oven is not led underneath the oven base, which does get hot, and does not come into contact with sharp edges or hot objects.
■ The power cable does not extend into the other kitchen work areas.
■ The power cable does not droop from the worktop and nobody can get caught in it.
■ The power cable does not come into contact with moisture(e.g. when wiping the worktop or rinsing).
■ The power plug is easily accessible and can quickly be unplugged in case of danger.
■ The power plug is always firmly inserted in the socket and loose contact cannot cause any fire hazards.
■ Slack power plugs or sockets must be immediately repaired by a skilled electrician.
■ No curtains are nearby.
6 Using the Microwave Oven
- Before switching on the appliance, you should familiarise yourself with the following guidelines:
■ Never operate the oven when it is empty.
Otherwise it could get damaged.
To prevent the oven from being operated inadvertently without contents, always leave a glass of water in the cavity when the appliance is out of use.
■ Never heat liquids or food(s) in sealed dishes
Within sealed dishes overpressure can quickly develop and thus cause the dish to burst. This leads to potentially serious accidents.
■ The following items are also liable to burst due to developing overpressure: eggs in shells, nuts in shells or any food(s) vacuum packed in plastic or foil.
Therefore, always pierce raw eggs on two sides and remove the foil or at least cut it open on one whole side, before you put it into the oven. Remove nutshells.
■ Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, make sure that it tightly adheres to the cookware or food and a gap of at least 2.5 cm is left between the aluminium foil and the cooking compartment walls.
Otherwise sparking may occur inside the oven and the appliance could consequently get damaged.
In order to ensure that the seal is constantly protected adequately against hazardous escaping microwaves, always make sure that:
a) No objects (dishcloths, parts of food packaging etc.) are caught between the door and cabinet
b) Door seal or door hinges are not damaged or soiled (also see section on "Cleaning and Care")
Do not touch - Scalding hazard
During operation your microwave oven may present scalding hazards in the following components:
■ on the door - glass panel
■ on the lateral air vents
■ on the underside of the oven
- Prevention of smoke or fire in the microwave oven
English
Instruction for use
If food(s) overheats, smoke may develop or smouldering may start inside the oven. Food(s) with a high sugar or fat content are particularly prone to this hazard.
The microwave oven is therefore not suitable for:
■ frying
■ making popcorn
■ melting sugar or fats
■ cooking dried beans etc.
■ When preparing food(s) with uncertain compositions, you should keep an eye on the appliance until the end of the set cooking time.
2.1 How to react when smoke develops inside the oven
Should smoke or fire develop inadvertently inside the oven, this problem can usually be easily overcome by taking the following correct steps:
■ Whatever happens, keep the oven door closed.
■ Fisrt thing, switch off the appliance immediately
■ Then switch off the power supply by unplugging the appliance or activating the fuse safety switch.
■ Open the oven to take out the burnt food only when you can no longer detect any smoke.
CAUTION ELECTRIC SHOCK
Under no circumstances should you attempt to extinguish smouldering or burning food inside the oven with water. In this case serious accidents may be caused by electric shock.
7 How to operate your microwave oven (FIG. B)
- The controls offer user-friendly operation so that you can quickly familiarise yourself with your appliance and can optimise your use of it after studying the aforementioned and following guidelines and regulations in detail.
Operating tasks are thus restricted to settings:
■ desired cooking mode
■ desired cooking time
- You can pause operation at any time by:
■ Pressing the door opening key (not all models are equipped with) respectively opening the oven door
The timer will stop automatically and resumes its operation as soon as the oven door is firmly closed again or: Resetting the timer to "0"
- Setting the operating mode (power level)
Set the respective function symbol (FIG.B) according to the required power level.
Each level corresponds e.g. to around 150 W if the appliance has a total capacity of 750 W or to around 160 W if the appliance has a total capacity of 800 W
The operating mode switch can also be set between the levels, if your cooking recipe recommends a lower or higher wattage.
- Setting the cooking time Timer (FIG. B)
6
English
Instruction for use
By turning the timer clockwise you can set the cooking time up to max. 30 Min, respectively 60 Min. (depends on Mod./Type)
Please make sure you do not turn the timer over its limit.
Caution! The cooking process will immediately start as soon as you move the timer from position "0" and the oven door is shut. Therefore, leave the door open and only close it when you have correctly entered all settings.
If you wish to set the cooking time to less than the max. time, turn the timer first to max. 30 / 60 min. and then back to the desired cooking time. It will thus work more accurately.
In most models a warning beeper will sound when the timer has elapsed.
For cooking times longer than 30 / 60 min. you can simply set the timer again when the first time period has elapsed.
5. Defrosting
This function facilitates the thawing of frozen food.
■ First use the operating mode switch to select the mode (Defrost)
■ Now set the timer according to the weight of the food you wish to defrost.
It takes around 15 - 20 min. to defrost every 100 g of frozen food.
6. Operating Modes (power levels)
The operating steps (power levels) are shown on the oven front panel with symbols. For this, please note the description of the function of each symbol (Fig. B)
7. Explanation of international terms used for operating modes (power levels)
1 - Med-low = Medium low cooking level
2 - LOW/WARM = Low (keep warm)
3 - DEFROST = Defrost
4 - MEDIUM = Medium cooking level
5 - MED. HIGH = Medium high cooking level
6 - HIGH = High cooking level
Depending on the oven model some or all of these operating functions will be available.
Excellent cookbooks on microwave cooking are commercially available.
Such cookbooks are highly recommended, if you have not yet had any experience with microwave ovens.
