General risks when cooking food
WARNING
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 acrylamides (only in hot air mode).
Defrosting meat, poultry or fish in the appliance 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 modes
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!
An appliance door that fails to close adequately can cause microwave radiation to escape. 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.
■ Pay particular attention to the cleanliness of the door seals and door seal faces along with all adjacent parts.
Danger 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.
■ 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 outwardly 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 also often do 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 shall 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. As with radio and TV, microwaves are also invisible and intangible.
Microwaves
– are reflected by all metals,
– can penetrate glass, porcelain, plastic and paper,
– are absorbed by food.
What effect do microwaves have on food?
– The microwaves penetrate food 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.
- The cooking compartment and the air in this compartment are not heated. The food container is primarily heated by the hot food itself.
- When heating liquids, a so-called "boiling delay" can occur. The liquid then reaches boiling temperature without any outwardly 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.
- Every dish requires a certain amount of energy for cooking or defrosting. A good rule of thumb is "high power, short time" or "low power, long 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 (7) ensures that the microwaves are distributed evenly to the food.
- The microwave's power can be set to various levels.
– The appliance switches off
– after the selected time has elapsed,
- when opening the cooking chamber door,
- by pressing the "Stop/Delete" button (17) twice.
Applications
Your microwave multifunction appliance offers you different cooking methods. To help you choose the right function for the desired food, here are some examples of use.
Microwave
The microwave without additional functions is well suited for the preparation of:
- Stews, soups, sauces
- Meat without crusts
- Steamed fish
- Vegetables
– Side dishes (rice, boiled potatoes, some pasta) - Hot drinks
– Defrosting small portions.
Grill
The grill is located on the cooking chamber ceiling. It is used to quickly brown dishes and cook them au gratin.
- Food to be grilled with a short cooking time should be grilled with this function. With the combination function (microwave + grill), this dish would be cooked before it becomes sufficiently browned.
- Use the grill for the following: steaks, cutlets, sausages or to brown sandwiches or gratins.
Microwave combi mode:
Microwave + grill
Using the multifunction mode of the microwave and grill, you can cook quickly and also achieve an attractive crust. This shortens preparation times enormously.
The combination of grill and microwave is well suited for:
- Gratins, casseroles
- Fish
– Poultry (chicken, duck, turkey) - Baked potatoes
- Baked toasts
– gratinated soups.
– Thicker pieces of meat with a higher fat content
Convectionmode
In convection mode, a fan ensures even heat distribution. Convection mode is perfect for baking cakes, dehydrating and toasting sandwiches, etc.
The benefits are:
– Preheating is almost redundant.
– The temperature can be set lower.
- Combi mode: Microwave + convection
- Using the microwave and grill combi mode, you can cook and bake quickly at the same time. This mode also shortens preparation times enormously.
– The combination of microwave and convection is well suited for:
– Cakes, bread, rolls
– Gratins, casseroles
- Fish
- Baked toasts
– gratinated soups.
Suitable dishware
CAUTION
Danger 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.
The supplied grill rack must not be inside the cooking chamber in microwave and microwave combi modes.
■ Do not use any aluminium foil, due to the fact that this can also cause sparks.
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 has a range of operating modes: Microwave, grill, microwave combi mode and convection. Always choose the appropriate crockery for the different cooking modes. Please also ensure to observe the manufacturer's guidelines. Unsuitable crockery can lead to the appliance becoming damaged.
For microwave mode
Use only microwave-suitable dishware. This includes:
– fire-resistant glass, ceramic, porcelain
– fire- and frost-resistant glass ceramic
– highly heat-resistant and microwaveable plastic (e.g. baking films)
To find out whether your cookware is suitable for microwave use, you can carry out the following test:
- Place the empty container in the cooking chamber and switch on the microwave oven at full power for a maximum of 20–30 seconds. If the dishware becomes hot or if sparks form, it is not suitable.
For grill and convection modes
Any materials used when cooking in a conventional oven can also be used for these cooking modes.
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.
Practical tips
The correct cooking time
Given that microwaves react with varying intensity to water, fat and sugar, the cooking time depends significantly on the composition of the dish.
- Dishes which are high in fat or sugar (doughnuts, puddings, fruit pies) cook more quickly – and reach higher temperatures – than other dishes, as fat and sugar absorb microwave energy well.
Make sure to observe the recommended cooking times; otherwise, the food will burn and damage 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 greater the quantity for preparation, 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 think about 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, as these pieces will be the last to cook.
- For irregularly shaped pieces (e.g. fish), place the thin 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 meat juices and sauces in a separate container; only fill this 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, 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 also often do 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 shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
• Always stir baby food in particular very thoroughly to avoid burns.
- It is essential to check the temperature by tasting the food.
- With poultry, with 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).
- Stir the food after half the cooking time has elapsed and turn it, as food does not heat through evenly in the microwave.
Operation
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!
An appliance door that fails to close adequately can cause microwave radiation to escape. 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.
■ Pay particular attention to the cleanliness of the door seals and door seal faces along with all adjacent parts.
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can lead to fire and damage to property.
■ Do not operate the appliance with an external timer or a separate remote control system.
If a fire starts, keep the cooking chamber door closed, immediately pull the mains plug out of the socket or switch off the automatic circuit breakers and/or unscrew the fuses.
CAUTION
Risk of scalding!
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed and eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. This may cause hot liquid to suddenly spray out, for example when removing the container from the microwave.
■ To avoid a boiling delay, place a plastic or glass spoon in the container.
■ Make sure that the spoon is always at least 2 cm away from the interior walls of the microwave.

Gettingstarted
The correct storage location
The appliance should not be positioned directly next to a refrigerator or deep freezer. The heat emitted from the appliance would cause unnecessarily higher energy consumption by the fridge or freezer.
There must be a minimum spacing of 2 m from radios, televisions, etc., to ensure that the reception is not distorted.
The base upon which the appliance should be positioned must be level, sufficiently stable and heat resistant.
When selecting a location for the appliance, please ensure to choose a place away from heat, steam or high air humidity. The appliance may not be used outdoors.
Please ensure that no highly flammable materials are located in the vicinity of the appliance.
The socket must be near the appliance and easily accessible so that the plug can be quickly pulled out in the event of any malfunction.
In order to ensure sufficient air circulation, the following minimum lateral and vertical distances must be complied with:
At the top: 30 cm
At the back: 0 cm
To the left: 20 cm
To the right: 20 cm
As measured from the floor, the installation height must be at least 85 cm.
Inserting the turntable
Use the turntable (7) every time you use the appliance.
The turntable (7) rotates during operation to ensure uniform heating.
When using the grill rack (6), the turntable also acts as a dripping pan.
- Position the roller ring (8) centrally into the recess in the cooking chamber floor.
- Place the turntable (7) centrally on the roller ring. Turn the turntable a little as required, so that it slots into the turntable drive (3).
- Always place the cooking container on the turntable. This ensures that the microwaves are distributed evenly, and that any liquid overflow from the food into the appliance is avoided.
Cleaning before use
The appliance should be cleaned before first use so that, for example, packaging residue will not negatively affect the taste of the food.

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 operat-
ed 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.
