Causes of damage
Caution!
Creation of sparks: Metal  e.g. a spoon in a glass  must be
kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the i
nside of the
door. Sparks could irreparably damage the gla
ss on the inside
of the door.
Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into
the hot cooking compartment. This will cause steam. The
temperature change can cause damage.
Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking
compartment for long periods.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to
corrosion.
Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the cooking
compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not trap
anything
in the appliance door. Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the
fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over time.
Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door
will no longer close properly during ope
ration. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance
without food in the cooking compartment may le
ad to
overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is food
in the cooking co
mpartment. An exception to this rule is a short
crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").
Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects on:
Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance door. Do
not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance door.
Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the appliance
by the door handle. The door handle ca
nnot support the weight
of the appliance and could break.
Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too high.
Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the
popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.
Liquid that has boiled over must not be allowed to run through
the turntable drive into the interior of the app
liance. Monitor the
cooking process. Choose a shorter cooking time initially, and
increase the cooking time as required.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits
removed since they may explode, even after microwave heating
has ended.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

The microwave
Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. The microwave
can be used solo, i.e. on its own, or in combination with a different
type of heating. You will find information about ovenware and how
to set the microwave.
Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass, glass
ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic. These
materials allow microwaves to pass through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to
transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use
ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer
guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves to
pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.
Caution!
Creation of sparks: metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be kept
at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of the door.
Ovenware test
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The
following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your
ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to 1 minute.
2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are
generated.

Notes
Preparing food
Use food that has been frozen at -18 °C and stored in portion-
sized quantities that are as thin as possible.
Take the food to be defrosted out of all packaging and weigh it.
You need to know the weight to set the programme.
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain
off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under no
circumstances use it for other purpo
ses or allow it to come into
contact with other foods.
Ovenware
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g. a china or
glass plate, but do not cover.
When defrosting chicken and chicken portions (d 01), an audible
signal will sound on two occasions to indicate that the food
should be turned.
Resting time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional 10 to
30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. Large
pieces
of meat require a longer standing time than smaller pieces. Flat
pieces of meat and items made from minced meat should be
separated from each other be
fore leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even
though thick pieces of meat may still
be frozen in the middle.
The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.

Sensor cooking
You can select two sensor cooking modes. Sensor
cooking allows you to cook many of your favorite foods
without selecting cooking times and power levels. The
microwave oven automatically determines the required
cooking time for each food item.
For best results for cooking by sensor, follow these
recommendations:
Food cooked with the sensor system should start from
normal storage temperature.
Turntable tray, ceramic tray and outside of container
should be dry.
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, wax paper or lid.
Do not open the door or touch Clear/Off key during
sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven
beeps once and the remaining cooking time will
appear in the display. At this time you can open the
door to stir, turn or rearrange the food.

Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain its
looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
Risk of electric shock.!
Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use
any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let the

Notes
Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic
and metal.
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are caused
by reflections made by th
e oven light.
Unpleasant odours, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be
removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of
water.
Place a spoon into the container as well, to prevent
delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum
microwave power.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs
Which foods are affected?
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products that
are heated to high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips,
toast, bread rolls, bread, fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread,
cookies).
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
General Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too
dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
Baking biscuits
Oven chips
Max. 200 °C in Top/bottom heating or max. 180 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode. Max.
190° C in Top/bottom heating or max. 170 °C in 3D hot air or hot air mode. Egg white
and egg yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide. Distribute thinly and evenly over the
baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.

Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the
operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are
cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is
still warm. This reduces the baking ti
me for the second cake.
You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the en
d of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to fin
ish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance complies with European Directive 2002/
96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). The directive gives a framework for the
collection and recycling of old appliances, which is valid
across the EU.

Heating food
Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the
usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container
only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and
spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Convection
Preheat the oven before adding foods. Once the oven is
preheated, place the food in the oven quickly to minimize
loss of heat. Place pans of food on the wire rack with the
recess facing down.

Cooking eggs in your microwave
Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from
bursting.
Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked.
Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such
as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about
¼ cup of water.
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,
etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the
turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through cooking.
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli
with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the
dish and the tips toward the center.
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish
with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet
potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their
skin pricked in several locations before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the
required standing time. For example, a baked potato
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish
of peas may be served immediately.

Cooking seafood in your microwave
Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack
in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish
until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam
fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides
less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it
for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking
longer.
Cleaning and Maintenance
9 WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease
has solidified before attempting to clean any part of
the appliance.
Cleaning Guide
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to
keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of
food and grease build–up.
Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out
with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or
bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
Never operate the microwave oven without food in the
oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza,
Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can
damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may
wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven
when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
