1.9 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 inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably
damage the glass 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 operation. 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 lead to overloading. Never switch on the
appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. 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 cannot 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 appliance. 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 a󰀨ect the life of the appliance and possibly
result in a hazardous situation.

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.
4 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.
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.

5 CLEANING AND CARE
5.1 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 appliance cool down.
Risk of serious damage to health!
Microwave energy may escape if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Never use the appliance
if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. Contact the after-sales service.
NOTE:
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 the 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.
Cleaning agents
To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in
the table. Do not use
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance door.
metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal,

5.2 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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.
Part Recommendations
Oven cavity
Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick
to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use
harsh deter-gents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked–on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add
the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup
measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven
cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Wire rack
Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing
powder or soap-filled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the
dishwasher.
Metal turntable tray
Remove metal turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and
tray. Wash the metal turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Ceramic tray Clean with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Door seal Wipe with damp cloth.
Door glass
Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Apply Fantastik® or Formula 409®
to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning
agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.
Steam can accu-mulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
Painted surfaces
Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean
sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel
wool pads and oven cleaners.
Stainless steel sur-faces/exterior

6.2 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 t o 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 ma x. 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.
6.3 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 time 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 end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish 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.
