Display elements
Here you can find a short explanation of the various display elements.

Temperature display
The temperature display shows the heating progress.

After starting operation, the red line in the lower area of the display shows the heating up progress of the interior temperature. The line gradually turns red as the appliance heats up. When the line turns completely red, the appliance has reached the set temperature. When using the grill, the heating line turns red immediately.
When using the microwave, there is no temperature display.
Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed may differ slightly from the actual temperature inside the cooking compartment.
Night mode
To save energy, the control panel brightness is automatically reduced to a lower level between 10 p.m. and 5.59 a.m.
Here you can find an overview of the types of heating. You can find recommendations on using the types of heating.

The features of the cooking compartment make your appliance easier to use.
Interior lighting
When you open the appliance door, the light in the cooking compartment switches on. If the appliance door remains open for longer than 15 minutes, the light switches off again.
In most operating modes, the interior lighting switches on as soon as operation starts. The interior lighting switches off again when operation stops.
You can specify whether you want the interior lighting to switch on during operation in the → "Basic settings", Page 17.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes through the ventilation slots above the appliance door.
ATTENTION!
Covering the ventilation slots will cause the appliance to overheat.
To cool the cooking compartment more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards. If the appliance is running in microwave operation, the appliance remains cool, but the cooling fan still switches on. The cooling fan may continue to run even when microwave operation has ended.
Condensation
Condensation can occur in the cooking compartment and on the appliance door when cooking. Condensation is normal and does not adversely affect appliance operation. Wipe away the condensation after cooking.
Appliance door
If you open the appliance door during operation, operation stops. If the appliance door is closed, you can continue operation with

Here you can find an overview of the different microwave power settings and when to use them.
Microwave output in watts | Maximum cooking time | Use |
90 W | 1:30 hours | Defrosting delicate foods. |
180 W | 1:30 hours | Defrosting food and continued cooking. |
360 W | 1:30 hours | Cooking meat and fish or heating delicate foods. |
600 W | 1:30 hours | Heating and cooking food. |
900 W | 30 minutes | Heating liquids. The maximum power setting is not designed for heating food. |
Default settings
The appliance suggests a cooking time for each microwave power setting. You can accept this value or change it in the relevant area.
To heat food evenly and avoid damaging your appliance, it is important to use the right cookware and accessories.
Read the manufacturer's instructions before using any cookware in the microwave. If in doubt, carry out a cookware test. Testing cookware for microwave suitability → Page 13
Microwave-safe
Cookware and accessories | Reason |
Cookware made from heat-resistant, microwave- safe material:
| Microwaves do not damage heat resistant material. |
Accessories supplied: Wire rack | The wire rack supplied has been designed specifically for the appliance and is therefore suitable for microwave use. |
Metal cutlery | You can use metal cutlery, e.g. place a spoon in a glass, to prevent delayed boiling. Note: Metal may create sparks, which could damage the cooking compartment and the inner door pane. Metal must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. |
Not microwave-safe
Cookware and accessories | Reason |
Metal cookware | Microwaves cannot pass through metal. The food is barely heated or not heated at all. |
Cookware with gold or sil- | Microwaves can damage |
ver decoration | gold and silver decoration. Only use this kind of cookware if the manufacturer guarantees that it is microwave-safe. |
Microwave-safe in MicroCombi mode
In MicroCombi mode, a microwave output of up to 600 W watts can be added to a type of heating. This means that metal dishes can be used in MicroCombi mode.
Cookware and accessories | Reason |
Accessories supplied | The accessories supplied, e.g. the wire rack, do not create sparks in MicroCombi mode. |
Metal baking tins | Cakes will brown both on top and on the bottom, as baking tins made of metal conduct heat more efficiently. Note: Metal may create sparks, which could damage the cooking compartment and the inner door pane. Metal must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door. |
Test cookware to see whether it is suitable for microwave use. Testing cookware is the only time the appliance should be operated in microwave mode without any food inside.
