IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Do not use your microwave oven for heating
anything in airtight sealed
containers. The pressure increases
and may cause damage when
opening or may explode.
WARNING!
The door seals and the door seal areas must
be regularly inspected for damage. If these
areas are damaged the appliance should not be
operated until it has been repaired by a trained
service technician.
EGGS
Do not use your microwave oven for cooking or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.
PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
LIQUIDS
This appliance is designed for domestic use
only!
The appliance should not be operated without
food in the oven when using microwaves.
Operation in this manner is likely to damage the
appliance.
E.g. beverages or water in your
microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point
can occur without evidence
of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid.
If you practice operating the oven, put a
glass of water inside. The water will absorb the
microwave energy and the oven will not be
damaged.
To prevent this possibility the following steps
should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
Do not use the cavity for any storage
purposes.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container from the oven.
Do not remove the microwave inlet
protection plates located on the side of the
oven cavity wall. They prevent grease & food
particles from entering the microwave inlet
channels.
Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before placing
bag in the oven.
CAREFUL
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for
details. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.
DEEP-FRYING
Do not use your microwave
oven for deep-frying, because
the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
After heating baby food or
liquids in a baby bottle or in
a baby food jar, always stir
and check the temperature
before serving. This will ensure that the heat
is evenly distributed and the risk of scalding
or burns can be avoided.
Use hot pads or oven mitts to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and pan
after cooking.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed
before heating!

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
START PROTECTION /
CHILD LOCK
There are a number of accessories available
on the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.
This automatic safety function is activated
one minute after the oven has returned to
“stand by mode“.
The door must be opened and closed e.g.
putting food into it, before the safety lock is
released.
If you attempt to operate the oven without
putting food into it, the display will show
“door“.
When you put food and accessories in the
microwave oven, ensure that they do not come
in contact with the interior of the oven. This is
especially important with accessories made
of metal or metal parts.
If accessories containing metal comes in
contact with the oven interior, while the oven
is in operation, sparking can occur and the
oven could be damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to
turn freely before starting the oven.
Ensure that the utensils you use are oven
proof and allow microwaves to pass through
them before cooking.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
For stubborn stains, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
marks.
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.
Adding some lemon juice to a cup of water,
placing this on the turntable and boiling for
a few minutes can eliminate odors inside
the oven.
Do not use metal scouring
pads on the inside of the oven
cavity. They will scratch the
surface.
Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty
wash cloths, etc. can damage the control panel,
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.
Use a sponge with a mild detergent or a paper
towel with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass
cleaner to a paper towel.
At regular intervals, especially if spillovers
have occurred, remove the turntable, the
turntable support and wipe the base of the
oven clean.
Do not spray directly on the oven.
This oven is designed to operate with the
turntable in place.
DISHWASHER SAFE:
Do not operate the microwave oven when the
turntable has been removed for cleaning.
Turntable support.
Use a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth
to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of
the door and the door opening.
Glass turntable.
Do not allow grease or food particles to build
up around the door.
