to remove ovenware or accessories from
the cooking compartment.
Risk of burns!
■
Airtight packaging may burst when food is
heated. Always observe the instructions
on the packaging. Always use oven gloves
to remove dishes from the cooking
compartment.
Risk of burns!
■
Using the appliance for anything other
than its intended purpose is dangerous.
You are not permitted to use it to dry food
or clothing or to warm slippers, grain or
cereal pillows, sponges, damp cleaning
cloths or the like.
This is because, for instance, overheated
slippers, grain or cereal pillows, sponges
and damp cleaning cloths, etc., may
cause burns to the skin.
Risk of scalding!
■
When you open the appliance door, hot
steam may escape. Open the appliance
door with care. Keep children at a safe
distance.
Risk of scalding!
■
Water in a hot cooking compartment may
create hot steam. Never pour water into
the cooking compartment when the
cooking compartment is hot.
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
vibrates a little, the hot liquid may
suddenly boil over and spatter. When
heating, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed
boiling.
Risk of injury!
■
Scratched glass in the appliance door
may develop into a crack. Do not use a
glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning
aids or detergents.
Risk of injury!
■
Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain
or ceramic ovenware can have small
perforations in the handles or lids. These
perforations conceal a cavity below. Any
moisture that penetrates this cavity could
cause the ovenware to crack. Only use
microwave-safe ovenware.
Risk of injury!
■
If using the appliance in microwave mode
only, placing cookware and containers
made of metal or featuring metal detailing
inside the appliance may cause sparks
when the appliance is operating. This may
damage the appliance. Never use metal
containers when using the appliance in
microwave mode only.
Risk of injury!
■
The glass turntable may splinter.Never
allow hard objects to strike the turntable.
Risk of injury!
■
Cracks or chinks in the glass turntable are
dangerous. Handle the turntable with care.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■ 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").
■ 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.
■ Never use the microwave oven without the turntable.
■ 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.
■ Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance.
They damage the appliance by producing sparks.
■ 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.
■ Condensation in the cooking compartment: Condensation
may appear on the door window, interior walls and floor. This
is normal and does not adversely affect microwave operation.
To prevent corrosion, wipe off the condensation every time
you cook.
