Operation
General information on programming the unit
To ensure optimum results, this microwave oven uses state-of-the-art electronics.
-
When any control button is pressed, the correct input is acknowledged by one beep
signal.
-
While a programme sequence is running, the current setting can be called up by pressing
the appropriate key. E.g., if during the microwave programme the key is pressed, the
display will show the selected power setting.
-
A programme can be interrupted or restarted by pressing the key.
General operating sequence
-
Place the food to be heated in a suitable container. Place the container onto the turntable
in the oven.
- When food is placed in the microwave, it should be covered to prevent it from drying
out. Glass or plastic covers especially designed for use with microwave appliances are
available at most kitchenware dealers.
- When using the grill, hot-air or any of the combination functions, do not cover the
food to be cooked. The grill rack may be put directly on the glass turntable with the
food itself on the grill rack.
-
Close the door and set the desired programme.
-
As the programme is started, the turntable starts to rotate. During operation, the interior
light remains on.
-
If, during operation, the door is opened or the key is pressed (e.g. to stir or to turn the
food in order to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed), the timer and
programme functions are automatically suspended. The programme will automatically
resume only after the door is closed again and the key is pressed.
-
Press twice to interrupt the programme.
-
5 beeps indicate that the pre-programmed period has elapsed; at the same time, the
interior lighting switches off.
-
Open the door and remove the container with the food.
-
In order to achieve an even heat distribution through the food, the container should be
set aside for several minutes.
-
The cooking times generally depend on several factors.
- The microwaves penetrate the surface of the food. For larger pieces of food, a longer
cooking time is therefore needed than for the same amount of food if cut into pieces.
The food should also be evenly distributed on the plate.
- To ensure that any germs in the food are safely destroyed, the food needs to be
exposed to high temperatures for a sufficiently long period.
- As a basic rule:
half the amount - half the time recommended (for the full amount).
double the amount - almost double the time recommended.

Once the unit has been connected to the power supply, the display shows ‘0:00’ and an
