Safety tips
•
Do not use the microwave oven when it is empty.
The only exception is for the initial commissioning
(see chapter "Commissioning").
•
To minimize the risk of fire in the microwave:
When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
always keep an eye on the microwave when it
is in operation, as these materials can catch fire.
•
•
Never insert foreign objects into the ventilation
openings or the door safety locks.
•
When heating drinks in the microwave, bubbling
may be delayed when the drink boils. Therefore,
be careful when handling the container.
To avoid sudden simmering:
Do not use metallic utensils which reflect micro-
waves and lead to sparking. Do not place tins
in the microwave oven.
•
Do not place plastic containers in the microwave
oven immediately after a grill, combi or automatic
menu process. The plastic could melt.
- If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as
long as it is being heated.
•
•
This microwave oven may not be located in areas
with high humidity or where moisture could collect.
- To avoid an unexpected reboiling, leave the
fluid to stand in the microwave oven for
ca. 20 seconds after being warmed up.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in air-
tight containers, as these may explode and
damage the appliance.
•
•
Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages or similar.
Otherwise, they could explode.
•
•
Do not lean on the microwave oven door.
Proceed with caution when warming up fluids.
Use only open containers, so that any air bubbles
produced can escape.
Insufficient cleanliness of the appliance could lead
to the destruction of the upper surfaces, which
themselves influence its useful lifespan and could
possibly also lead to dangerous situations.
•
Should you notice smoke, switch the appliance
off or remove the plug from the socket and
keep the door closed to suffocate any possible
flames.

Programmes in detail
Programme 1: Beverages
This programme runs only with utilisation of micro-
wave power. Subject to the number of portions, the
programme runs for between 1:30 and 3:50 minutes.
• Place the beverage that you wish to heat up on
the Glass plate 3 in the cooking area. If you
wish to place several glasses or cups in the
microwave oven, ensure that the receptacles do
not touch each other.

to continue
Take note:
Notice
If you wish to dispense with turning, simply wait for
the signal tones to finish. The microwave continues
your programme automatically after approx. 30
seconds.
To avoid sudden simmering:
•
If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as
long as it is being heated.
•
To avoid an unexpected reboiling, leave the
fluid to stand in the microwave oven for ca.
20 seconds after being warmed up.
Notice
Should the meal not be properly cooked on completion
of the auto-menu, continue cooking for a couple of
minutes with the Quick start programme. For pro-
grammes that continue with utilisation of the grill
function (Programme numbers 5, 8 and 9), the food
can be cooked further with the grill function. Extended
cooking with the grill function also increases the
browning level of the food.
Programme 2: Noodles
This programme runs only with utilisation of micro-
wave power.
Subject to the weight programmed in, this programme
runs for between 25 and 35 minutes.
• When cooking noodles use a tall container, as
there is a great risk of it boiling over.
Important
• Use as much water as you would in conventional
cooking. The noodles should "swim" in the water.
• First bring the the water to the boil: Set the micro-
wave to its highest performance level (P800)
and then start it. For a liter of water you need
about 10 minutes to bring the water to the boil.
When using the programes with incorporated grill
function, under no circumstances should you use any
form of covering or cookware that is not heat resistant,
as these could melt or ignite themselves!
