2  Preventing material damage

2.1 General

ATTENTION!

The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.

Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.

Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.

Do not store food in the cooking compartment.

Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.

Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-
ance door.

2.2 Microwave

Follow these instructions when using the microwave.

ATTENTION!

Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.

Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.

Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may
cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.

Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.

Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.

Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test. 

If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in
immediate succession at a microwave power level that
is too high, the cooking compartment may be dam-
aged.

Leave the appliance to cool down for several
minutes between each use.

Never set a microwave power level that is too high.

Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.

Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.

The microwave feed is damaged by the removal of the
cover.

Never remove the cover of the microwave feed in
the cooking compartment.

Removing the transparent film from the inside of the
door damages the appliance door.

Never remove the transparent film on the inside of
the door.
