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.
Installation and connection
This appliance is intended for domestic use only.

Please observe the special installation instructions.
The appliance is fitted with a plug and must only be connected
to a properly-installed earthed socket. The fuse protection must
be rated at 10 amperes (L or B circuit breakers). The mains
voltage must correspond to the voltage specified on the rating
plate.
The socket must be installed and the power cable replaced by
a qualified electrician only. If the plug is no longer accessible
following installation, an all-pin disconnecting device must be
present on the installation side, with a contact gap of at least
3 mm.
Multiple plugs, plug bars and extension leads must not be

Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the
operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during cooking,
baking or roasting.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The cooking
compartment is still warm. This may reduce the baking time for
the second cake.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
