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, or 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.
Causes of damage
Caution!
– 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.
– Water in the cooking compartment when the
cooking compartment is hot: Never pour water
into the cooking compartment when the cooking
compartment is hot. Steam will be created. The
temperature change can cause damage to the
ceramic floor panel.
– Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by
producing sparks.
– Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed
cooking compartment for long periods. This will
damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can
lead to corrosion.
– 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.
– 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.
– Using the appliance door for standing on or
placing objects on: Do not stand or place
anything on the open appliance door. Do not
place ovenware or accessories on the appliance
door.
– Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold
the appliance by the door handle. The door
handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance and could break.
– 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").
– Never use the enamel baking tray when cooking
with microwave operation. It will result in a
technical fault.
– 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.
