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
glass 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.
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.
–
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").
–
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.

Tips for saving energy
▯
Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the
recipe or in the operating instructions table.
▯
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking
tins when baking. They absorb the heat
particularly well.
▯
It is best to bake several cakes one after the
other. The oven is still warm. This reduces 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.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
