Risk of scalding!
▯
When you open the appliance door, hot
steam may escape. Open the appliance door
with care. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of scalding!
▯
Water in a hot cooking compartment may
create hot steam. Never pour water into the
hot cooking compartment.
Risk of scalding!
▯
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 glass
rod/spoon in the container. This will prevent
delayed boiling.
Risk of scalding!
▯
The accessible parts become hot during
operation. Never touch the hot parts. Keep
children at a safe distance.
Risk of injury!
▯
Scratched glass in the appliance door may
develop into a crack. Do not use a glass
scraper, 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.
Risk of injury!
▯
If using the appliance in microwave mode
only, placing cookware and containers made
of metal inside the appliance may cause
sparks when the appliance is operating. This
will damage the appliance. Never use metal
containers when using the appliance in
microwave mode only. Use only microwave-
safe cookware or, alternatively, the
microwave in combination with a type of
heating.
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.
– 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.
– 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.
