CAUTION!
• Creation of sparks: Metal . e. g. a spoon in a
microwave. Sparks can irreparably damage the
glass on the inside of the door.
• Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never
pour water into the hot cooking compartment.
This will cause steam. The temperature change
can cause damage.
• 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 due to residual heat from the elements.
• Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly
during operation. The fronts of adjacent units
may 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”).
• 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.
• 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.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any
food deposits removed since they may explode,
even after microwave heating has ended.
• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
can adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• Only use the temperature probe recommended
for this oven.
