Caution:
z
The use of the microwave oven by children without supervision must not be permitted,
unless specific and clear instructions have been given prior to use, enabling the child not only to
operate the microwave oven in a safe manner, but also to understand the dangers resulting from
improper use or non-compliance with the instructions.
Warning:
z
because of the high temperatures that occur during operation in the combination
functions, children must not use the appliance unless they are properly supervised by an adult.
Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket:
z
before cleaning,
-
in case of any malfunction.

Caution:
z
The exterior surfaces of the appliance become hot during operation. There is
also a danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots: Danger of scalding.
Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to get near to hot cooking plates or naked flames.
z
Do not let the power cord hang free and keep it away from any hot parts.
It is important that the appliance is thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals and that any food
z
residues are removed. Excessive wear may otherwise be caused to the exposed surfaces and the
life expectancy of the appliance considerably reduced. In addition, its safety and proper operation
may also be affected.
This microwave oven is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications.

Caution:
z
Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave radiation
protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This includes the
replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit must not be opened,
except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our
customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.
The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2)
Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water
molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water
content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside
the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food
temperature.
Always use suitable kitchen utensils
Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking
z
container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable.
Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not
z
reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven could also cause sparks, resulting in possible
damage to the unit.
As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some
z
food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore
also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances.
Should the use of aluminium foil be recommend in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly
wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a
minimum distance of 2.5 cm
