2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
▶
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
▶
Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
▶
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over
time.
▶
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
▶
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
door.
▶
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
If cookware has not been pushed in fully, it may
scratch the door pane when the door is closed.
▶
Always slide cookware fully into the cooking com-
partment.
2.2 Microwave
Follow these instructions when using the microwave.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may
cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.
▶
Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.
Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.
▶
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in
immediate succession at a microwave power level that
is too high, the cooking compartment may be dam-
aged.

minutes between each use.
▶
Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶
Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶
Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
