Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves
to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain
cold.
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 destroy the glass on the inside of the door.
Ovenware test
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The
following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your
ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
1.
Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to
1 minute.
2.
Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are
generated.
Microwave power settings
Setting the microwave
1.
Set the power selector to the required microwave power
setting.
2.
Set a cooking time using the time switch.
Note:
If the cooking time is less than two minutes, first turn to
a longer time and then immediately back to the desired time.
The set cooking time counts down.
A signal sounds once the time has elapsed.
Notes
■
If you open the appliance door during operation, microwave
operation is interrupted and the set time maintained. When
closed again, operation resumes.
■
In the tables, there are two microwave power settings and
times: set the first microwave power setting and time initially,
and after the signal, set the second.
Changing the cooking time
This can be done at any time. Change the cooking time using
the time switch.
Cancelling operation
Microwave operation is ended when you set the time switch to
0.
Care and cleaning
With careful care and cleaning your microwave oven will retain
its looks and remain good order. We will explain here how you
should care for and clean your appliance correctly.
:
Risk of short circuit!
Never use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean
the oven.
:
Risk of burns!
Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off. Let
the appliance cool down.

Do not immerse the appliance in water or clean under a jet of
water.
Surfaces are different, and damage caused by using the wrong
cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the information in
the table below.

If the oven is very dirty: use oven cleaner, but
only when cooking compartment is cold. It is
best to use a stainless-steel sponge. Do not
use oven spray or other aggressive oven clean-
ers or abrasive materials. Scouring pads, rough
sponges and pan cleaners are also unsuitable.
These items scratch the surface. Allow the inte-
rior surfaces to dry thoroughly.
