the microwave oven is operated, do not place it in the
direct vicinity of other electronic devices.
•
Remove any protective foils that may be adhered to
the housing.
•
The foils on the inside of the door must not be
removed!
•
Insert the mains plug into a properly installed 230 V,
50 Hz power socket.
Using the Device
What you should know about microwave operation:
•
Your device works with microwave radiation, which
heats up water particles in food in a very short time.
There is no heat radiation and therefore hardly any
browning.
•
Only food should be heated up with this device.
•
Do not fry food in the microwave as hot oil may dama-
ge the oven and lead to skin burns.
•
Only 1-2 portions should be heated up at the same
time. Otherwise the microwave will become less
effi cient.
•
In order to interrupt the cooking process, turned the
timer to „0“.
•
Microwaves provide their full energy levels immediate-
ly. Pre-heating is therefore not necessary.
•
Never operate the microwave function when the oven
is empty.
•
The microwave oven does not replace your traditional
cooker. It is used mainly for:
– defrosting deep-frozen food
– rapid warming/heating of food or drinks
– cooking
meals
Information on Grilling and Combined Operation
•
As heat radiation is used during grilling and combined
operation, please use only heat-resistant tableware.
•
When food is only being grilled, metal or aluminium
tableware may also be used -but not during combined
or microwave operation.
•
Do not place anything on top of the housing as this
becomes hot. Always leave the ventilation slits unco-
vered.
•
Please use the grilling grid to move the food to be
cooked nearer to the heating element.
Suitable Microwave Tableware
•
The ideal material for use in a microwave is transpa-
rent and allows the microwave radiation to heat the
food evenly.
•
Microwaves are not able to penetrate metal, so that
no metal vessels or plates should be used.
•
Do not use any paper dishes made of recycled ma-
terial as these may contain small amounts of metal,
which may result in sparks or fi res.
•
Round/oval dishes and plates are more suitable than
rectangular ones as the food in the corners may
overcook.
•
Strips of thin aluminium foil can protect food against
overheating, but please note that there must be a
clear distance of approximately 3 cm between the
aluminium foil and the internal wall.

Operation
1. Place the food to be heated in a suitable piece of
tableware.
2. Open the door and place the vessel in the middle of
the glass plate. Then close the door. (For safety re-
asons the oven only operates when the door is tightly
closed.)
3. Adjust the microwave power as required:

4. Set the required cooking time with the timer.
The cooking time depends on the quantity and
constituency of the contents of the oven. With a little
practice you will soon learn to estimate the cooking
time.
Please note:
preparation of food in a microwave oven
is very much faster than in a conventional cooker. Set
the cooking time to a low level if you are not sure and
continue cooking again if necessary.
Once the cooking time is set the oven switches itself
on. The light inside the oven goes on. If you would like
to set times shorter than 3 minutes, turn the button
past the 10 minute mark and then back. The timer will
then run more accurately.
