General risks when cooking food
Health hazard!
Improper use of this appliance can lead
to damage to health.
■
Clean the appliance regularly and re-
move any traces of food leftovers im-
mediately.
■
Particularly with poultry and dishes
containing fresh egg, and when war-
ming up meals, ensure that the food
is fully cooked through to kill off all
pathogens (e.g. salmonella).
Acrylamide may be carcinogenic.
Acrylamide is produced when starch
is exposed to excessive heat, e.g. in
potatoes (fries, chips), biscuits, toast,
bread etc.
■
Keep cooking times as short as pos-
sible.
■
Only brown the food slightly, do not
allow it to brown too much.
■
Cut larger-sized fries and then bake
at maximum of 180 °C.
Defrosting meat, poultry or fi sh in the
oven can cause dangerous microor-
ganisms (e.g. salmonella) to multiply
rapidly. This increases the risk of food
poisoning.
■
Do not defrost meat, poultry and fi sh
in the oven.
■
Only use the defrosting function to
defrost vegetables, pre-cooked food,
etc.
■
Take the frozen food out of the free-
zer ahead of time and let it defrost
in the refrigerator. The fl uid from the
frozen food must be able to properly
drain, otherwise harmful microorga-
nisms can form.
The water that melts during defrosting
can contain harmful bacteria, especial-
ly with meat and poultry.
Do not defrost meat, poultry and fi sh in
oven mode, only in microwave mode.
■
Avoid any physical contact.
■
Pour defrost water away. Do not use
it for any other purpose.
■
Thoroughly clean the crockery you
have used.
Risks in microwave and
microwave-combi mode
WARNING
Microwave hazard!
The cover in the cooking chamber ser-
ves to protect the magnetron, which
emits the microwaves.
■
Never remove the cover inside the
cooking chamber!
A door that fails to close adequately
can cause microwave radiation to esca-
pe. Under such circumstances, the de-
vice may not be used.
■
If the door or door seals are dama-
ged, the oven must not be operated
until it has been repaired by a com-
petent person.
■
It is hazardous for anyone other than
a competent person to carry out any
service or repair operation that invol-
ves the removal of a cover which gi-
ves protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
