WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
Unsuitable cookware may crack. Porcelain or
ceramic cookware can have small perfora-
tions in the handles and lid. These perfora-
tions conceal a cavity below. If moisture pen-
etrates this cavity, it could cause the cook-
ware to crack.
▶
Only use microwave-safe cookware.
Using cookware and containers made of
metal or that feature metal detailing in mi-
crowave-only mode may cause sparks during
operation. This will damage the appliance.
▶
Never use metal containers when operating
the appliance in microwave-only mode.
▶
Either use only microwave-safe cookware
or use the microwave in combination with a
type of heating.
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
The appliance uses a high voltage.

Always keep the cooking compartment,
door seal, door and door stop clean.
Microwave energy may escape if the cooking
compartment door or the door seal is dam-
aged.

Preventing material damage
Follow these instructions to prevent material damage to
your appliance, accessories or other objects in your kit-
chen.
2.1 General
Follow these instructions when using the appliance.
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 the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not close
properly when the appliance is in operation. This may
damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶
Keep the seal clean at all times.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
▶
Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
▶
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
▶
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
partment.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break
it. The door handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance.
▶
Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door
handle.
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.
When preparing microwave popcorn at a high mi-
crowave power, the door pane may crack due to over-
loading.
▶
Never set the microwave power too high.
▶
Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts.
▶
Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
