Causes of damage
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 irreparably
damage the glass on the inside of the door.
– Water in the cooking compartment when the
cooking compartment is hot: Never pour water into
the cooking compartment when the cooking
compartment is hot. Steam will be created. The
temperature change can cause damage to the glass
floor panel.
– Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
– Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed
cooking compartment for long periods.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can
lead to corrosion.
– Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave
the cooking compartment to cool with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of
adjacent units may be damaged over time.
– Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
– Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold
the appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.
– Operating the microwave without food: Operating
the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch
on the appliance unless there is food in the cooking
compartment. An exception to this rule is a short
crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable
crockery").
– Microwave popcorn: 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. The disc may jump if overloaded.
