damaged or bent and closes firmly against the door support. This is important to ensure that no
microwave energy is emitted during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as
the inside of the oven must be carefully checked.
Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until
it has been repaired by a qualified technician.
Do not z remove the protective film covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable drive unit or
the grey-brown protective cover (3) next to the light on the right of the interior.
Insert the roller ring and the glass turntable into the unit. z
Before the microwave oven is used for the first time, let the appliance heat up on the grill setting z
(without the microwave function activated) for 10 minutes. This will remove the smell typically
encountered when first switching on a grill. A slight odour may be emitted; this is quite normal,
but ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
Note: Never switch the unit on in the microwave function unless the food to be heated or cooked
has been placed inside the oven. Operating the appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.
Important notes
When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-point z
without visible evidence of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme caution when
handling any containers, e.g. when removing them from the oven.
The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the liquid
during the heating process.
Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since z
they may explode even after the microwave heating process has finished.
Caution: z It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed
containers in the unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
The content of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or z
shaken to ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful and dangerous
scalding, always check the temperature before feeding a child.
When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or z
paper, there is a danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or
even ignite if the selected cooking time is excessive. Fat or oil can also ignite. It is therefore
important to constantly supervise the appliance during operation. Highly inflammable liquids
such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any z
flames. Switch the unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
To prevent burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food items from the z
oven, since the utensils and cooking containers heat up not only during use of the grill, but also
during microwave operation.
Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with z
microwave ovens.
Important safety instructions
Caution: certain types of food may catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended when in z
use.
This microwave oven is intended for defrosting, heating and cooking of food only. No z
responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not
complied with.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote- z
