• Clean the microwave oven thoroughly after warming
up greasy foods, especially if they were not covered.
Allow the appliance to cool down completely
before cleaning it. Residues such as fat or grease
cannot be allowed to collect on the heating
elements of the grill. They could possibly ignite.
• Do not thaw frozen fat or oil in the microwave oven.
The fat or oil could ignite.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate
remote control system to operate the appliance.
Important! Appliance Damage!
• Do not use the microwave oven when it is empty.
The only exception is for the initial commissioning
(see chapter "Commissioning").
• Never insert foreign objects into the ventilation
openings or the door safety locks.
• Do not use metallic utensils which reflect micro-
waves and lead to sparking. Do not place tins
in the microwave oven.
• Do not place plastic containers in the microwave
oven immediately after a grill, combi or automatic
menu process. The plastic could melt.
• This microwave oven may not be located in areas
with high humidity or where moisture could collect.
• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in air-
tight containers, as these may explode and
damage the appliance.
• Do not lean on the microwave oven door.
• Insufficient cleanliness of the appliance could lead
to the destruction of the upper surfaces, which
themselves influence its useful lifespan and could
possibly also lead to dangerous situations.
Danger
• Never submerse the appliance, the power cable
or the plug in water or other fluids.
• Keep the power cable away from hot surfaces.
Do not lead it in front of the microwave oven door.
The heat could damage the cable.
• Never pour fluids into the ventilation openings
or the safety locks. Should fluids ever enter them,
immediately switch the microwave oven off and
remove the plug from the mains power socket.
Arrange for the appliance to be checked by
qualified specialists.
Safety tips
• To minimize the risk of fire in the microwave:
When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
always keep an eye on the microwave when it
is in operation, as these materials can catch fire.
• When heating drinks in the microwave, bubbling
may be delayed when the drink boils. Therefore,
be careful when handling the container.
To avoid sudden simmering:
- If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as
long as it is being heated.
- To avoid an unexpected reboiling, leave the
fluid to stand in the microwave oven for
ca. 20 seconds after being warmed up.
• Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages or similar.
Otherwise, they could explode.
• Proceed with caution when warming up fluids.
Use only open containers, so that any air bubbles
produced can escape.
• Should you notice smoke, switch the appliance
off or remove the plug from the socket and
keep the door closed to suffocate any possible
flames.
