Position the microwave oven at a distance
from other heating sources. For sucient
ventilation there must be a space of at
least 30 cm above the microwave oven.
The microwave oven should not be placed
in a cabinet. This microwave oven is not in-
tended to be placed or used on a working
surface lower than 850 mm above the floor.
PRIOR TO CONNECTING
* Do not remove the microwave inlet pro-
tection plates located on the side of the
oven cavity wall. They prevent grease &
food particles from entering the micro-
wave inlet channels.
* Check that the voltage on the rating
plate corresponds to the voltage in your
home.
* Place the microwave oven on a stable
and even surface that is strong enough
to hold the microwave oven and the
food utensils you put in it. Use care when
handling.
* Ensure that the space underneath, above
and around the microwave oven is emp-
ty to allow for proper airflow.
* Ensure that the appliance is not dam-
aged. Check that the microwave oven
door closes firmly against the door sup-
port and that the internal door seal is not
damaged. Empty the microwave oven
and clean the interior with a soft, damp
cloth.
* Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged mains cord or plug, if it is not

viceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if
you have doubt as to whether the mi-
crowave oven is properly grounded.
Prior to using the microwave for the first
time, it is recommended to remove the
protective lm from the control panel and
the cable tie from the power cord.

PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
This appliance is intended to be used
in household and similar applications
such as:
* Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and
other working environments;
* Farm houses;
* By clients in hotels, motels and other resi-
dential environments;
* Bed and breakfast type environments.
No other use is permitted(e.g.heating
rooms).
* The appliance should not be operated
without food in the microwave oven
when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the ap-
pliance.
* The ventilation openings on the micro-
wave oven must not be covered. Block-
ing the air intake or exhaust vents may
cause damage to the microwave oven
and poor cooking results.
* If you practice operating the microwave
NOTE:

oven, put a glass of water inside. The
water will absorb the microwave ener-
gy and the microwave oven will not be
damaged.
* Do not store or use this appliance out-
doors.
* Do not use this product near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, or near a swim-
ming pool, or similar.
* Do not use the cavity for any storage pur-
poses.
* Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in the
microwave oven.
* Do not use your microwave oven for
deep-frying, because the oil tempera-
ture cannot be controlled.
* Use hot pads or microwave oven mitts to
prevent burns, when touching contain-
ers, microwave oven parts, and pan after
cooking.
LIQUIDS
• e.g. beverages or water. Overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can oc-
cur without evidence of bubbling. This
could result in a sudden boil over of the
hot Liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following
steps should be taken:
* Avoid using straight-sided, containers
with narrow necks.
* Stir the liquid before placing the contain-
er in the microwave oven.
* After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re-
moving the container from the micro-
wave oven.
After heating baby food or liquids in
a baby bottle or in a baby food jar, al-
ways stir and check the temperature
before serving. This will ensure that the
heat is evenly distributed and the risk
of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be-
fore heating!
CAREFUL
ACCESSORIES AND
MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORIES
* There are a number of accessories available
on the market. Before you buy, ensure they
are suitable for microwave use.
* Ensure that the utensils you use are micro-
wave oven proof and allow microwaves to
pass through them before cooking.
* When you put food and accessories in the mi-
crowave oven, ensure that they do not come
in contact with the interior of the microwave
oven.
* This is especially important with accessories
made of metal or metal parts. If accessories
containing metal comes into contact with
the microwave oven interior, while the micro-
wave oven is in operation, sparking can occur
and the microwave oven could be damaged.
* Metallic containers for food and beverage are
not allowed during microwave cooking.
* Always ensure that the turntable is able to
turn freely before starting the oven. If the
turntable isn’t able to turn freely you should
use a smaller vessel or the Stop turntable
function (see Large vessels).

Food Accessory Hint
Turntable Support
Use the Turntable Support under the Glass Turntable.
Never put any other utensils on the Turntable Support. Fit
the Turntable Support in the oven.
Glass Turntable
Use the Glass Turntable with all cooking methods. It col-
lects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise
would stain and soil the interior of the oven. Place the
Glass Turntable on the Turntable Support.
Lid
Middle Container
Bottom

Dual Steamer
Dual steam cook food with sensor controlling. Always
place the Steamer on the Glass Turntable.
High Rack
Low Rack
Use the High Rack when cooking with Grill Combi (Mi-
crowave + Grill ) . Use the Low Rack when cooking with
Forced Air or Combi ( Microwave + Forced Air ).
Crisp Plate
Place the food directly on the Crisp Plate. The Crisp Plate
may be preheated before use (max. 3 min.). Always use
the Glass Turntable as support when using the Crisp Plate.
Do not place any utensils on the Crisp Plate since it will
quickly become very hot and is likely to cause damage to
the utensil.
Crisp Handle
Use the Crisp Handle to remove the hot Crisp Plate from
the oven.
* Failure to maintain the microwave oven
in a clean condition could lead to dete-
rioration of the surface that could ad-
versely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situ-
ation.
* Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive
cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash-
cloths, etc. which can damage the con-
trol panel, and the interior and exterior
microwave oven surfaces. Use a cloth
with a mild detergent or a paper towel
with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray
glass cleaner to a paper towel.
* At regular intervals, especially if spill
overs have occurred, remove the turnta-
ble, the Turntable Support and wipe the
base of the oven clean.
* Use a soft and damp cloth with mild

detergent to clean the interior surfaces,
front and rear of the door and the door
opening.
* Do not use steam cleaning appliances
when cleaning your microwave oven.
* The oven should be cleaned regularly
and any food deposits removed.

CAREFUL CLEANING:
NOTE:
* The Crisp Plate should be cleaned in mild,
detergent water. Heavily soiled areas can
be cleaned with a scouring cloth and a
mild cleanser.
* Always let the Crisp Plate cool off before
cleaning.
* Do not immerse or rinse with water
while the Crisp Plate is hot. Quick cooling
may damage it.
* Do not use steel-wool pads. This will
scratch the surface.
* It might happen that some evaporation/
condensation occurs during cooking
cycles. This is not impacting cooking
results, since does not depend on
quality/craftsmanship issues.

stains, boil a cup of water in the oven
for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
marks.
* Adding some lemon juice to a cup of
water, placing this on the turntable and
boiling for a few minutes can eliminate
odors inside the oven.
* The Grill element does not need clean-
ing since the intense heat will burn off
any splashes, but the ceiling beneath it
may need regular cleaning. This should
be done with a soft and damp cloth with
mild detergent.
* If the Grill is not used regularly, it should
be run for 10 minutes a month to burn
off any splashes, in order to reduce the
risk of fire.
