Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil and do
not place baking trays or other cookware on the oven
bottom. Aluminium foil would prevent air circulation
in the oven, hinder the cooking process, and ruin the
enamel coating.
Oven door become very hot duringoperation. A third
glass is installed for extra protection, reducing the
temperature of the outside surface (only with some
models).
Oven door hinges may be damaged when under

The microwave oven is intended for heating food and
beverages. Drying food or clothing and heating of hot
packs or pads, slippers, sponges, moist cloths etc. may
result in injury, ignition, or fire.
Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from the
oven. Some pots, pans, or trays absorb the heat of foods
and therefore become very hot.
Make sure to only use the cookware that is suitable for
use in a microwave oven. Do not use cookware made of
steel or cookware with golden or sliver rims.
Do not leave any accessories or utensils in your
oven when it is off. To avoid damage, o not switch on an
empty oven.
Do not use receptacles made of porcelain, ceramics,
or clay, if there are pores in the material or if the inside
is not glazed. Once heated up, the moisture that would
penetrate these pores could cause cracking. Only use
the cookware intended for use in a microwave oven.
Always read and observe the instructions for heating in a
microwave oven, specified on the food packaging.
Be careful when heating alcohol-containing food, as a
combustible mixture of alcohol and air may form inside
the oven. Open the door carefully.
When using the microwave or the combined
microwave and convection functions, use of metallic
cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal clips/fasteners
for frozen food is not recommended. After heating,
stir the food or leave it to rest until the heat is evenly
distributed.

WIRE GUIDES
Wire guides allow preparation of the food on four levels
(please note that the levels/guides are counted from the
bottom up).
Guides 3 and 4 are intended for grilling, and guide 1 is
used with microwave systems when food is prepared in
a glass baking dish.
OVEN DOOR SWITCH
The switches deactivate oven heating, the fan, and the
microwaves when the oven door is opened during the
cooking process. When the door is closed, the switches
turn the heaters and microwaves back on.
COOLING FAN
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the
housing and the appliance control panel.
EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN
After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues
to operate for a short while in order to provide additional
cooling for the oven. (Extended cooling fan operation
depends on the temperature in the center of the oven.)
OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking with all oven
systems and for cooking with microwaves. It can also be
used as a serving tray.
Never use the grid, the shallow baking sheet or the
deep baking tray or any other metal part or accessory
when operating a system with microwaves!
The GRID is used for grilling or as support for a pan,
baking tray or baking dish with the food.
There is a safety latch on the grid. Therefore, the grid
has to be lifted slightly at the front when pulling it out from
the oven.
The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for baking
pastry and cakes.
The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for roasting meat and
baking moist pastry. It can also be used as a drip tray.
Never place the deep baking tray in the first guide during
the cooking process, except when grilling food or using the
roasting spit and you are only using the deep tray as a drip
tray.
As baking accessories heat up, their form may
change. This does not affect their functionality and
their original form will be restored when they cool
down.
The grid or the tray should always be inserted into the
groove between the two wire profiles.
Never use the grid, the shallow baking sheet or the
deep baking tray or any other metal part or accessory
when operating a system with microwaves!

MICROWAVE FUNCTION
Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting, and
defrosting of food. They allow quick and efficient cooking
without changing the colour or shape of the food.
Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting, and
defrosting of food. They allow quick and efficient cooking
without changing the colour or shape of the food.

Their behaviour:
–They are reflected by metals.
–They travel through all other materials.
–They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules
begin to move rapidly, thereby generating heat.The
microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 centimeters
deep into the food. If the food is thicker, the core of the
food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional
cooking.
Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven
is empty.
