Risk of burns!ʋHeated food gives off heat. The ovenware 
may become hot. Always use oven gloves 
to remove ovenware or accessories from 
the cooking compartment.
Risk of burns!
ʋAirtight packaging may burst when food is 
heated. Always observe the instructions on 
the packaging. Always use oven gloves to 
remove dishes from the cooking 
compartment.
Warning – Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a 
liquid is heated. This means that the liquid 
reaches boiling temperature without the usual 
steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if 
the container only vibrates a little, the hot 
liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. 
When heating, always place a spoon in the 
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Warning – Risk of injury!
Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain or 
ceramic ovenware can have small perforations 
in the handles or lids. These perforations 
conceal a cavity below. Any moisture that 
penetrates this cavity could cause the 
ovenware to crack. Only use microwave-safe 
ovenware.
Warning – Risk of electric shock!
The appliance is a high-voltage appliance. 
Never remove the casing.
Warning – Risk of serious damage to 
health!
ʋThe surface of the appliance may become 
damaged if it is not cleaned properly. 
Microwave energy may escape. Clean the 
appliance on a regular basis, and remove 
any food residue immediately. Always keep 
the cooking compartment, door seal, door 
and door stop clean. 
Risk of serious damage to health!
ʋMicrowave energy may escape if the 
cooking compartment door or the door seal 
is damaged. Never use the appliance if the 
cooking compartment door, the door seal 
or the plastic door frame is damaged. Call 
the after-sales service.
Risk of serious damage to health!

General information
Caution!
ʋAccessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on 
the cooking compartment floor: do not place 
accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do 
not cover the cooking compartment floor with any 
sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place 
ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a 
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will 
cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting 
times will no longer be correct and the enamel will 
be damaged.
ʋAluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking 
compartment must not come into contact with the 
door glass. This could cause permanent 
discolouration of the door glass.
ʋWater in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour 
water into the cooking compartment when it is hot. 
This will cause steam. The temperature change can 
cause damage to the enamel.
ʋMoisture in the cooking compartment: Over an 
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking 
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the 
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep 
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for 
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the 
cooking compartment.
ʋCooling with the appliance door open: Following 
operation at high temperatures, only allow the 
cooking compartment to cool down with the door 
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. 
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of 
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the 
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst 
the oven was operating.
ʋFruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, 
do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit 
juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that 
cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper 
universal pan.
ʋExtremely dirty 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. 
ʋAppliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not 
sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything 
on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on 
the appliance door.
ʋInserting accessories: depending on the appliance 
model, accessories can scratch the door panel 
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the 
accessories into the cooking compartment as far as 
they will go.
ʋCarrying 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.
