FIRST USE
Before first use
• Open the door, remove the packaging and check the microwave for damage.
• Do not use the microwave if it is damaged, but contact your supplier.
• Remove the protective film from the casing.
• Clean the oven interior and accessories with a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaner
or strong-smelling cleaning products.
Installation
• Put the microwave on a solid, flat surface.
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the microwave. Keep a minimum of
20 cm of space free at the top. Keep a minimum of 10 cm of space free at the back and
a minimum of 5 cm of space free at the sides.
• Do not cover the ventilation openings.
• More information about fitting the microwave is in the chapter ‘Fitting’.
Microwaves
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The energy makes it possible to cook
or warm up a dish without affecting the form or colour.
Cooking principle
• The microwaves the microwave generates are spread evenly by a distribution system.
This cooks the dish evenly.
• The food absorbs the microwaves to a depth of approximately 2.5 cm. Cooking then
continues, because the heat is spread in the dish.
• The cooking times vary and depend on the dish you use and the properties of the food:
▷Quantity and density
▷Moisture content
▷Starting temperature (whether or not it is chilled)

EN 8
FIRST USE
Please note!
The dish is cooked from the inside out by means of heat distribution. The cooking
continues even when you take the dish from the oven. Standing times in recipes and
in this book should therefore be adhered to, in order to ensure:
• Even heating into the middle of the dish.
• Equal temperatures in all parts of the dish.
Guidelines for microwave cookware
Cookware you use for the microwave function should not block the microwaves. Metals such
as stainless steel, aluminium and copper reflect microwaves. For that reason, do not use
metal cookware. Cookware that is designated as microwave safe can be used safely. For more
information about suitable cookware, consult the following guidelines.
Recommended
Careful
Unsafe
Cookware Microwave-safe Remarks
Aluminium foil Can be used in small quantities to prevent
certain parts of the food from overcooking.
Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the
oven wall or if too much foil is used.
Porcelain and earthenware Porcelain, earthenware, glazed earthenware
and ivory porcelain are usually suitable, unless
they have a metal edge.
Disposable tableware
made from polyester
or cardboard
Frozen meals are sometimes packaged
in disposable tableware.

FIRST USE

EN 10
Please note!
Warning!
Heating liquids in the microwave can result in delayed boiling. This means that the
liquid may start to boil furiously after it is removed from the microwave, with the risk
of scalding. You can offset the delayed boiling effect by placing a plastic or glass spoon
in the liquid prior to heating it in the microwave.
Warning!
Take care with baby food:
• Shake or stir the content of babies’ bottles or pots of baby food after heating.
• Check the temperature of the food carefully prior to consumption to prevent
scalding injuries.
Warning!
Cutlery and tableware may become hot after using the microwave.
Using the microwave
1. Connect the microwave to the mains.
▷Ensure that the time dial is on ‘0’.
2. Press the door release button to open the door.
3. Place the dish in the microwave and close the door.
4. Turn the control dial to set the desired power.
5. Turn the time dial to set the desired cooking time.
▷If you want to set a time of less than 2 minutes, first turn the dial past 2 minutes
and then turn back to the desired time.
6. The microwave switches on directly after setting the time.
▷You can open the door while the microwave is operating; the microwave will then stop.

▷If you remove the food from the microwave before the set time has expired, make sure
that the time dial is returned to the ‘0’ position.
OPERATION

EN 11
Warming up and cooking
• The microwave always heats with the same intensity. The more you place in the microwave,
the longer the cooking time.
• Flat, level dishes heat up more quickly than narrow, tall dishes.
• Covering dishes with microwave film or a fitting lid prevents spattering, reduces cooking
time and helps retain moisture levels. After cooking, remove the foil or lid carefully. Please
note! The steam released can be extremely hot!
• Dishes that dry out quickly can be moistened. Briefly place potatoes and vegetables in cold
water before you place them in the microwave. This prevents a skin forming.
• For an even result it is best to stir or turn a dish a few times.
• For warming up dishes that have already been cooked, always use the highest
microwave setting.
• You don't need much water, salt or herbs for the cooking. Salt is best added after cooking.
This prevents moisture from being removed from the food.
• After the microwave has been switched off, the dish continues cooking for a short time.
Take this into account and don't heat up the dish for too long.
Please note!
When heating small quantities of powdery products (such as when drying herbs), always
place a small cup of water in the microwave. Otherwise there is a possibility of self-
combustion if small quantities are heated.
Defrosting
• Always defrost large compact items using the power suitable for this purpose (see table
with power levels and applications). Because the dish is defrosted gradually and evenly,
you don't run the risk that the outside dries out while the core is still frozen.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, it is advised to separate the food into sections after
a certain amount of time.
• For large pieces of meat and compact dishes, allow time for two breaks in the
defrosting process.
• When defrosting an irregularly formed dish, you can cover thin areas halfway through
the defrosting process or wrap them with aluminium foil.
COOKING TIPS

EN 12
The following table provides guidelines for the defrosting times (minutes:seconds)
of various types of food.
Food Weight range Defrosting time
Meat 0.1 - 1.0 kg 1:30 - 26:00
Poultry 0.2 - 1.0 kg 2:30 - 22:00
Seafood 0.1 - 0.9 kg 1:30 - 14:00
Factors that influence the cooking process
• The temperature of the ingredients influences the cooking time. A cold meal needs more
cooking time than a meal at room temperature.
• Lighter dishes cook faster than heavier and solid dishes, such as stews or rolled meats.
Take care in preparing light, porous dishes. The edges will quickly become dry and tough.
• Smaller dishes are warmed more evenly if you place them in the microwave separate from
each other, preferably in a circle.
• Bones and fat conduct heat better than meat. Aluminium foil blocks the microwaves.
By covering thinner areas of dishes (such as chicken legs and wings), you prevent them
from cooking too quickly.
• Grease-proof paper prevents spattering and helps retain the heat.
Basic techniques
Stirring
Stirring dishes regularly distributes the stored heat. Always stir from the outside in, since the
outside of the dish always heats up first.
Turning over
Large, thick dishes should be turned over regularly. They then cook more evenly and quickly.
Pricking
Dishes with a skin or shell (such as egg yolks, seafood and fruit) burst open in the microwave.
Prevent this by pricking it with a fork or satay stick a few times before cooking.
COOKING TIPS

EN 13
Checking
Dishes cook quickly. That's why you should check them regularly. Take them out of the
microwave just before they're ready.
Continued cooking
In general, allow dishes to stand covered for 3 to 10 minutes after removing them from the
microwave. The dishes continue to cook. Don't cover dishes that have a dry crust, such as cake.
Freezing
When freezing food you should take defrosting in the microwave into account by not using
aluminium foil or trays and by freezing in flat portions.
Cooking vegetables
• If possible, always use fresh vegetables. If vegetables have become a little limp because
they've been left for too long, you can place them in cold water for a while so that they
absorb moisture.
• Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so that the layer of vegetables covering the dish
base is not too thick.
• Preferably cook vegetables with only the water remaining after rinsing.
• Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave film.
• Do not add salt. The salts present naturally in the vegetables should give sufficient flavour.
If you still wish to add salt, you can do this after cooking.
• Cook vegetables for the shortest time possible. Take into account the fact that the
vegetables will continue to cook.
• Check with a satay stick or fork whether the vegetables are ready.
Cooking fish
Fish needs to cook gradually. For thin fish, oily fish or small portions, use a low power level
(approx 30%). In other cases you can set the power somewhat higher. Take continued cooking
into account. Fish is ready when it becomes opaque.
COOKING TIPS

EN 14
Cleaning the appliance
Clean your appliance regularly to prevent a build-up of grease and food particles, especially
on interior and exterior surfaces, the door and door seals.
• Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe afterwards with
a clean, damp cloth and dry the surfaces.
• Clean the interior immediately after use. Remove boiled-over liquid and food remnants
with a damp cloth. Remnants of crumbs and moisture absorb microwaves and increase
cooking time.
• Smells will disappear if you place a glass of vinegar or water with lemon in the oven cavity.
Switch the microwave on at full power for two minutes. Then rub down with a damp cloth.
Important!
• Take care that NO water enters the vents.
• NEVER use abrasive cleaning materials or chemical solvents.
• DO NOT USE any abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean the glass door.
This will scratch the surface, which may cause the glass to break.
• DO NOT USE high pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean the microwave.
• If the seal of the microwave is very dirty, the door won't close properly. The front
of adjacent furniture can become damaged. Keep the seal clean.
Replacing the oven light
The lamp in this household appliance is only suitable for illumination of this
appliance. The lamp is not suitable for household room illumination.
Attention!
The oven light has to be replaced by an authorized technician. Do not attempt to replace
the oven light by yourself.
MAINTENANCE

EN 15
Troubleshooting
If the cooking results are not as desired, there are sparks in the microwave, the microwave does
not start, etc, first try to discover the cause of the malfunction before calling the service desk.
Check:
• Is the plug in the wall socket?
• Is the door closed properly?
• Have the power settings and times been set properly?
• Are there objects in the microwave that shouldn't be there?
• Did you use the correct kitchen utensils?
• Are the ventilation openings blocked?
• Has the food been defrosted sufficiently?
• Did you turn over or stir the food during cooking?
Also try the following:
Place a mug with water (about 150 ml) in the microwave, carefully close the door and set the time
to 1 minute.
• Does the light switch on?
• Does the fan switch on?
• Has the water in the mug become hot?
If the answer to one of the above questions is NO, then check the fuse in the circuit breaker box
as a last step. If there is nothing wrong with the fuse, then contact the service centre.
Sparks in the microwave
Please note!
If you see sparks in the microwave, turn the microwave off immediately. Sparks can
be caused by:
• metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of the microwave;
• aluminium foil that is not correctly covering the food (points that stick up act
as an antenna);
• metal from a closing strip or tableware with metallic edges;
• recycled paper that contains small metal particles.
