defrosting food in the microwave
are shorter than that of traditional
operation modes. Extensive
microwaving lead to dry food and
possible ignition. Fire hazard!
Do not use the microwave mode to
dry bread, bread rolls, flowers,
herbs, etc. Use the convection mode.
Do not heat cushions filled with
herbs, gel, etc. with the microwave
mode. The cushions could ignite even
when removed from the oven after
heating. This is a fire hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use full power warming
empty dishes. The lack or minimum
amount of food could cause damage to
the appliance.
Supervise cooking with grease or
oils. Oils and grease could ignite.
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave oven as it can easily
ignite.
Do not can cans in the appliance.
High pressure in the cans can
cause them to burst. This could result in
injury or damage.
If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep the oven door closed
to avoid fueling any flames. Turn the
oven off or disconnect the power
supply.
Cover food stored in the oven
interior. Condensation from food
and drinks could cause corrosion
damage to the oven. It also prevents
the food from drying up.
Spills or stains from food and
liquids containing salt should be
immediately cleaned from the stainless
steel interior. Corrosion may occur.
The glass tray and combi rack can
support a maximum weight of
17.5 lb (8 kg). The accessories may be
damaged if overstrained.
Do not lean, sit or place heavy
items on the open oven door. The
machine may be damaged.
Never place the hot glass tray on a
cold surface, such as a tiled or
granite countertop. The glass tray may
crack. Set the glass tray on a trivet
instead.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
from the cleaning appliance could
penetrate live components and
permanently damage the oven or cause
injury.
Do not operate this appliance if it
has a damaged cord or plug, if it is
not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
Do not cover or block any opening
on the appliance.
This appliance must not be
installed or operated outdoors.
Do not use this appliance near
water, e.g. sink, wet basement,
swimming pool, etc.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
Do not attempt to operate this oven
with the door open since open-door
operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the
oven front face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is
damaged. It is particularly important
that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent), (2) hinges and
latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
Items not suitable for use in the
microwave oven: metal
containers, aluminum foil, cutlery,
dishware with metal decoration, crystal
glass containing lead, bowls with a
knurled rim, non-temperature safe
plastic dishware, wooden dishware,
metal clips, wire twist ties, food
containers with metal coverings or
residues of it.
Danger of machine damage and fire
hazard.
The provided combi rack is specially
designed for the wavelength of the
microwaves and use for the oven.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended when heating food in
disposable, e.g. plastic, paper,
combustible materials.
See "Dishware for Microwave / Plastics".
Do not heat food in the oven in a
heat retaining packaging, e.g. take
out food bags.
The packaging contains a thin layer of
aluminum foil which reflects the
microwaves. This reflected energy can
cause the paper layer to ignite.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before serving food remember to
allow a sufficient standing time.
Always check the temperature of the
food itself after taking it out of the
microwave. Do not judge by the plate
temperature. The heat is created in the
food, the dishes may stay cool to the
touch.
Always check the temperature
before serving heated baby food.
After heating the baby food, stir or
shake the food, then test it.
To check on the food temperature
open the oven door. Use a special
food thermometer to measure the food
temperature. Do not use thermometers
containing mercury or liquids since they
are not suitable for high temperatures
and break easily.
Never cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers or
bottles. Remove the nipple or cap from
baby bottles before heating it in the
microwave. Built-up pressure may
cause them to burst. Danger of injuries.
The combi rack will get hot when
used in the microwave. Danger of
burns.
When heating liquids, the provided
boiling wand should be placed into
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,
in the oven without the boiling wand,
the boiling point of the liquid may be
reached without the production of
typical bubbles. The liquid does not
boil evenly. This ‘boiling delay" can
cause a sudden build up of steam
bubbles, when the container is
removed from the oven or shaken. This
can lead to the liquid boiling over
suddenly and explosively. Danger of
burning!
The built-up pressure may force the
oven door open. This could result in
injury or damage. The boiling wand
ensures that the liquid boils evenly and
that steam bubbles form at an early
stage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device.
Hard-boiled eggs should not be
reheated in the microwave oven. The
eggs may burst, even when they have
been removed from the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if
the yolk membrane has been
punctured first. The pressure could
otherwise cause the egg yolk to
explode. Danger of injuries.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages and
potatoes should be pierced or the skin
cut in several places before cooking to
allow steam to vent and prevent the
food from bursting.
Do not use dishware with hollow
handles or lid knobs. Moisture can
get into the hollow parts. (The hollow
parts of some dishware can be vented.)
Danger of built-up pressure and the
explosion of the hollow parts may
cause injuries.
Traditional functions:
Convection Plus, Auto Roast, Broil,
Convection broil
Caution! Danger of burns!
When using traditional functions the
oven interior gets very hot.
Do not allow children to touch or to
play in, on or near the oven when it
is in operation. The oven gets hot at the
oven door glass, the vapor vent, the
handle and the operating controls.
Danger of burns.
Use pot holders when working with
a hot appliance. Especially the
upper heating element gets extremely
hot when using the functions broil and
convection broil. Danger of burning!
Allow the heating element to cool
to the touch before attempting to
lower it for cleaning the oven. Danger of
burns.
Do not use force to lower the upper
heating element. It may get
damaged.
