Warning and Safety instructions
8

~Never open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous and can cause
operational faults or electric shock.
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
rating on the data plate corresponds to
the voltage and frequency of the
household supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid risk of
damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead or a multi-socket unit. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly, and
where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
~Repairs may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with national and
local safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised

Correct use
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently heated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its initial temperature,
changes to the recipe, and the shape
and size of the cooking container.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking,
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly
important that food is fully cooked
through (at temperatures over 70°C for
more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
~It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly throughout
the food being cooked. This can be
achieved by stirring and/or turning the
food, and by observing a sufficiently
long standing time, which should be
added to the time needed for cooking,
reheating or defrosting.
~Always remember that times for
cooking, reheating and defrosting in a
microwave oven are usually
considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of food preparation.
Excessively long cooking times can
lead to food drying out and burning, or
could even cause it to catch fire. There
is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs,
flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in the
microwave oven.
Always ensure that this type of
procedure is supervised.
~Do not use the microwave function
to heat up cushions or pads filled with
cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender
or gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite
when heated, even after they have
been removed from the microwave.
~Exercise caution when cooking or
reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If
heated for too long, the sugar may
caramelise or ignite.
~The microwave is not suitable for
cleaning or disinfecting items.
Items can get extremely hot, and there
is a danger of burning when the item is
removed from the microwave. Fire
hazard.
~Do not use full power to warm empty
dishes or to dry out herbs. Do not use
the appliance without food, or if it is
incorrectly loaded.
~Never cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be loosened. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~Before serving, remember to allow a
sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the
actual food itself after taking it out of the
microwave. The temperature of the
container is not an indication of the
temperature of the food or liquid in it.
This is particularly important when
preparing food for babies, children,
and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir
baby milk and food thoroughly after
heating, and try it for temperature to
ensure that it will not scald the baby.
When heating food and drinks,
remember that the heat is created in
the food itself, and that the container
will normally be cooler. The dish is only
warmed by the heat of the food.
~When heating liquids, the boiling rod
provided should always be placed into
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.
in the oven without the boiling rod, the
boiling point of the liquid may be
reached without the production of
typical bubbles. The liquid does not
boil evenly throughout. This so-called
'boiling delay' can cause a sudden
build-up of bubbles when the container
is removed from the oven or shaken,
which can lead to the liquid boiling over
suddenly and explosively. Danger of
burning.
The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the oven
door open, with a danger of burning.
The boiling rod ensures that bubbles
are produced, and that liquids heat
evenly.
~To avoid fuelling any flames, do not
open the oven door if smoke occurs in
the oven interior.
Interrupt the process by pressing the
Stop/C button twice. Switch off at the
wall socket, and where applicable,
remove the plug. Do not open the door
until the smoke has dispersed.
~Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave, as this can easily ignite.
Fire hazard.
~Do not heat up tins in the
microwave. Pressure can build up and
they may explode, resulting in injury or
damage.
~Cover any food which is left in the
microwave to be kept hot, as moisture
in the food could lead to corrosion
damage in the microwave. This also
prevents the food from drying out.
~Try to avoid the interior walls being
splashed with food or liquids containing
salt. If it does happen, wipe these away
thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the
stainless steel surface.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~Do not use any containers or cutlery
made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware,
temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden
utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire
ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims,
or plastic pots with the foil lid only
partially removed. Such items could be
damaged or cause a fire hazard.
The rack and gourmet plate supplied
with the appliance are designed to be
compatible with microwaves and can
therefore be used for grilling with or
without the microwave function. Do not
use the rack for Microwave Solo.
~Do not use the rack and the gourmet
plate at the same time. This will
damage the gourmet plate.
Always place the gourmet plate directly
on the turntable.
~Do not use the cover with the
gourmet plate, as the cover will get too
hot.
~Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic,
paper or other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use plastic
containers, make sure they are suitable
for use in microwave ovens. See
"Suitable containers for microwave
ovens".
~Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated in the microwave oven as
this may lead to the eggs bursting,
even after they have been taken out of
the oven.
~Eggs can be cooked without their
shells using microwave heat only if the
yolk membrane has been punctured
several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause
the egg yolk to explode.
Danger of injury.
~Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes
and aubergines, should be pierced or
the skin cut in several places before
cooking to allow steam to escape and
prevent the food from bursting.
~Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags which are intended
for normal ovens, such as roasting
bags. These heat-retaining bags
usually contain a thin layer of aluminium
foil which reflects microwaves. This
reflected energy can, in turn, cause the
outer paper covering to become so hot
that it ignites.
~Always ensure that food, the
gourmet plate or a browning dish has
been placed in the microwave, and that
the turntable is in place, before
switching on.
~Do not use the appliance for deep
frying food, and do not leave it
unattended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~Ovenproof earthenware can retain a
considerable amount of moisture.
Eartherware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used in this oven if they have
vent holes which allow the moisture to
escape. Without vent holes pressure
can build up, causing the container to
crack or shatter with the danger of
injury.
~When grilling with or without the
microwave function, the oven interior,
grill element and door can get hot. Do
not let small children touch the oven
while it is in operation, as there is the
danger of being burnt. Supervise its
use by elderly or infirm people.
~Wear oven gloves when placing
dishes in, and taking them out of the
oven, or when handling dishes or food
in the oven if the grill is on or has just
been in operation. Danger of burning.
~The gourmet plate gets extremely
hot when in use. Always use oven
gloves when handling it to avoid burns.
Place it on a suitable heat-resistant mat
or pot rest.
The rack and glass tray get hot during
grilling (with and without the microwave
function).
Take care not to burn yourself on them.
~Never place the hot glass tray (or
any other hot cooking containers) on a
cold surface, such as a tiled or granite
worktop. The glass tray or container
could crack or shatter, and the worktop
surface could get damaged. Use a
suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could catch fire.
~When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
appliance, ensure that the cable cannot
get trapped in a hot oven door, which
could melt the cable insulation and be
dangerous.
~To check food temperature, first
interrupt the cooking process. Only use
a thermometer specifically approved for
food use to measure the temperature of
the food. Never use a thermometer
containing mercury or liquid, as these
are not suitable for use with very high
temperatures and will break very easily.
~Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to clean this appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

In a microwave oven there is a
high-frequency tube called a
magnetron. This converts electrical
energy into microwaves. These
microwaves are distributed evenly
throughout the oven interior, and
rebound off the metal sides of the oven
interior to reach the food from all sides.
Microwave distribution is improved with
the turntable engaged.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate
the cooking utensil being used.
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,
glass, cardboard and plastics, but not
metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils
made of metal, or which contain metal,
for example in the form of gold or silver
trim. The metal reflects the microwaves
and this could lead to the creation of
sparks. The microwaves cannot be
absorbed.
Microwaves pass through a suitable
container and find their way directly into
the food. All food contains moisture
molecules which, when subjected to
microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5
thousand million times a second. The
friction caused by this vibration creates
heat, which first starts developing
around the outside of the food and then
slowly penetrates towards the centre.
The moisture, fat and sugar content of
food will affect the speed at which it is
cooked.
As heat is produced directly in the
food,
–food can generally be cooked
without adding much liquid or
cooking oil.
–cooking, reheating and defrosting in
a microwave oven is quicker than
using conventional methods.
–nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
–the colour, texture and taste of food
are not impaired.
Microwaves stop being produced as
soon as the cooking process is
interrupted or the appliance door is
opened.
When the appliance is in operation, the
closed, sealed door prevents
microwaves escaping from the
appliance.
How the microwave oven works
14

What can a microwave oven
do?
In the microwave oven, food is cooked,
reheated or defrosted quickly.
You can use the microwave in the
following ways:
–Food can be defrosted, reheated or
cooked by entering a power setting
and a time.
–Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can
be defrosted and then reheated or
cooked.
– The microwave oven can also be
used for other tasks, e.g. for proving
dough, melting chocolate and butter,
dissolving gelatine etc.
In what ways can a microwave
oven be used?
Microwave Solo mode
Suitable for defrosting, reheating and
cooking.
Grilling
Ideal for grilling very thin cuts of meat,
e.g. bacon.
Combination mode
(Microwave + Grill)
Ideal for browning dishes with
toppings. The microwave cooks the
food, and the grill browns it.
Automatic programmes
You can choose from the following
automatic programmes:
– Five defrosting programmes
(N:Ad1toAd5),
–Four cooking programmes for frozen
food
(N °:AC1toAC4).
–and eight cooking programmes for
fresh food
(°:AC1toAC8).
These programmes are weight
dependent. You enter the weight of the
food, and then the cooking time is
calculated automatically.
Modes of operation
15

Microwaves
–are reflected by metal,
– pass through glass, porcelain,
plastic and card,
–and are absorbed by food.
Material and shape
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooking results and times.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval shaped flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
Containers and lids with hollow
handles or knobs in which moisture
can collect are unsuitable, unless
the hollowed areas are adequately
vented.
Without vent holes pressure can
build up, causing the container to
crack or shatter with the danger of
injury.
Metal
Metal containers, aluminium foil,
metal cutlery, and china with
metallic decoration such as gold
rims or cobalt blue must not be used
on microwave mode.
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
Also, avoid using plastic pots where
the foil lid has not be completely
removed.
Exceptions:
–Ready meals in aluminium foil dishes
These can be defrosted and reheated
in the microwave oven, if
recommended by the manufacturer.
Remove the lid and make sure the foil
dish is at least 2 cm from the oven walls
at all times.
Important:
As food is only heated from the top, it is
better to remove the food from the
aluminium foil container and transfer it
to a dish suitable for a microwave oven.
The heat distribution will be more even.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
16

Do not place aluminium foil dishes
on the grilling rack in case the dish
sparks or arcs. If sparks occur,
transfer food to a microwave-safe
container.
–Pieces of aluminium foil
For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of
meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of
aluminium foil may be used to mask
wingtips or other thin parts for the last
few minutes of the programme.
Make sure that the aluminium foil is
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at
all times. It must not touch the walls.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
These should only be used if they are
very small in comparison to the size of
the cut of meat.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Crystal glass is unsuitable as it
contains lead which could cause the
glass to crack in the microwave.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Do not use porcelain with gold or
silver edging or items with hollow
knobs or handles, as insufficient
ventilation may cause pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Earthenware can get very hot, and
may crack.
Glazes and colours
Some glazes and colours contain
metals which make them unsuitable
for use in a microwave oven.
Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the
wood to dry and crack.
Plastics
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
Plastics must only be used with
Microwave Solo.
They must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the
plastic may melt and fuse with the
food.
Special plastic utensils designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from good retail outlets.
Melamine is not suitable as it absorbs
energy and heats up.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
17

Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short, timed warming and
reheating of food.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should
be pierced beforehand so that
steam can escape. This prevents a
build-up of pressure and reduces
the risk of the bag bursting.
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
Disposable containers
Only those plastic disposable
containers which are specified by the
manufacturer as suitable for use in a
microwave oven may be used.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials.
Disposable containers are not always
recyclable or bio degradable.
Testing dishes for their
suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
earthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use in a
microwave oven, a simple test can be
performed:
^Place the item you wish to test in the
centre of the oven, fill a suitable glass
with water and also place this in the
oven.
^Close the door.
^Turn the power selector to 800 W.
^Enter a time of 30 seconds with the
time selector.
^Press the Start button.
At the end of the test, the water in
the glass should be warm and the
dish cool. If the dish is hot and the
water cold, it would be unwise to
use the dish.
If a crackling noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch the appliance off imme-
diately (press button Stop/C twice).
Any crockery which causes this
reaction is unsuitable for use with
microwave power.
If any doubt exists about the
suitability of containers, please
contact the supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
18

The cover
–prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
–speeds up the cooking process.
–prevents food from drying out.
–helps keep the oven interior clean.
Always cover food with the cover
supplied.
Alternatively, use lids or covers made of
microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use
a clingfilm recommended for use in a
microwave oven (pierce as instructed
by the manufacturer).
Heat can cause normal clingfilm to
distort and fuse with the food.
Sealed glass containers, such as
jars of baby food, must be opened
before they are placed in the oven.
Do not use a lid or cover if
–food coated with breadcrumbs is
being cooked.
–cooking meals which are to be given
a crisp finish.
–the gourmet plate is being used.
Because the cover can only
withstand temperatures of up to
110°C, it must only be used in
Microwave Solo mode. It must not
be used in conjunction with the
gourmet plate. At temperatures in
excess of 110°C, the plastic can
melt and get into the food.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the cover is
used with a container which only has
a narrow diameter, there might not
be enough room for condensation to
escape through the holes in the top.
The cover could get too hot and
could start to melt.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
19

Important:
After unpacking, let the appliance
stand for approx. 2 hours at room
temperature after transporting it to
its final location before connecting it
to the mains.
This is important for the correct
electronic functioning of the appliance.
^Remove all the packaging materials
and any protective foil from the
appliance.
Do not remove the cover to the
microwave outlet inside the oven,
nor the film covering the inside of
the door.
^Check the appliance for any
damage.
Do not use the microwave if
– the door is warped.
– the door hinges are loose.
– holes or cracks are visible in the
casing, the door or the oven interior
walls.
Operating the appliance with this
type of damage will result in
microwave leakage and present a
hazard to the user.
^Clean the inside of the oven and all
the accessories with warm water
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.
^Stick the enclosed short instructions
to the frame behind the door as
illustrated, making sure they do not
block any of the vents.
