Safe use of the microwave oven
Metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper reflect microwaves. For that reason, do

For more information about suitable cookware, consult the following guidelines and always use
the glass baking tray on level 1 if you use the microwave function.

MICROWAVE OVEN
(DESCRIPTION OF THE OVEN AND EQUIPMENT – DEPENDING ON
THE MODEL)
The figure represents one of the built-in appliance models. Since the appliances for which
these instructions were drawn up may have different equipment, some functions or
equipment may be described in the manual that may not be present in your appliances.

6
WIRE GUIDES
The wire guides allow preparation of the food on four levels (please note that the levels/
guides are counted from the bottom up).
OVEN DOOR SWITCH
The switches deactivate the microwave heating when the oven door is opened during the
cooking process. When the door is closed, the switches turn the 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 operation of the cooling fan
depends on microwave operation time.)

OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES (depending on the model)
Use the GLASS BAKING DISH for cooking
with microwaves. It can also be used as a
serving tray.
In case of wire guides, the tray should
always be inserted into the groove between
the two wire profiles.
BAKING TRAY HOLDER makes it easier
to remove hot baking trays from the oven
after baking.
The appliance and some of the accessible parts tend to heat up
during cooking. Use oven mitts.

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.
1
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Before the first use, remove all components, including any transport equipment, from the
oven. Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not
use any abrasive cleaners.
MICROWAVE FUNCTION
Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting and defrosting food. They allow quick and
efficient cooking without changing the colour or shape of the food.
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation is commonly found in
our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Their frequency
is in the 2,450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
- They are reflected by metals.
- They travel through all other materials.
- They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven is empty.
