Safety guidelines
Read the following important safety information carefully and keep it for
further reference.
DANGER – ELECTRIC SHOCK!
► The appliance must only be connected to a correctly installed and
earthed mains power socket. Ensure that the rating for your local
power supply corresponds with the details on the rating plate of the
appliance.
► Ensure that the power cable does not become wet or moist during use.
Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be crushed or damaged.

Before you begin
Basic principles of microwave cookery
■ Arrange the food with consideration.
■ Place the thickest parts near the edges.
■ Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the
shortest possible stated cooking time and increase
as required. Food that is cooked too long can
begin to smoke or catch fire.
■ Cover the food during cooking with a lid suit-
able for microwave cookery. The lid prevents
splashing and helps in the even cooking of the
food.
■ While cooking, turn the food in the microwave
once so that items such as chicken or hamburgers
are cooked more quickly.
■ Large pieces of food, such as joints of meat,
must be turned at least once.
■ Completely rearrange foods, such as meatballs,
after half the cooking time. Turn them over and
move the meatballs from the middle of the cook-
ware to the edge.
Suitable cookware
■ The ideal material for a microwave oven is
microwave-permeable, allowing the energy to
penetrate the container to heat the food.
Microwaves cannot permeate metal. For this
reason, metal containers and cookware should
not be used.
■ When using the microwave for heating, do not
use products made of recycled paper. These
can contain minute fragments of metal, which
can generate sparks and/or fires.
■ We recommend the use of round/oval cook-
ware instead of square or oblong containers,
as food in corner areas tends to overcook.
■ The following list provides general hints to assist
you in selecting the correct cookware.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
► Never use the grill stand !or other metallic
objects when you are using the appliance in
the microwave mode or in the combination
cooking process. Metals reflect the microwave
radiation and this leads to the generation of
sparks.
This can cause a fire and irreparably damage
the appliance!

cooking for a couple of minutes using the
Quick start programme. For programmes
that involve the use of the grill function
(programme numbers 4, 7 and 8), the food
can be cooked further with the grill function.
Continued cooking with the grill function also
increases the browning of the food.
