Safety precautions for the prevention of excessive
exposure to microwave energy
► Do not try to operate the appliance while the door is open,
as this can lead to you being exposed to a potentially harmful
dose of microwave radiation. It is also important not to break
or manipulate the safety locks.
► Do not jam anything between the front of the appliance and
the door, and make sure that there is no food or cleaning
agent residue left on the seals.
DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK!
► Never submerse the appliance, the power cable or the plug
in water or other liquids.
► Keep the power cable well away from sources of heat.
Do not route it in front of the microwave oven door. The heat
could damage the cable.
► Never pour fluids into the ventilation openings or the safety
locks. If liquids ever get into the vents, switch off the micro-
wave oven immediately and pull the plug from the mains
power socket.
Have the appliance checked by qualified specialists.
WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!
► If the door or the door seal is damaged, do not continue
using the appliance under any circumstances. Have the
appliance repaired as soon as possible by qualified
specialists.
► Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Removal of
the appliance housing could cause the release of microwave
energy. Arrange for the repair to be carried out only by
qualified specialists.

■ 6 │ GB│IE│NI SMWC 700 A1
WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!
► This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years or more
and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they
are supervised, or have been instructed in the safe use of the
appliance and have understood the potential risks.
► Do not allow children to use the appliance as a toy.
► Cleaning and user maintenance tasks may not be carried
out by children unless they are supervised.
► Children younger than 8 years of age must be kept away
from the appliance and the power cable.
► Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this manual. Do not use any caustic chemicals or vapours
in this appliance. This microwave is designed especially for
heating foods. It is not intended for use in industrial applica-
tions or laboratories.
► Do not operate the microwave oven if the power cable or
plug are damaged. To avoid risks, arrange to have dam-
aged mains cables/plugs replaced as soon as possible by a
qualified specialist.
► Keep children at a safe distance from the microwave oven
while it is in use. Risk of burns!
► Under no circumstances should you remove the microwave
oven housing.
► If the lamp in the interior of the microwave oven needs re-
placing, have this done by a qualified specialist.

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!
► Do not allow the power cable to hang down from a table
or work surface. Children could pull on it.
► After heating, always open containers, popcorn bags, etc.
so that the opening faces away from your body.
Escaping steam could cause scalds.
► Never stand directly against the microwave oven when
opening the door. Escaping steam could cause scalds.
► Do not fry foods in the microwave. Hot oil can damage
parts of the appliance and utensils and even cause skin
burns.
► Always shake up or stir heated up jars of baby food or baby
bottles! The contents can heat up unevenly and burn or
scold your baby. Always check the temperature before you
feed your baby!
► Do not modify the microwave oven.
► Microwave radiation is dangerous! Maintenance or repair
work which involves removal of the covers that prevent
microwave exposure should only be carried out by trained
technicians.
► Always check the temperature of the food before eating, to
avoid a potentially life-threatening burning injury, for in-
stance, to babies. Cooking utensils can become hot from the
heat emitted by the food, therefore you may require oven
gloves to touch them. Cooking utensils must also be checked
to ensure they are microwaveable.
Caution! Hot surface!

NOTES ON SAFE USE
► To minimise the risk of fire in the microwave: Do not leave
the microwaveunattended when heating foods in plastic or
paper containers as the materials could ignite
► When heating drinks in the microwave, bubbling may be
delayed when the drink boils. Therefore, be careful when
handling the container. To avoid sudden bubbling up:
–If possible, place a glass rod in the fluid for as long as it
is being heated.
–To avoid an unexpected bubbling up, leave the liquid to
stand in the microwave oven for about 20 seconds after
heating.
► Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages or similar. Other-
wise, they could explode.
► Be careful when heating liquids. Use only open containers,
so that any air bubbles produced can escape.
► If the appliance starts to give off smoke, switch it off immedi-
ately or remove the plug from the mains and keep the door
closed to smother any flames that might otherwise escape.
► Eggs in their shells and hard-boiled eggs should not be heat-
ed in the microwave oven as they could explode, even after
completion of the heating process.
Food with thick skins, such as potatoes, whole pumpkins,
apples and chestnuts, must be pricked before cooking.
► Do not move the microwave oven when it is in use.

EARTHING INFORMATION/PROPER INSTALLATION
► This appliance must be earthed. This appliance is to be
connected only to a correctly earthed power socket. An
individual circuit solely for the connection of the microwave
is recommended.
DANGER! Improper handling of the mains plug could
increase the risk of an electric shock.
NOTE: If you have any questions about earthing or the
instructions regarding the electrics, please consult an elec-
trician or a maintenance technician.
► Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept liability
for damage to the microwave oven or injuries resulting from
failure to comply with the instructions regarding electrical
connection.
RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH OTHER APPLIANCES
► The operation of the microwave may cause interference on
your radio, television or similar appliances.
If such interference occurs, it can be reduced or corrected
by the following remedial measures:
–Clean the door and the seals of the microwave.
–Realign the aerial of your radio or television.
–Keep the microwave and the receiver spatially
separated.
–Move the microwave away from the receiver.
–Plug the microwave into another wall socket. The
microwave and the receiver should be connected to
different circuits.

Before starting
Basic principles of microwave cookery
■ Arrange the pieces of food evenly in the microwave.
■ Cut the food into pieces of approximately the same size.
■ Place the thickest pieces 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 suitable 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 small food items, such as meatballs, after half the
cooking time. Turn the meatballs and move them from the middle of the plate
to the edge.

GB│IE│NI │ 13 ■
SMWC 700 A1
Suitable cookware
■ The ideal material for use in a microwave oven is microwave-permeable,
allowing the energy to penetrate the container to heat the food. Microwaves
cannot penetrate 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 cookware instead of square or ob-
long containers, as food in corner areas tends to overcook. The following list
provides general hints to assist you in selecting the correct cookware.
Cookware Microwave oven
Heatproof glass Yes
Non-heatproof glass No
Heatproof ceramic Yes
Microwave-suitable plastic dishes Yes
Kitchen roll Yes
Metal tray/plate No
Aluminium foil & foil containers No
WARNING – RISK OF FIRE!
► Never use metallic objects when you are using the microwave. Metals
reflect the microwave radiation and this leads to the generation of sparks.
This can cause a fire and irreparably damage the appliance!
