9

1 Safety precautions
Caution: Risk of injury!
▪Be careful not to put fingers in the door hinges, as there is a risk of injury if
the appliance door is moved. Particular care should be taken when children
are around.
▪An open appliance door poses a tripping or crushing hazard. Do not sit or
rest on the appliance door or use it as a storage surface.
Caution: Risk of burns!
▪Accessible parts of the appliance can get hot during operation. Keep chil-
dren away from the appliance.
▪The appliance and the appliance door (particularly glass doors) get very hot
during operation.
▪Steam may escape from the cooking space when the appliance door is
opened. If there is steam in the cooking space, do not put your hands in-
side.
▪Overheated fat and oil can easily catch fire. Heating oil in the cooking
space to sear meat is dangerous and should not be done. Never attempt to
extinguish burning oil or fat with water. Danger of explosion! Smother the
flames with a fire blanket. Keep doors and windows closed.
▪Danger of explosion! Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.)
over hot food.
▪Do not heat up alcoholic beverages!
▪Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.
▪If you notice smoke possibly coming from the appliance itself or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance door closed. Disconnect the appli-
ance from the power supply.
▪The appliance will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and will
only cool down slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for the ap-
pliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
▪Do not leave the appliance unattended when drying herbs, bread, mush-
rooms, etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, it can pose a fire hazard.
10

1 Safety precautions
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪Do not change anything relating to the construction of the appliance. Try to
prevent the appliance door and the control and safety devices from being
damaged or manipulated. The illumination must only be changed by our
Customer Services.
▪Keep the appliance clean at all times. Clean the appliance door with a mild
cleaning agent.
▪Prevent the appliance door, door frame and door hinges from being dam-
aged.
▪Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning aids such as steel wool,
knives, glass scrapers, razor blades, etc., to clean the door glass under any
circumstances. Scratches on the door glass could cause a breakage.
▪Close the appliance door carefully.
▪When cleaning the appliance, make sure no water gets inside it. Use a
moderately damp cloth. Do not spray the outside or the inside of the appli-
ance with water. If water gets inside the appliance, it will cause damage.
1.6 Microwave
▪Microwave energy is safe when used properly. When the appliance door is
opened, microwave operation is automatically interrupted. In the event of a
malfunction or damage to the appliance, especially to the appliance door,
do not use microwave operation. The appliance must be repaired by quali-
fied personnel.
▪Ensure that nothing is trapped between the appliance door and the frame.
▪Do not switch the microwave on until you have put the food in the cooking
space.
Heating foods and liquids
▪Do not leave the appliance unattended when heating up or cooking food in
containers that are made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials. The
containers can melt or ignite.
▪Ignition hazard and danger of explosion! Do not heat beverages or food that
contain alcohol.
▪Scalding hazard! When heating liquids, place a teaspoon in the vessel to
prevent delayed boiling (or superboiling). With delayed boiling, boiling point
is reached without the typical steam bubbles forming. Disturbing an open
vessel, even slightly, can cause the liquid to erupt.
▪Do not use vessels with a narrow spout.
11

1 Safety precautions
▪Stir liquids halfway through heating and when the time is up allow the vessel
to stand in the cooking space for a short time. Stir the contents once more
and then take the vessel out of the cooking space.
▪Scalding hazard! Infant food in jars and bottles must be heated without the
lid, top or teat. Infant food must be stirred or shaken well after being heated
up. It is imperative to check the temperature of the food before giving it to
the infant!
▪Do not heat food in tightly sealed containers (tins, bottles, sealed foil, paper
or metal disposable packaging). Remove plastic packaging before cooking
or defrosting foods. Sealed containers are liable to explode. Always open
the containers.
▪The cooking time depends on the quantity, nature and initial temperature of
the food, as well the cookware being used. Always start with the shorter
cooking time given to avoid overcooking the food. Otherwise, smaller quant-
ities or food with a low moisture content can dry out and possibly ignite. If
the food has not reached the right stage of cooking when the time is up, ex-
tend the cooking time.
▪Prick food with a skin or peel such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, shell
food, etc. with a fork. Otherwise, the steam that is produced will be unable
to escape and may cause the food to explode.
▪Do not cook eggs in the shell. Do not heat up boiled eggs. Eggs can ex-
plode in the microwave. Crack the eggs open and then whisk them. Pierce
the yolks of fried eggs.
1.7 Children in the home
▪Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children. Pack-
aging material, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, can be dangerous for chil-
dren.
▪The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these op-
erating instructions. Children are often unable to recognize the danger of
electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children
to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could hurt them-
selves.
12

1 Safety precautions
1.8 Accessories
Risk of burns! The accessories get very hot during use. Use protective
gloves or oven cloths.
Turntable roller and glass turntable
▪Use the appliance at all times and exclusively with the turntable roller and
the glass turntable supplied.
▪Never place any other vessel than the glass turntable directly on the
turntable roller.
▪Allow the glass turntable to cool down first before cleaning it or rinsing it
with water.
▪Do not cook food directly on the glass turntable.
▪Do not place hot food or containers on the glass turntable when it is cold.
▪Do not place frozen food or containers on the glass turntable when it is hot.
Cookware
▪Ensure the cookware does not touch the sides of the cooking space as it
rotates.
▪Use only heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware, such as glass, ceramic,
porcelain, or heat-resistant plastics. Microwaves can penetrate these materi-
als. Microwaves cannot or can only partially penetrate metal cookware; food
in this instance will remain cold. If you use metal cookware, arcing may oc-
cur which could damage the appliance.
▪Only use cookware with a metal decor, e.g. a gold rim, or food in aluminium
containers if the manufacturer guarantees their microwave compatibility.
This also applies to products made from recycled paper.
▪Do not use a meat thermometer. The features of meat thermometers can
cause arcing in the microwave mode, which will damage your appliance.
▪Porcelain, ceramic and earthenware cookware may have cavities. These
can fill with water, causing the dishware to crack. Follow the manufacturers'
instructions.
13

2 Disposal
Packaging
