1 Safety precautions
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
1.1 Before using for the first time
• The appliance must be installed and connected up to the electricity supply
in accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary
work should be done by a qualified fitter or electrician.
• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
• Before using the newly installed appliance for the first time, please follow
the tips in the USING FOR THE FIRST TIME section.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards
and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is
however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please
therefore follow the precautions given in these operating instruc-
tions.
In a serviceable microwave appliance the microwave energy remains
in the appliance and is therefore harmless. Operation is automatically
interrupted on opening the appliance door.

1.2 Correct use
• The appliance is designed for use in the home for preparing food. Do not
flambé or prepare food using a lot of fat in the cooking space! No liability
is assumed for any damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
• Never use the appliance for drying animals, fabrics or paper!
• Do not use the appliance as a room heater.
• Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially to
any electrical parts, may only be carried out by the manufacturer, its
Customer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out
incorrectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings,
as well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not
working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given
in the REPAIR SERVICE section. Please contact Customer Services if
necessary.
• Use original spare parts only.
• Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell the
appliance or pass it on to a third party, please ensure these operating
instructions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on
installation. In this way, the new owners can inform themselves about how
to use the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.
1.3 Children in the home
• Packaging material e.g. plastic and polystyrene can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Please keep packaging material away from
children.
• The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these
operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise 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 themselves.

1.4 Note on use
• If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
• If the appliance is not operating property, disconnect it from the power
supply immediately.
• Ensure the mains cables of other electrical appliances do not get caught
in the door of the appliance, as the electrical cable insulation could get
damaged.
• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by
Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
• Ensure there are no foreign bodies or pets in the cooking space before
closing the appliance door.
• Objects that could pose a danger if the appliance were accidentally
switched on should not be stored in the cooking space. Do not store food
nor any temperature-sensitive or inflammable materials, e.g. cleaning
agents, oven sprays, etc., in the cooking space.
Caution: Danger of injury!
• Be careful that fingers do not get caught in the door hinges. Otherwise, if
the appliance door is moved, there is a risk of injury. Particular care should
be taken when children are around.
• An open appliance door poses danger of tripping or injury! Do not sit or
rest on the appliance door or use it as a storage surface.

Caution: Burns hazard!
• Accessible parts of the appliance can get hot when in use. Keep children
away!
• The appliance, the appliance door and especially the glass get very hot
when in use.
• Steam may escape from the cooking space when the appliance door is
opened. Do not put your hands into the cooking space if there is steam in
it!
• 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 try to
extinguish burning oil or fat with water (danger of explosion)! Extinguish the
flames using a fire blanket and keep all doors and windows closed.
• Do not pour spirits (e.g. brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food –
danger of explosion!
• Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Always wear protective gloves
or use oven cloths.
• If you notice smoke possibly coming from a fire in the appliance or inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance door closed and disconnect the
appliance from the mains supply.
• The appliance will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and cool
down only slowly to room temperature. Allow sufficient time for the
appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
• Do not leave the appliance unsupervised when drying herbs, bread,
mushrooms, etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much, this can pose a fire
hazard.

How to avoid damaging the appliance
• The construction of the appliance may not be changed in any way. Do not
apply force to or interfere with the appliance door or the control and safety
devices. The illumination may only be replaced by our Customer Services.
• Always keep the appliance clean. Clean the appliance door with mild
detergent.
• Take care not to damage the appliance door, the door frame and the door
hinges.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning aids such as steel wool,
knives, glass scrapers, razor blades, etc. to clean the door glass.
Scratches on the door glass could cause a breakage.
• Close the appliance door carefully.
• When cleaning the appliance make sure no water can get into the inside
of the appliance. Use only a moderately damp cloth. Do not spray the
inside or outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner.
If water gets inside the appliance, it can cause damage.

1.5 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
qualified 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 your appliance unattended when heating or cooking food in
containers that are made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials.
The containers can melt or ignite.
• Do not heat beverages or food that contain alcohol. Ignition hazard and
danger of explosion!
• 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 shoot out – risk of scalding!
• Do not use vessels with a narrow spout.
• 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.
• Infant food in jars or bottles must be heated without the lid, top or teat.
Infant food must be stirred or shaken well after being heated. It is imper-
ative to check the temperature of the food before giving it to the infant –
risk of scalding!
• 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 can explode. Always open
the containers.
