9

1 Safety precautions
Caution: Risk of burns!
▪The appliance gets very hot when in use. The appliance door also gets hot.
▪Steam and/or hot air may escape from the cooking space when the appli-
ance door is opened.
▪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.
▪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.
▪Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger
of explosion!
▪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.
▪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.
▪Accessories get hot in the cooking space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.
▪Do not heat up alcoholic beverages!
▪When heating liquids in a microwave, place a teaspoon in the vessel to pre-
vent delayed boiling. When delayed boiling occurs, the boiling temperature
is reached without the usual steam bubbles rising. Disturbing a vessel, even
slightly, can cause the liquid to erupt if the container is open. Do not use
vessels with a narrow lip.
Caution: Risk of injury!
▪Be careful not to put fingers in the door hinges, there is otherwise a risk of
injury if the appliance door is moved. Particular care should be taken when
children are around.
▪Only leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position. An open appli-
ance door poses a danger of tripping or injury! Do not sit or rest on the ap-
pliance door or use it as a storage surface.
▪For hobs: A hob guard can be fitted to protect small children. Hob guards
are available from specialist retailers.
10

1 Safety precautions
Caution: Risk to life!
▪Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material, e.g. plastic film and poly-
styrene, away from children. Packaging material can be dangerous for chil-
dren.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪Close the appliance door carefully.
▪For appliances with visible bottom heating element: Do not place any ob-
jects directly on the bottom heating element.
▪Do not use protective aluminium inserts with appliances with no visible bot-
tom heating element.
▪Do not use objects that can rust in the cooking space.
▪Using knives or cutting wheels on the baking tray will visibly damage the
surface.
▪To prevent corrosion, leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position
until the cooking space has cooled down.
▪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.
▪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.

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.
