IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DONOT HEAT, OR USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS in or
near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion.
DONOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for drying tex-
tiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood, flowers, fruit
or other combustible materials. Fire could re-
sult.
DONOT OVER-COOK FOOD. Fire could result.
DONOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED, especially
when using paper, plastic or other combusti-
ble materials in the cooking process. Paper can
char or burn and some plastics can melt if used
when heating foods.
IFMATERIAL INSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD IGNITE
OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, keep oven door closed and
turn the oven off. Disconnect the power cord
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit break-
er panel.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
ONLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the appliance under
adult supervision and after adequate instructions
have been given, so that the child is able to use
the appliance in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, unless used under
the supervision of a person responsible for their
safety.
WARNING!
ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT during use, young
children should be kept away.
DONOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for
heating anything in airtight sealed
containers. The pressure increas-
es and may cause damage when
opening or may explode.
EGGS
DONOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for cook-
ing or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell since they may
explode even after microwave
heating has ended.
THE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must be reg-
ularly inspected for damage. If these areas are
damaged the appliance should not be operat-
ed until it has been repaired by a trained service
technician.
DONOT USE corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically de-
signed to heat or cook food. It is not designed
for industrial or laboratory use.

5
GENERAL
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!
THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food
in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
IFYOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass
of water inside. The water will absorb the mi-
crowave energy and the oven will not be dam-
aged.
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.
DEEPFRYING
DONOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-frying,
because the oil temperature cannot be
controlled.
LIQUIDS
E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re-
moving the container from the oven.
CAREFUL
ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de-
tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.
AFTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a
baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be-
fore heating!
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and
pan after cooking.
DONOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.
PUSH  PUSH KNOBS
THE KNOBS OF THIS OVEN are aligned
with the buttons on the pan-
el, at delivery.
The knobs will slide out if pushed
and their various functions can be
accessed. It is not necessary to have
them petruding from the panel
during operation.
Simply push them back into the
panel when you are done with the
setting and continue to operate the oven.

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof
and allow microwaves to
pass through them before
cooking.
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.
BAKING PLATE
USE THE BAKING PLATE when
cooking or baking
with Convention-
al Bake.
NEVER USE IT in combination with microwaves.
GLASS DRIP TRAY
USE THE GLASS DRIP TRAY beneath the wire shelf
when using the Grill or Grill
and Microwaves in
combination. It may
also be used as a cooking
utensil or as a bak-
ing plate when
using Convention-
al Bake combined with Mi-
crowaves.
THE GLASS DRIP TRAY is used
to collect the dripping
juices and food par-
ticles that otherwise would stain
and soil the interior of the oven.
ALWAYS USE THE GLASS DRIP TRAY when using mi-
crowaves. It shall be placed on shelf level 1.
Avoid placing vessels directly on the oven bot-
tom.
WIRE SHELF
USE THE WIRE SHELF with all
cooking methods, ex-
cept when using the
Microwave function only.
The Wire shelf allows
hot air circulation around
the food and can be placed with the high
end up or down to adjust the distance from
the grill element. When you put food directly
on the Wire shelf, place the Glass drip tray un-
der it. It may also be used with Conventional
Bake . It may also be used when you combine
these functions with Microwaves.
LEVEL INDICATOR
WHEN SOME FUNCTIONS ARE SELECTED, the level in-
dicators will flash and lit. First the levels possi-
ble to use with this function flashes briefly and
then the recommended lev-
el to use with the function
is lit. In this example the lev-
el 1 & 3 would flash briefly
leaving the recommended
level 2 lit.

DONENESS (AUTO FUNCTIONS ONLY)
DONENESS IS AVAILABLE in most of the auto func-
tions. You have the possibility to personally
control the end result through the Adjust do-
neness feature. This feature enables you to
achieve higher or lower end temperature com-
pared to the default standard setting.
WHEN USING one of these functions the oven
chooses the default standard setting. This set-
ting normally gives you the best result. But if
the food you heated became too warm to eat
at once, you can easily adjust this before you
use that function the next time. NOTE:
THE DONENESS can only be set or altered during
the first 20 seconds of operation.
THIS IS DONE BY SELECTING ADONENESS LEVEL with the
adjust knob right after you have pressed the
Start button.
START PROTECTION / KEY LOCK
THIS AUTOMATIC SAFETY FUNCTION IS ACTIVATED ONE
MINUTE AFTER the oven has returned to
“stand by mode“. (The oven is in
“stand by” when the 24-hour clock is
displayed or if the clock has not been
set, when the display is blank).
THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED AND CLOSED e.g. putting
food into it, before the safety lock is released.
Else the display will show “DOOR”.

WHEN USING THE AUTO FUNCTIONS the oven needs
to know which food class it is to use to reach
proper results. The word FOOD and a food
class digit is displayed when you are choosing
a food class with the adjust knob.
COOLING DOWN
WHEN AFUNCTION IS FINISHED, the oven may carry
out a cooling procedure. This is normal.
After this procedure the oven switches off au-
tomatically.
WHEN USING SOME OF THE AUTO FUNCTIONS the oven
may stop (depending on the chosen program
and food class) and prompt you to STIR FOOD
or TURN FOOD.

MANUAL DEFROST
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE for “Cook & Reheat with
microwaves” and choose power level 160W
when defrostingmanually.
CHECK AND INSPECT THE FOOD REGULARLY. Experi-
ence will give you the times needed for vari-
ous amounts.
TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrost-
ingprocess.
FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or card-
board packages can be placed directly in the
oven as longas the package has no met-
al parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the de-
frostingtime.Shallow packets defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small
pieces of aluminum foil if
they start to become warm
(e.g. chicken legs and wing
tips).
BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost
better if stirred duringdefrostingtime.
WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under-
thaw the food slightly and allow the
process to finish duringstandingtime.
STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES
the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distribut-
ed throughout the food.
