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.
IF YOU 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.
DEEPFRYING
DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE oven for deep-fry-
ing, because the oil temperature
cannot be controlled.
LIQUIDS
E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liq-
uid 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 micro-
wave cookbook for de-
tails. Especially, if cooking or
reheating food that contains alcohol.
AFTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a baby bot-
tle 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!
PRECAUTIONS
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent
burns, when touching containers,
oven parts, and pan after cooking. Ac-
cessible parts may become hot dur-
ing use, young children should be kept
away.
DO NOT USE the cavity for any storage pur-
poses.
THE VENTILATION OPENINGS on the oven must not
be covered. Blocking the air intake or exhaust
vents may cause damage to the oven and poor
cooking results.
DO NOT STORE OR USE this appliance outdoors.
DO NOT USE this product near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, or similar.
DURING USE THE APPLIANCE becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
IF ACCESSORIES CONTAINING METAL comes in contact
with the oven interior, while the oven is in op-
eration, sparking can occur and the oven could
be damaged.
ENSURE THAT THE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof
and allow microwaves to
pass through them before
cooking.
WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the micro-
wave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accesso-
ries made of metal or metal parts.
ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn
freely before starting the oven. If the turntable
isn’t able to turn freely you should use a small-
er vessel or the TurnTable stop function (see
Large vessels).
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.
CRISPPLATE
PLACE THE FOOD DIRECTLY ON THE CRISP-PLATE.
Always use the Glass turn-
table as support when us-
ing the Crisp-plate.
DO NOT PLACE ANY UTENSILS on
the Crisp-plate since it will quickly
become very hot and is likely to cause
damage to the utensil.
THE CRISP-PLATE may be preheated before use
(max. 3 min.).
WIRE RACK
USE THE HIGH WIRE RACK when cook-
ing with grill.
USE THE LOW WIRE RACK when cook-
ing with forced air or combi fan.
STEAM ACCESSORY
USE THE ACCESSORY WITH THE STRAIN-
ER in place for such foods as sh,
vegetables and potatoes.
ALWAYS PLACE the accessory on
the Glass Turntable.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT under the
Glass turntable. Never put any oth-
er utensils on the turntable sup-
port.
Fit the turntable support in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking meth-
ods. It collects the dripping
juices and food particles that
otherwise would stain and soil
the interior of the oven.
Place the Glass turntable on the turntable
support.
LARGE VESSELS
USE THE TURNTABLE STOP button when cook-
ing with vessels that is so large that
they can not turn freely in the oven.
This function can only be used when
cooking with microwaves only and
Combi functions. The button will not work
with other functions.

GB
THE OVEN should be cleaned regularly and
any food deposits removed.
STEAM ACCESSORY
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally re-
quired. It must be carried out with the micro-
wave oven disconnected.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE OVEN in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely a ect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS,
ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, steel-
wool pads, gritty wash-
cloths, etc. which can
damage the control pan-
el, and the interior and exterior oven sur-
faces. Use a cloth with a mild detergent
or a paper towel with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to a paper towel.
DO NOT SPRAY directly on the oven.
AT REGULAR INTERVALS, especially
if spill overs have occurred, re-
move the turntable, the turnta-
ble support and wipe the base of
the oven clean.
THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED to operate with the turnta-
ble in place.
DO NOT operate the microwave oven
when the turntable has been removed
for cleaning.
USE A SOFT AND DAMP CLOTH with mild detergent
to clean the interior surfaces, front and rear of
the door and the door opening.
DO NOT ALLOW GREASE or food particles to
build up around the door.
FOR STUBBORN STAINS, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
marks.
ADDING SOME LEMON JUICE to a cup of water, plac-
ing this on the turntable and boiling for a few
minutes can eliminate odors inside the oven.
IF THE GRILL IS NOT USED REGULARLY, it should be
run for 10 minutes a month to burn off any
splashes, in order to reduce the risk of fire.
DISHWASHER SAFE:
TURNTABLE SUPPORT.
GLASS TURNTABLE
CAREFUL CLEANING:
THE CRISP-PLATE should be cleaned in mild, de-
tergent water. Heavily soiled areas can be
cleaned with a scouring cloth
and a mild cleanser.
ALWAYS let the crisp-plate
cool o before cleaning.
DO NOT immerse or rinse with water while
the crisp-plate is hot. Quick cooling may
damage it.
DO NOT USE STEEL-WOOL PADS. This will
scratch the surface.
DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANING APPLIANCES when
cleaning your microwave oven.
THE GRILL ELEMENT does not need cleaning since
the intense heat will burn o any splashes, but
the ceiling beneath it may need regular clean-
ing. This should be done with a soft and damp
cloth with mild detergent.

CHECK AND INSPECT THE FOOD REGULARLY.
FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic lms or card-
board packages can be placed directly in the
oven as long as the package has no metal
parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the de-
frosting time. 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 during defrosting time.
MORE HINTS :
TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the
defrosting process.
WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under-
thaw the food slightly and allow the
process to nish during standing time.
STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING ALWAYS IMPROVES
the result since the temperature will then be
evenly distributed throughout the food.
HINTS FOR FROZEN FOODS:
IF THE FOOD IS WARMER than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C),
choose shorter time.
IF THE FOOD IS COLDER than deep-freeze temperature (-18°C),
choose longer time.
