surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly
boil over and spatter.
When heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed
boiling.
Risk of injury!
Scratched glass in the appliance door may develop into a crack. Do not use a
glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning aids or detergents.
Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain or ceramic ovenware can have small
perforations in the handles or lids. These perforations conceal a cavity below.
Any moisture that penetrates this cavity could cause the ovenware to crack.
Only use microwave-safe ovenware
CAUSES OF DAMAGE
Caution!
Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm from
the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the
glass on the inside of the door.
Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into the hot cooking
compartment. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause
damage.
Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment for long
periods.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to corrosion.
Heavily soiled seal:
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer
close properly during operation. Always keep the seal clean.
Operating the microwave without food
: Operating the appliance without food
in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this
rule is a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").
Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects on:
Do not stand
or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or
accessories on the appliance door.
Transporting the appliance
: Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door
handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could
break.
Microwave popcorn:
Never set the microwave power too high. Use a power
setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
The disc may jump if overloaded.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed since they
may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the
surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in
a hazardous situation.
