Warning and Safety instructions
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags intended for nor-
mal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually con-
tain a thin layer of aluminium foil which re-
flects microwaves. This reflected energy
can, in turn, cause the outer paper cover-
ing to become so hot that it ignites.
Always ensure that food or the
browning dish has been placed in
the microwave oven, and that the turn-
table is in place, before switching on.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils and fats as
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to
overheat.
Ovenproof earthenware can retain
a considerable amount of mois-
ture. Earthenware and porcelain con-
tainers with hollow handles and lid
knobs must only be used in this oven if
they have vent holes, which allow the
moisture to escape. Without vent holes
there can be a pressure build-up, caus-
ing the container to crack or shatter,
dangerously.
In all operating modes, except
Microwave-Solo, the oven interior,
the grill element, the oven door and the
housing get hot.
Do not let small children touch the oven
while it is in operation, there is a
danger of being burnt.
Supervise its use by the elderly or in-
firm.
Wear oven gloves when taking dishes
in and out of the oven, or when hand-
ling dishes or food in the oven if the
oven is or has just been in operation.
When placing food to be cooked
directly on the glass tray (if sup-
plied), always place a rack under the
glass tray so that heat can also reach
the food from underneath. The rack
and the glass tray become hot during
operation. There is a danger of being
burnt.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven could catch fire.
To measure the food temperature
only use a thermometer specifi-
cally approved for use in a microwave
oven. Never use a thermometer with
mercury or liquid.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could give
rise to a short circuit, or cause perma-
nent damage to the surface and to
components, for which the manufac-
turer of the oven cannot accept any re-
sponsibility.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
