This document describes a Bosch Microwave Oven, providing comprehensive instructions for its safe operation, maintenance, and installation. The appliance is designed for preparing meals and drinks under supervision, suitable for household use and similar applications such as employee kitchens, agricultural settings, hotels, and bed and breakfasts, up to an altitude of 4000 meters above sea level. It complies with EN 55011 and CISPR 11 standards, classified as a group 2, class B product, indicating it produces microwaves for heating food and is suitable for private households.
The microwave oven offers various heating functions and automatic programs to simplify cooking. It features a control panel with a rotary selector, touch fields, and a display for setting the time, cooking duration, and selecting automatic programs. An automatic door opener allows for easy access to the cooking compartment. The appliance supports different microwave power settings, ranging from 90 W for defrosting delicate foods to 800 W for heating liquids, providing flexibility for various cooking needs.
The memory function allows users to save preferred settings for frequently prepared dishes, enabling quick recall and start-up. This is particularly useful for consistent results with specific recipes. The appliance also includes several automatic programs for defrosting meat, poultry, and bread, as well as cooking rice, potatoes, and vegetables. These programs are designed to automatically select optimal settings based on the food type and weight, simplifying the cooking process and ensuring good results.
For defrosting, the appliance guides users through steps like removing food from packaging, weighing it, and placing it in microwave-safe dishes. It also provides advice on draining liquids, separating food items, and allowing defrosted food to stand to even out the temperature. Similarly, for cooking with automatic programs, users are instructed to weigh the food, place it in covered microwave-safe cookware, and add the appropriate amount of water.
The appliance incorporates a cooling fan that operates as needed, even when the microwave function is off, to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Condensation may occur during cooking, which is considered normal and does not affect operation, requiring only a simple wipe-down.
The microwave oven emphasizes safe and efficient use. Users are advised to read the instruction manual carefully, especially the safety warnings, before operating the appliance. It is crucial to use only microwave-safe cookware and accessories, avoiding metal containers during microwave-only operation to prevent sparks and damage. A cookware test is provided to determine the suitability of dishes for microwave use.
The control panel is intuitive, allowing users to set the time, cooking duration, and power levels. The rotary selector is used to adjust values, and it can be pushed in to engage or release. The automatic door opener provides convenience, though in the event of a power cut, the door can be opened manually.
For optimal results, the manual provides detailed tables with recommended settings for various foods, including defrosting and heating different types of meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, and baked goods. These tables specify weight ranges, microwave power settings, and cooking times, often suggesting a range to allow for adjustment based on food quality and consistency. Tips are included for stirring food, covering it, and allowing it to stand after heating to ensure even temperature distribution and prevent overheating.
The appliance also features basic settings that can be configured when switched off, such as changing the signal duration. The clock can be set after initial configuration or a power cut, and it can also be hidden to reduce standby power consumption.
Regular cleaning and servicing are essential for the appliance's longevity and efficient operation. The manual provides detailed instructions on cleaning various parts of the microwave oven, including the cooking compartment, turntable, front of the appliance, control panel, and door panels.
Users are warned against using harsh or abrasive cleaning products, sharp metal scrapers, or steam/high-pressure cleaners, as these can damage the surfaces. Instead, hot soapy water and a soft cloth are recommended for most surfaces. For stainless steel fronts, special stainless steel cleaning products are advised, and limescale, grease, starch, and albumin stains should be removed immediately to prevent corrosion.
A cleaning aid function is available for occasional cleaning of the cooking compartment. This involves heating soapy water in a cup to soften dirt, which can then be easily wiped away. The turntable is removable for thorough cleaning with hot soapy water.
The manual also addresses troubleshooting common malfunctions, such as the appliance not working, food taking longer to heat, or the turntable grinding. It provides simple solutions like checking the power supply, ensuring the door is fully closed, or adjusting microwave power settings. For more complex issues or recurring faults, users are advised to contact customer service, providing the product and production numbers found on the rating plate.
Installation instructions are also provided, emphasizing safe installation practices. This includes checking for transit damage, removing packaging materials, and ensuring the appliance is correctly installed in temperature-resistant fitted units with adequate ventilation. The importance of electrical connection by a licensed professional is highlighted to prevent electric shock and ensure warranty validity.
