Risk of burns! ■ Airtight packaging may burst when food is
heated. Always observe the instructions on
the packaging. Always use oven gloves to
remove dishes from the cooking
compartment.
Risk of burns!
■ The accessible parts become very hot when
in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep
children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
■ Using the appliance for anything other than
its intended purpose is dangerous.
You are not permitted to use it to dry food
or clothing or to warm slippers, grain or
cereal pillows, sponges, damp cleaning
cloths or the like.
This is because, for instance, overheated
slippers, grain or cereal pillows, sponges
and damp cleaning cloths, etc., may cause
burns to the skin.
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
■ There is a possibility of delayed boiling
when a liquid is heated. This means that the
liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the
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.
:Warning – Risk of injury!
■ 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.
Risk of injury!
■ If using the appliance in microwave mode
only, placing cookware and containers
made of metal or featuring metal detailing
inside the appliance may cause sparks
when the appliance is operating. This may
damage the appliance. Never use metal
containers when using the appliance in
microwave mode only.
:Warning – Risk of electric shock!
The appliance is a high-voltage appliance.
Never remove the casing.
:Warning – Risk of serious damage to
health!
■ The surface of the appliance may become
damaged if it is not cleaned properly.
Microwave energy may escape. Clean the
appliance on a regular basis, and remove
any food residue immediately. Always keep
the cooking compartment, door seal, door
and door stop clean. ~ "Cleaning"

appliances that do not have any casing.
Never remove the casing. For any
maintenance or repair work, contact the
after-sales service.

]Causes of damage
Caus es of damage
Caution!
■ Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass –
must be kept at least 2cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the
inside of the door.
■ Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
■ Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment
may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
microwave unless there is food inside. The short
crockery test is the exception to this rule.
~ "Microwave" on page 12
■ Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Following
operation at high temperatures, only allow the
cooking compartment to cool down with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of
nearby furniture may become damaged over time.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst
the oven was operating.
■ Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never
operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or
missing. ~ "Cleaning" on page 19
■ Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave output
too high. Use a maximum microwave output of
600watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The door panels may crack if overloaded.
