This document serves as a comprehensive user manual and installation guide for a Siemens microwave oven, model BF555LMS0B. It provides detailed instructions on safe operation, material damage prevention, environmental protection, energy saving, and appliance maintenance.
The microwave oven 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. It operates up to an altitude of 4000 meters above sea level and complies with EN 55011 and CISPR 11 standards, classifying it as a group 2, class B product, meaning it produces microwaves for heating food and is suitable for private households.
The appliance features various microwave power settings ranging from 90 W to 900 W, allowing for diverse cooking tasks:
The microwave can be set for specific cooking times: 900 W for up to 30 minutes, 600 W for up to 60 minutes, and 90 W, 360 W, 180 W for up to 99 minutes.
The control panel includes touch fields for selecting functions, a settings area for adjusting values like time and cooking duration, and a display for showing the clock or cooking time. An automatic door opener allows the appliance door to spring open, which can then be fully opened manually. In case of a power cut, the automatic door opener will not function, and the door must be opened manually.
The appliance includes a cooling fan that switches on and off as needed, even if the oven has been turned off, to maintain internal temperatures. Condensation may occur in the cooking compartment and on the door during operation, which is normal and should be wiped away after cooking.
The manual emphasizes safe usage, particularly regarding fire, burns, scalding, injury, electric shock, and suffocation risks. Users are advised against storing combustible objects in the cooking compartment and to switch off the appliance and keep the door closed if smoke is emitted. Loose food remnants, fat, and meat juices should be removed before use to prevent fire.
For microwave operation, only microwave-safe cookware and accessories should be used. Metal containers or cookware with metal edging are not recommended for microwave-only operation as they can cause sparks and damage the appliance. A cookware test is provided to determine suitability: empty cookware is heated at maximum microwave power for 30 seconds to 1 minute; if it remains cold or warm, it is suitable; if it becomes hot or sparks are created, it is not.
The appliance offers a memory function to save frequently used settings for a dish, which can be recalled and started easily. It also includes automatic programmes for defrosting and cooking various foods:
Specific guidelines are provided for heating frozen food and general food items, including beverages, baby food, soups, and plated meals. These guidelines specify recommended weight, microwave power settings, and cooking times, along with tips for stirring, covering, and checking temperature.
Regular cleaning and servicing are crucial for the appliance's efficiency and longevity. The manual provides detailed instructions on cleaning various parts:
The appliance also features a "humidClean" cleaning aid, which softens dirt by vaporizing soapy water, making it easier to remove. This involves placing a cup of water with a few drops of washing-up liquid and a spoon in the cooking compartment, setting the microwave to 600 W for 3 minutes, then wiping and drying the compartment.
The manual also covers basic settings adjustments, such as changing the signal duration and hiding the clock to reduce standby power consumption. Troubleshooting information is provided for common malfunctions like the appliance not working, food taking longer to heat, turntable grinding, or error messages, guiding users on how to resolve these issues or when to contact customer service.
