Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended
in a recipe, make sure that it tightly adheres to the
cookware or food and a gap of at least 2.5 cm is left
between the aluminium foil and the cooking
compartment walls.
Otherwise sparking may occur inside the oven and the
appliance could consequently get damaged.
In order to ensure that the seal is constantly
protected adequately against hazardous escaping
microwaves, always make sure that:
a) No objects (dishcloths, parts of food
packaging etc.) are caught between the door and
cabinet
b) Door seal or door hinges are not
damaged or soiled (also see section on "Cleaning and
Care")
Do not touch - Scalding hazard
During operation your microwave oven may present
scalding hazards in the following components:
on the door - glass panel
on the lateral air vents
on the underside of the oven
2. Prevention of smoke or fire in the
microwave oven
If food(s) overheats, smoke may develop or smouldering
may start inside the oven.
Food(s) with a high sugar or fat content are particularly
prone to this hazard.
The microwave oven is therefore not suitable for:
frying
making popcorn
melting sugar or fats
cooking dried beans etc.
When preparing food(s) with uncertain
compositions, you should keep an eye on the
appliance until the end of the set cooking time.
2.1 How to react when smoke develops inside the
oven
Should smoke or fire develop inadvertently inside the
oven, this problem can usually be easily overcome by
taking the following correct steps:
Whatever happens, keep the oven door closed.
First thing, switch off the appliance immediately
Then switch off the power supply by unplugging the
appliance or activating the fuse safety switch.
Open the oven to take out the burnt food only when
you can no longer detect any smoke.
CAUTION ELECTRIC SHOCK
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
extinguish smouldering or burning food inside the
oven with water. In this case serious accidents may be
caused by electric shock.

7 How to operate your microwave oven
( FIG. B )
1. The controls offer user-friendly operation so that you
can quickly familiarise yourself with your appliance and
can optimise your use of it after studying the
aforementioned and following guidelines and regulations
in detail.
Operating tasks are thus restricted to settings:
desired cooking mode
desired cooking time
2. You can pause operation at any time by:
Pressing the door opening key
(not all models are equipped with)
respectively opening the oven door
The timer will stop automatically and resumes its
operation as soon as the oven door is firmly closed again
or: Resetting the timer to "0"
3. Setting the operating mode (power level)
Set the respective function symbol (FIG.B) according to
the required power level.
Each level corresponds e.g.
to around 150 W if the appliance has a total capacity of
750 W or
to around 160 W if the appliance has a total capacity of
8OO W
The operating mode switch can also be set between the
levels, if your cooking recipe recommends a lower or
higher wattage.
4. Setting the cooking time
Timer
(FIG. B )
By turning the timer clockwise you can set the cooking
time up to max. 30 Min. respectively 60 Min. (depends on
Mod./Type)
Please make sure you do not turn the timer over its limit.
Caution ! The cooking process will immediately start
as soon as you move the timer from position " 0 " and
the oven door is shut. Therefore, leave the door open
and only close it when you have correctly entered all
settings.
If you wish to set the cooking time to less than the max.
time, turn the timer first to max. 30 / 60 min. and then
back to the desired cooking time. It will thus work more
acc
urately.
In most models a warning beeper will sound when the
timer has elapsed.
For cooking times longer than 30 / 60 min. you can
simply set the timer again when the first time period has
elapsed.
5. Defrosting
This function facilitates the thawing of frozen food.
First use the operating mode switch to select the
mode (Defrost)
Now set the timer according to the weight of the food
you wish to defrost.
