2 Preventing material damage
2.1 General
ATTENTION!
Alcoholic vapours may catch fire in the hot cooking
compartment and cause permanent damage to the ap-
pliance. The appliance door may spring open due to
an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may
shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative
pressure, the cooking compartment may become con-
siderably deformed inwards.
Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g.
▶
for marinating or pouring over food).
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
▶
when it is still hot.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
Always wipe away the condensation after cooking.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
▶
for a long time with the door closed.
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
▶
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over
time.
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
▶
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
▶
door.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
▶
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-
▶
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
▶
partment.

Microwave energy will escape from appli-
ances that do not have any casing.
▶ Never remove the casing.
▶ Contact our after-sales service if mainten-
ance or repair work is needed.
2.2 Microwave
Follow these instructions when using the microwave.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
▶
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
Placing aluminium containers in the appliance may
cause sparks, which will damage the appliance.
Do not use aluminium containers in the appliance.
▶
Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
▶
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in
immediate succession at a microwave power level that
is too high, the cooking compartment may be dam-
aged.
Leave the appliance to cool down for several
▶
minutes between each use.
Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶
Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶
Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
▶
Using unsuitable cookware may result in damage.
When using the grill or the microwave combined op-
▶
eration, only use cookware that can withstand high
temperatures.
