catch of the microwave are damaged,
do not use the microwave under any
circumstances. Immediately remove the
plug from the earthed mains socket in
this case.
If you discover any damage, do not use
the microwave. Instead, please contact
the Service Centre.

NOTICE!
Possible material damage!
The use of unsuitable materials can cause
damage to the appliance or the material
itself.
Exclusively use the accessories supplied
or accessories which are described as
suitable in this user manual.
Do not use dishes with metal trimmings
or metal dishes as this may lead to sparks
that may damage the appliance and/or
the dishes.
As soon as you notice sparks or flashes,
turn the time control dial to 0 and unplug
the mains plug. Check whether there are
any metal objects in or on the food or
dish.
Do not use crystal or lead crystal glass. It
can shatter, and coloured glass may be-
come discoloured.
Do not use materials that are not heat-
proof. They may warp or may even catch
fire.
Use dishes suitable for microwave ov-
ens. Look for markings such as "micro-
wave-safe" or "For the microwave" when
purchasing dishes.
Prepare the food:
Poultry, pork, minced meat and all types
of fish are suitable for preparing in the
microwave. In contrast, beef and game
meats quickly become tough in the mi-
crowave and are therefore not suitable.
When preparing vegetables, meat and
fish, cut the food into as evenly sized
pieces as possible and cover it when
cooking.
Pull the door handle to open the micro-
wave door (11).
Place the food in a microwave-safe con-
tainer in the centre of the glass turntable
plate.
Close the microwave door until you hear
it click into place.
