WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
Unsuitable cookware may crack. Porcelain or
ceramic cookware can have small perforations
in the handles and lid. These perforations con-
ceal a cavity below. If moisture penetrates this
cavity, it could cause the cookware to crack.
Only use microwave-safe cookware.

cookware with metal edging may lead to
sparks being formed during simple microwave
operation. The appliance is damaged.
Never use metal containers during mi-
crowave-only operation.
Only use microwave-safe cookware or use
the microwave in combination with a type of
heating.
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
The appliance uses a high voltage.
Never remove the casing.
2 Preventing material damage

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 shat-
ter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative pres-
sure, the cooking compartment may become consider-
ably 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 inside
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. Al-
ways allow the cooking compartment to cool down
with the door closed after cooking at high temperat-
ures.
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.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer
close properly during operation. This may damage the
front of adjacent kitchen units.
Keep the seal clean at all times.
WARNING ‒ Risk of serious harm to
health!
Inadequate cleaning may destroy the surface
of the appliance, reduce its service life, and
lead to dangerous situations, such as escap-
ing microwave energy.
Clean the appliance on a regular basis, and
remove any food residue immediately.
Always keep the cooking compartment, door
seal, door and hinge clean.
"Cleaning and servicing", Page 54
Never operate the appliance if the cooking
compartment door or the door seal is dam-
aged. Microwave energy may escape.
Never use the appliance if the cooking com-
partment door, the door seal or the plastic
door frame is damaged.
Any repair work must only be carried out by
customer service.
Microwave energy will escape from appliances
that do not have any casing.
Never remove the casing.
For any maintenance or repair work, contact
the customer service.
Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or
missing.
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.
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 in-
side 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-
