Safety instructions

Precautions to avoid pissible expo-
sure to excessive microwave energy
• Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open
since this can result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to break or tamper with the
safety interlocks.
• Do not place any object between the oven front face
and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumu-
late on sealing surfaces.
If the appliance is not maintained in a good sta-
!
te of cleanliness, its surface could be degraded
and affect the lifespan of the appliance and
lead to a dangerous situation.

Causes of damage

• Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must
be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside
of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass
on the inside of the door.
• Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour wa-
ter into the hot cooking compartment. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage.
• Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed coo-
king compartment for long periods.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to
corrosion.
• Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the
cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do
not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door
is only slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be
damaged over time.
• Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appli-
ance door will no longer close properly during opera-
tion. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.
Always keep the seal clean.
• Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment
may lead to overloading. Never switch on the appliance
unless there is food in the cooking compartment.
An exception to this rule is a short crockery test (see
the section „Microwave, suitable crockery").

• WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the
oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by
a competent person.
• Using the appliance door for standing on or placing
objects on: Do not stand or place anything on the open
appliance door. Do not place ovenware or accessories
on the appliance door.
• Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot
support the weight of the appliance and could break.
• Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power
too high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts.
Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The
disc may jump if overloaded.
• Liquid that has boiled over must not be allowed to run
through the turntable drive into the interior of the appli-
ance. Monitor the cooking process. Choose a shorter
cooking time initially, and increase the cooking time as
required.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits removed since they may explode, even after
microwave heating has ended.
