Acrylamide may be carcinogenic.
Acrylamide is produced when starch is
exposed to excessive heat, e.g. in pota-
toes (fries, chips), biscuits, toast, bread
etc.
■ Keep cooking times as short as pos-
sible.
■ Only brown the food slightly, do not
allow it to brown too much.
■ Cut larger-sized fries and then bake
at maximum of 180 °C.
■ Brushing baked goods with egg
whites or egg yolks helps to reduce
the formation of acrylamides (only in
hot air mode).
Defrosting meat, poultry or fi sh in the
oven can cause dangerous microor-
ganisms (e.g. salmonella) to multiply
rapidly. This increases the risk of food
poisoning.
■ Do not defrost meat, poultry and fi sh
in the oven.
■ Only use the defrosting function to
defrost vegetables, pre-cooked food,
etc.
■ Take the frozen food out of the freez-
er ahead of time and let it defrost in
the refrigerator. The fl uid from the
frozen food must be able to properly
drain, otherwise harmful microorgan-
isms can form.
The water that melts during defrosting
can contain harmful bacteria, especial-
ly with meat and poultry.
Do not defrost meat, poultry and fi sh in
oven mode, only in microwave mode.
■ Avoid any physical contact.
■ Pour defrost water away. Do not use
it for any other purpose.
■ Thoroughly clean the crockery you
have used.
Risks in microwave and
microwave-combi mode
WARNING
Microwave hazard!
The cover in the cooking chamber
serves to protect the magnetron, which
emits the microwaves.
■ Never remove the cover inside the
cooking chamber!
A door that fails to close adequately
can cause microwave radiation to es-
cape. Under such circumstances, the
appliance may not be used.
■ If the door or door seals are dam-
aged, the oven must not be operated
until it has been repaired by a compe-
tent person.
■ It is hazardous for anyone other than
a competent person to carry out any
service or repair operation that in-
volves the removal of a cover which
gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
■ Pay particular attention to the clean-
liness of the door seals and door seal
faces along with all adjacent parts.
■ Never attempt to change the oven
light.
