cloth and similar may

lead to risk of injury,

ignition or re.

When heating food in

containers, keep an eye

on the oven due to the

possibility of ignition.

Microwave heating of

beverages can result in

delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care must be

taken when handling the

container.

The contents of feeding

jars shall be stirred or

shaken and the

temperature checked

before consumption, in

order to avoid burns.

risk of re.

Do not use your

microwave oven for

deep-frying, because the

oil temperature cannot

be controlled.

If the appliance is

suitable for probe usage,

only use a temperature

probe recommended for

this oven (if present).

Use oven gloves to

remove pans and

ECO DESIGN DECLARATION

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

GENERAL

There are a number of accessories available on the

market. Before you buy, ensure that they are

suitable for microwave use.

Before cooking, ensure that the utensils you use

are oven proof and allow microwaves to pass

through them.

When you put food and accessories in the

microwave oven, ensure that they do not come in

contact with the interior of the oven.

This is especially important with accessories

made of metal or containing metal parts.

If accessories containing metal come into

contact with the oven interior while the oven is in

operation, sparking can occur and the oven could

become damaged.

Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn

freely before starting the oven.

TURNTABLE SUPPORT

Use the turntable support under

the glass turntable. Never put any

other utensils on the turntable

support.

• Fit the turntable support in the

oven.

GLASS TURNTABLE

Use the glass turntable with all

cooking methods.

It collects the dripping juices and

food particles that otherwise

would stain and soil the interior of

the oven.

• Place the glass turntable on the turntable

support.

BAKING PLATE

Use the baking plate when

cooking in forced air. Never use it

in combination with microwaves.

WIRE RACK

Use the high wire rack when

grilling using the grill functions.

Always use the low wire rack to

put food on, to allow the air to

circulate properly around the food

when using the Forced air

functions.

CRISP HANDLE

Use the special crisp handle

supplied to remove the hot Crisp

plate from the oven.

CRISP PLATE

Place the food directly on the

crisp plate. Always use the glass

turntable as support when using

the crisp plate.

Do not place any utensils on the

crisp plate, since it will quickly become very hot

and is likely to cause damage to the utensil.

The crisp plate may be preheated before use

(max. 3mins). Always use the Crisp function when

preheating the crisp plate.

STEAMER

Use the steamer with the

strainer in place for foods such as

sh, vegetables and potatoes.

Use the steamer without the

strainer in place for foods such as

rice, pasta and white beans.

Always place the steamer on the glass turntable.

COVER

The cover is used to cover food

during cooking and reheating with

microwaves only, and helps to

reduce spattering, retain food

moisture as well as reduce the time

needed.

Use the cover for two level

reheating.

“Doneness” is available in most of the auto

functions. You have the option to personally

control the end result using the “Adjust doneness”

feature. This feature enables you to achieve a

higher or lower end temperature compared to the

default standard setting.

When using one of these functions the oven

chooses the default standard setting. This setting

normally gives you the best result. However, if the

food you heated became too warm to eat at once,

you can easily adjust it before you use this function

the next time.
