Start-up and use
• Use the microwave oven only with the enclosed roller ring and turntable.
• Never operate the appliance without food in the cooking compartment.
• Only use the accessories enclosed or approved by us.
• Only use crockery specially suitable for microwave ovens.
• Never use crockery with metal decoration, metallic crockery or the grill
stand when operating the microwave oven in microwave mode, as this
could damage the appliance.
• Do not remove any covers of the microwave oven or the inner foil of the
inspection window as this could result in microwave radiation leaks.
• Never leave the appliance unattended during operation.
Note:
When heating liquids in the microwave oven, so-called boiling delay may occur,
i.e. the liquid is already at boiling temperature without the presence of the steam
bubbles typical for boiling. Vibrations, such as occur for instance during removal,
will result in the liquid suddenly boiling up.
Attention: There is a risk of scalding!
Therefore: When heating liquids it is imperative to place a glass or ceramic rod
into the vessel. This will prevent subsequent boiling up of the liquid.
• Never heat food in closed containers. It is also imperative to remove the lid of
bottles, e.g. when heating up baby food, since otherwise the bottle may easily
explode.
• In the case of food with a firm skin, such as sausages or tomatoes, score the
skin at various points prior to heating in order to avoid bursting of the food.
• Boil eggs only in microwave crockery specially provided for this purpose.
Do not heat hard-boiled eggs in the microwave.
Attention: Already boiled eggs can still burst even after removal from the
oven.
• After heating, mix the food if possible in order to achieve even temperature
distribution or allow it to cook for a short time longer.
• Prior to consumption, check the temperature of the foodstuff heated with the
microwave oven. Be particularly careful as far as baby food is concerned and
always stir or shake children’s food before checking the temperature in order
to avoid burns.
