Initial operation and use

Important information

• Never use the microwave when empty, i.e. without items to be cooked

insider.

• Only use the accessories that are enclosed or described as suitable in

these instructions.

• Never use dishes with metal trimmings, metal utensils or the grill stand

in microwave mode as this could damage the appliance.

• After cooking with the grill the rotating table will become very hot!

Therefore always use oven gloves or protective cloth when removing

food.

• Use only microwave-suitable dishes. Look for markings such as

"Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave".

• When warming up meals in plastic or paper containers it is necessary

to monitor the container constantly because of the risk of fire.

• Do not remove any of the microwave's internal panels or the inner

coating of the viewing window as this could lead to microwave

radiation leakage.

• Never leave the appliance unattended during operation.

WARNING!

When heating liquids in the microwave so-called "delayed boiling" can

occur, i. e. the liquid has reached boiling temperature without beginning

to bubble as boiling liquids normally do.

Agitation, for instance when removing the liquid from the appliance, can

lead to a sudden boiling up of the liquid. Therefore take care when

moving the liquid container.

There is a risk of scalding!

Always place a glass or ceramic rod in liquids that are to be heated up.

This will hinder sudden, belated boiling of the liquid.

6

• Never heat up food in closed containers as these could easily explode.

Therefore always remove the seal on bottles and closable containers

such as baby’s bottles.

• With foods that have a firm skin, e. g. sausages or tomatoes, make

small slits in the skin so that they do not burst during cooking.

• Do not try to heat up eggs in their shells or pre-boiled eggs unless in

specially designed microwave-suitable containers.

WARNING!

Eggs which are already boiled can explode, even after being removed

from the oven.

• After heating, stir the food if possible to ensure even temperatures,

otherwise let the food stand in the appliance for a short time.

• Check the temperature before eating food cooked in the microwave.

Special care must be taken with baby food and bottles. Always stir or

shake the baby food before checking the temperature to avoid burns.

Faults

• Protect the device and the mains cable against damage.

• Check the mains cable and the device for damage before

each use.

• Do not use the device under any circumstances if you have established

damage. Pull the mains cable out of the socket with the plug

immediately in this case.

• Have a defective device repaired immediately by a qualified specialist

workshop and get a damaged mains cable replaced at once or use the

Medion service, in order to avoid damage.

WARNING!

It will be dangerous for all individuals, apart from an individual trained

to do so, to carry out servicing or repair work requiring the removal of

the housing, which ensures protection against radioactive damage by

microwave energy.

7

Español English Deutsch

• You must absolutely keep the door closed and switch the device off

immediately with the Stop/Cancelar button if smoke develops, in

order to avoid flames arising or to stifle flames already present.

• Pull the plug out of the socket immediately after this

WARNING!

You must not use the device under any circumstances in the case of

damage to the housing, the covers, the door or the door opening. Have

the device repaired by a suitably qualified workshop or contact the

Medion service, in order to avoid danger.

• Also pay attention that the device is not located too close to a source

of heat or in an area where it could come into contact with water.

About microwaves

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves which have a

warming effect on the food within the oven. This heating effect is more

effective the higher the water content of the foodstuff.

To ensure optimal distribution of heat let food stand for a minute or two

after cooking.

The effect of microwaves on foodstuffs

• Microwaves penetrate foodstuffs to a depth of up to 3 cm.

• They heat up water, fat and sugar molecules (foodstuffs with higher

water content are heated more intensively).

• This heat then works its way – slowly – throughout the food and has a

defrosting, heating and cooking effect on the food.

• The cooking chamber and the air within are not heated (the food

container is heated mainly by the hot food).

• Each foodstuff requires a certain amount of energy to cook or defrost.

As a rule of thumb we can say high output – short time or low output

– long time.

The microwave functions

• A microwave generator, the so-called magnetron, generates the

microwaves and directs them into the cooking space.

• The inner walls reflect the microwaves inwards so that they cannot

escape from the interior.

• The microwave output and the cooking time can be set in several

steps.

• After the cooking time has elapsed, or when the door is opened, the

magnetron turns off immediately.

Notes on cooking food in the microwave

General notes

• To arrange food so that it cooks properly place the food with the

largest pieces towards the outer edge.

• Note the exact cooking or heating times.

• Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if

necessary.

WARNING!

Overcooked food can start to smoke or even catch fire.

• Cover food during cooking or heating with a cover that is suitable for

the microwave. Covering the food helps avoid splashes; furthermore

the food is more evenly cooked.

• Foods such as chicken pieces or hamburgers should be turned once

during cooking to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such as joints or

roasting chickens must be turn at least once.

• It is also important to reposition food, e.g. with meatballs. After half of

the cooking time is over the food should be repositioned from top to

bottom and from the middle to the outside.

10

Microwave-suitable materials

You can buy special dishes and accessories for your microwave. Look for

markings such as "Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave". You can

also use your existing dishes – if the material is suitable.

Suitable materials

• Porcelain, glass ceramic and heat-proof glass

• Plastics which are heat-proof and microwave-suitable (note: plastics

may become discoloured by foods or become warped by the heat)

• Baking paper

Caution

Do not use porcelain, ceramic or plastic containers in grill or grill combi

mode. Cling film should also not be used. Due to the very high

temperatures the materials could break, warp or even melt.

Materials that are partially suitable

• Stoneware and ceramics. Use clay containers only for defrosting and

for short cooking times because the air and water content of the

material could cause the clay to crack or break.

• Dishes with gold or silver décor should only be used when the

manufacture has labelled it "microwave-suitable".

• Aluminium foil. Never use aluminium foil in large quantities. It can

however be used in small pieces to cover sensitive parts. You can also

cover the corners of containers to prevent overcooking as the

microwave energy is primarily concentrated on the corners. Maintain a

distance of 2.5 cm between the foil and the internal wall.

• Aluminium dishes (e. g. for ready-made dishes) are suitable in some

circumstances but must be at least 2 cm high.

11

Español English Deutsch

Unsuitable materials

• Metal, i.e. metal pots, pans and lids.

Caution

Metal in the cooking space can lead to sparks! These can damage the

appliance or the viewing window! Therefore use the supplied grill only in

grill or combi mode.

• Dishes with metal parts (handles, decoration or bottoms) or with gold

or silver décor can also lead to sparks during microwave operation.

• Crystal or lead crystal can shatter, coloured glass may become

discoloured.

• Any materials which are not heat-proof can lose shape or even burn.

Note:

To test whether a dish is suitable for use in the microwave, put some water

in the container and place it in the microwave. Start the microwave by

pushing the button

twice. Check carefully whether the container is cooler

than the water. If the container is hotter than the water it is not suitable for

microwave use. Microwave suitable dishes are only warmed by the heat of the

food.

WARNUNG!

As soon as you notice sparks, flashes or even fire, turn off the microwave

immediately using the button

Stop/Cancelar.
