INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new microwave oven, please read
through these instructions carefully before using it for the fi rst
time. Take particular note of the safety precautions. We also
recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference,
so that you can remind yourself of the functions of the microwave
oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General
• The microwave oven may only be used for its original
purpose, i.e. for preparing food for domestic purposes.
• The microwave oven is for indoor use only.
• Always follow the instructions in the "Tips for food
preparation" and "Using utensils when preparing food"
sections.
• Do not switch the microwave oven on when it is empty.
In order for the microwave oven to be able to absorb
microwaves, there must be something in it (food), otherwise
it may be damaged. If you would like to practise using the
various functions, place a cup of water inside the microwave
oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven if the turning ring and glass
turntable are not installed.
• On the right-hand side of the oven compartment there is a
mica plate (resembles cardboard); this must not be removed.
• Do not use the microwave oven if the safety locking system is
not functioning, which means that the microwave oven could
be switched on even if the door is not closed. If the door is
open, you risk being exposed to microwave radiation.
• Do not use the microwave oven if there are cleaning agent
residues inside it.
• Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the appliance
when it is in use. Children must not be allowed to use the
microwave oven unless supervised by an adult.
• Never try to repair the microwave oven yourself.
• If the microwave oven, cord or plug needs to be repaired,
it should be taken to an authorised service centre.
Unauthorised repairs or modifi cations to the appliance will
invalidate the guarantee. Please contact the store where you
bought the device for repairs under guarantee.
Positioning the microwave
• Do not block or cover any vent holes on the microwave oven.
• Do not place the microwave oven or the cord near hot areas,
for example gas rings and electric hotplates.
• Do not remove the feet of the microwave oven.
• This oven is designed to be freestanding. Always ensure the
vent holes on top of the cabinet are not covered. If they are
covered while the microwave oven is in use, there is a risk of
it overheating. The microwave oven cannot then be used until
it has cooled down.
Using the microwave oven
• Do not use the microwave oven if the cord or plug is
damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been
damaged by a heavy impact or similar.
• When using combination cooking the microwave oven can
get very hot.
• Never cook food directly on the glass turntable; always use a
suitable container.
Important safety measures when preparing food!
• If using the microwave oven to heat baby food or liquids in a
feeding bottle, you must always stir the food/liquid and check
the temperature thoroughly before serving. This ensures that
the heat is evenly distributed and avoids scalding injuries.
• The lid and/or teat must not be fi tted on a feeding bottle when
it is placed in the microwave oven.
• If some foods are heated too long, they may char and give
off smoke. If this happens, you should leave the oven door
closed and switch off the microwave oven completely.
• Some foods with low water content, e.g. chocolate in squares
and pastries with a sweet fi lling, should be heated carefully,
otherwise they or the container may be ruined.
Fire hazard!
• To reduce the risk of fi re occurring in the oven compartment,
please note the following points:
• Do not cook food for too long or at too high a temperature,
and do not leave the microwave oven unattended if paper,
plastic or other fl ammable materials have been used in the
microwave oven with a view to reducing cooking times.
• Metal clips and lids/fi lm containing metallic threads can
cause sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be
removed.
• Never heat oil or fat in the microwave oven.
• If materials in the microwave oven catch fi re, leave the door
closed. Switch the microwave oven off immediately, and
remove the plug from the wall socket.

PREPARING THE MICROWAVE OVEN
Each individual microwave oven is checked at the factory, but
for safety’s sake, after unpacking the oven, you should check
carefully that the microwave oven has not been damaged during
transport. Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in
the form of dents or similar), that the oven door closes properly,
and that the hinges are in order. If it appears that the microwave
oven has been damaged, you must contact the shop where
you bought it, and do not use it until it has been checked by an
authorised specialist.
Before using the microwave oven, you should check that you
have removed all packaging from it both inside and outside.

bearing its weight (33.29 lb). There must be a clearance of at
least 3.94 in at the rear of the microwave oven, 1.97 in at the
