heated. Always observe the instructions
on the packaging. Always use oven gloves
to remove dishes from the cooking

■
Water in a hot cooking compartment may
create hot steam. Never pour water into
the hot cooking compartment.
Ris k of scalding!
■
There is a possibility of delayed boiling
when a liquid is heated. This means that
the liquid reaches boiling temperature
without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Even if the container only
vibrates a little, the hot liquid may
suddenly boil over and spatter. When
heating, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed
boiling.
Risk of injury!
■
Scratched glass in the appliance door
may develop into a crack. Do not use a
glass scraper, sharp or abrasive cleaning
aids or detergents.
Risk o f injury!
■
Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain
or ceramic ovenware can have small
perforations in the handles or lids. These
perforations conceal a cavity below. Any
moisture that penetrates this cavity could
cause the ovenware to crack. Only use
microwave-safe ovenware.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■ Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be
kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the
inside of the door.
■ Water in the cooking compartment when the cooking
compartment is hot: Never pour water into the cooking
compartment when the cooking compartment is hot. Steam
will be created. The temperature change can cause damage
to the ceramic floor panel.
■ Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance.
They damage the appliance by producing sparks.
■ Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking
compartment for long periods. This will damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to
corrosion.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the
cooking compartment to cool with the door closed. Do not
trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only
slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged
over time.
■ Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door
will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of
adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal
clean.
■ Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects
on: Do not stand or place anything on the open appliance
door. Do not place ovenware or accessories on the appliance
door.
■ Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot
support the weight of the appliance and could break.
■ Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment may lead
to overloading. Never switch on the appliance unless there is
food in the cooking compartment. An exception to this rule is
a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable
crockery").
■ Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too
high. Use a power setting no higher than 600 watts. Always
place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The disc may jump if
overloaded.
