Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. Before installation and before using the appliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important notes on installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system, such as an electric shock. This appliance must only be operated as a built-in appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Always remember that cooking times in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and eventually burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, grains etc., are dried in the microwave oven. Always ensure that this type of procedure is supervised.
Warning and Safety instructions Do not use the oven to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven could catch fire. When heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should be placed into the container. When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the oven ensure that the cable cannot get trapped in a hot oven door, which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Such items could be damaged, or cause a fire hazard. The rack supplied with the appliance is designed to be compatible with microwaves, and can therefore be used with or without the microwave function.
Warning and Safety instructions Wait until the element has cooled down before lowering it for cleaning. Do not use force to pull it down as this can cause the element to break. Bottling Bottling should only be undertaken by an experienced cook who has received proper training in this method of preserving fruit and vegetables in an oven or microwave oven, and understands the implications of the chemical reactions involved.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Operating modes Microwave h Microwave cooking offers the benefits of speed, convenience and nutritional advantages when food does not require browning or crisping. Functional description All food contains moisture molecules which, when subjected to microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand million times a second. The friction caused by this vibration creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and then slowly penetrates towards the centre.
Operating modes Traditional oven functions Combination programmes Fan Heat D Microwave + Fan Heat h + D Grill n Microwave + Grill h + n These cook and brown the food. The combination programmes enable the grill or the fan setting to be used in conjunction with the microwave facility. Fan Heat D The fan circulates heat constantly around the oven, giving a very even temperature throughout.
