IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES  
2
When using electrical appliances elementary  
precautionary measures must be adhered to  
for your safety, including:  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric  
shock, fires, injuries or excessive contact with  
microwaves:  
Read all instructions prior to use.  
Caution: Prior to consumption check the  
temperature in order to avoid life-threatening  
burns to the baby.  
• Use this appliance only according to its intended  
purpose and as directed in this manual. Do not  
use any corrosive chemicals or vapours for this  
equipment. This type of oven is designed especially  
for heating, cooking or drying foods. It is not  
designed for industrial use or use in laboratories.  
• Do not operate the microwave when empty.  
• Do not operate this appliance if damage is visible  
to the cable or plugs, if it does not operate properly  
or is damaged or has been dropped.  
• Cooking utensils may heat up from the heat exerted  
by the food and may have to be handled with an  
oven cloth only.  
Cooking utensils should be checked as to suitability  
for use in microwave ovens.  
WARNING: Maintenance and repair work which  
requires the removal of the cover which serves as  
protection against microwaves endangers the life of  
persons other than skilled staff.  
If the power cable is defect it must be replaced by  
the manufacturer or his maintenance partner or  
similarly qualified skilled staff so as to avoid any  
danger.  
• WARNING: Allow the unsupervised operation of the  
microwave by children only after carefully instructing  
them on how to operate the microwave to ensure

BEFORE CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICES  
EARTHING  
If the microwave is not working:  
The present appliance must be earthed. This oven  
is equipped with a cable featuring an earth lead with  
earth plug. This requires a specially installed and  
earthed wall connection. In the event of a short  
circuit the earthed connection prevents the risk  
of an electric shock via the discharge cable. It is  
recommended to use an independent electric circuit  
for the oven which supplies the oven only. The use  
of high voltage is dangerous and can cause fires and  
other accidents which may damage the oven.  
WARNING: The improper handling of the earth plug  
can lead to the risk of an electric shock.  
- Verify that the plug is correctly connected to the  
outlet. If not, completely disconnect the plug from  
the outlet, wait 10 seconds and then reconnect.  
- Check if a fuse has blown and if the voltage safety  
switch is still on. If both seem to operate correctly,  
test the outlet with another appliance.  
- Check if the control panel programming is correct  
and if the timer has been set.  
- Check if the door has been firmly closed, with the  
lock of the door engaged, otherwise the generation  
of microwaves in the oven is blocked.  
Note:  
If none of the above remedies the problem, contact  
the named customer services branch or a qualified  
expert. Do not attempt to modify or repair the  
appliance independently.  
If you have any questions regarding earthed  
connections or the electric instructions ask an  
electric expert or maintenance specialist.  
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept  
liability for damage to the oven or for personal injury  
resulting from the non-observance of the procedure  
for the electrical connections. The wires of this  
electric main can be identified according to the follo  
wing colour code:  
INSTALLATION  
Ensure that the packaging materials have been  
completely removed from the inside of the door.  
WARNING: Inspect the oven for damages such  
as a distorted or bent door, damaged door seals  
and seal surfaces, defect or loose door hinges and  
locks as well as grooves on the inside or on the  
door. If there is visible damage, do not operate the  
oven and consult a qualified maintenance expert.  
• This microwave must be placed on a level, stable  
base which can bear the microwave's own weight  
plus the heaviest food which most likely will be  
cooked in the microwave.  
Green and yellow = earth; blue = NEUTRAL  
brown = current bearing  
• Do not position the microwave at a location where  
heat, dampness or high humidity arise, and do not  
place it close to inflammable materials.

Technical Notes  
RADIO INTERFERENCE  
GUIDELINE ON COOKING DISHES  
Operating the microwave can lead to interference  
with your radio, television or similar equipment.  
In the event of such interference the following  
measures can help reduce or eliminate such  
interference:  
- Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.  
- Redirect the receiving antenna of the radio or  
television.  
- Place microwave at another place than where  
the receiver is.  
- Remove the microwave from the receiver.  
Plug the microwave into another outlet so that the  
microwave and receiver are supplied by a different  
leg of the power circuit.  
The ideal material for a microwave oven is  
microwave permeable, i.e. it allows energy to pass  
through the container in order to heat the food.  
Only use a temperature sensor recommended for  
this oven. Microwaves can not permeate metal.  
For this reason, do not use metal containers or  
metal dishes. Do not use any products made of  
recycled paper when heating in the microwave as  
they may contain minute metal fragments which  
may cause sparks and/or fires. It is recommended  
to use round/oval dishes instead of square/oblong  
dishes since food caught in the corners may easily  
boil away.  
COOKING WITH YOUR MICROWAVE  
• Arrange your food with consideration.  
• The thickest parts should be close to the edge.  
• Observe the cooking time. Select the shortest  
cooking time and extend it if need be. Food cooked  
excessively long can start smoking and ignite.  
• Cover the food while cooking with a lid. The lid will  
prevent the food from spattering and contributes  
to the even cooking of the food.  
Turn the food during microwave preparation once so  
that e.g. chicken or Hamburger dishes are more  
quickly cooked.  
• Large foods such as roast meat must be turned at  
least five times.  
The bottom table is a general guideline for choosing  
the correct dishes.

Defrosting  
The microwave is an ideal device for defrosting frozen foods quickly  
and evenly.  
9
The power output, defrosting and standing time settings must be selected  
to suit the consistency and quantity of the food to be defrosted.  
Microwaves always penetrate food from the outside and move towards  
the inside. Therefore the middle parts of particularly large pieces of food  
should not be fully defrosted as in doing this the outside layers may be  
burned.  
Freezing and  
defrosting –  
how it’s done …  
Correct defrosting starts with the original freezing. Take this into account  
and proportion the quantities as small as possible, flat and suited your  
household requirements. You should also take into account the size of the  
bowls or dishes in which you will be defrosting later in the microwave.  
The following defrosting table gives the defrosting times of some common  
foods. In addition to defrosting times, the table also gives standing times -  
all related to the quantity of food. During standing times, heat flows from  
the defrosted layers into the centre of the food, which may still be frozen,  
and thus temperature differences are evened out. Leave the frozen food  
inside or outside of the switched-off microwave during the standing time.  
The values given in the table are approximate only and variations may  
occur in practice. This can be caused by several factors to do with the  
food.  
To use the integrated DEFROST function.  
• Press the DEFROST button º.  
• Enter the defrosting time using the numerical keys ·.  
• Press the START button ¸.

Cooking  
A suitable bowl or dish with a lid must always be used to cook foods in a  
microwave where nothing to the contrary is indicated. The information on  
cooking relates to food at domestic refrigerator temperature. First of all,  
defrost the food before cooking. Note: the defrosting time can be between  
5 and 15 minutes for frozen vegetables (-18°C, approx. 300-450 g).  
Observe the instructions on the packaging. Prepare the vegetables by  
washing and cleaning them.  
10  
how it’s done …  
Cooking –  
Always observe the relevant cooking instructions. Some foods require  
liquid to be added (for vegetables normally 1-2 dessert spoonfuls (DS) per  
100 g), whilst others, e.g. cucumbers, onions, fungi and spinach, do not.  
On the other hand, other foods require to be stirred at least once during  
cooking.  
Cooking instructions  
are important  
Once again, as with defrosting, standing time is important. The time  
for temperature equalisation and the associated post-microwave further  
cooking period should be between 5 and 10 minutes.  
Leave the food inside or outside of the switched-off microwave during  
the standing time.  
Observe  
the standing times  
Herbs, spices and/or, if called for, a little butter can be added to the  
vegetables after the standing time.  
In the case of ready-made or frozen dishes, microwave cooking should  
follow the times given on the packaging.

Grilling  
Always use the metal stand where grilling is called for. In addition,  
a heat resistant plate must be placed under the stand. The plate is there  
to catch the juices, fat, stock and cooking debris given off by the food.  
11  
The grill function is intended for thin slices of meat, fish, rissoles,  
shashlyks, sausages or chicken pieces. Slices of toast or toasted bread  
rolls can be made using the grill (please refer to the TIPS section) as well  
as covered toasts (such as Hawaii toast).  
Grilling –  
how it’s done …  
You can select the grill function ² using the menu symbols - directly or  
with the quick select buttons ».  
For some foods or ways of cooking, you can use a combined process of  
cooking and grilling. This mode automatically selects the appropriate  
cooking and grilling times. For further details please read the section about  
COMBINED GRILLING AND MICROWAVING in the operating instructions  
supplied with the microwave.  
Prepare the food that you wish to grill exactly as normal. For example,  
descale fish and clean them. Rub poultry with seasoning and always cook  
chicken legs from the skinned side first.  
Turn the food after the first cooking time indicated.  
The 1st value given is the cooking tome for the first side; the 2nd value  
is for the second side to be cooked.  
Note: enter the times for the first and second sides separately.  
The values given in the following table are approximate only and variations  
may occur in practice. This can be caused by several factors to do with the  
food, e.g. temperature, shape).

Always use microwave-suitable bowls or dishes for defrosting, cooking etc.  
In most cases glass dishes are ideal for cooking.  
You should purchase some microwave-suitable dishes with lids in a range  
of sizes.  
Microwave-suitable  
cooking dishes  
You can make bread rolls crispy-fresh using the grill function ² on your  
microwave. Before crisping up, moisten the bread rolls with a little water.  
Crisp up the bread rolls for about 2-3 minutes depending on the type and  
size. So that the bread rolls are also “oven-fresh” inside, we recommend  
that you cut the rolls after the first grilling and crisp them again for 1-2  
minutes.  
Making bread rolls

Place the frozen pizza on to the metal stand without defrosting. Use  
the pizza function from the quick select buttons » and select from the  
appropriate preset weights. Pressing the pizza button once causes a  
weight of 150 g to appear; another press gives 320 g. Select the preset  
weight that is closest to the weight of your pizza and press START ¸. After  
the automatic cooking period has elapsed, if necessary you can extend the  
cooking time of the pizza by using the grill function ². This can sometimes  
be required if your pizza is heavier than the preset weight.
