PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
Do not attempt to operate this oven
with the door open since open-door
operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the
oven front face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is
damaged. It is particularly important
that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent), (2) hinges and
latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
Items not suitable for use in the
microwave oven: metal
containers, aluminum foil, cutlery,
dishware with metal decoration, crystal
glass containing lead, bowls with a
knurled rim, non-temperature safe
plastic dishware, wooden dishware,
metal clips, wire twist ties, food
containers with metal coverings or
residues of it.
Danger of machine damage and fire
hazard.
The provided combi rack is specially
designed for the wavelength of the
microwaves and use for the oven.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended when heating food in
disposable, e.g. plastic, paper,
combustible materials.
See "Dishware for Microwave / Plastics".
Do not heat food in the oven in a
heat retaining packaging, e.g. take
out food bags.
The packaging contains a thin layer of
aluminum foil which reflects the
microwaves. This reflected energy can
cause the paper layer to ignite.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Before serving food remember to
allow a sufficient standing time.
Always check the temperature of the
food itself after taking it out of the
microwave. Do not judge by the plate
temperature. The heat is created in the
food, the dishes may stay cool to the
touch.
Always check the temperature
before serving heated baby food.
After heating the baby food, stir or
shake the food, then test it.
To check on the food temperature
open the oven door. Use a special
food thermometer to measure the food
temperature. Do not use thermometers
containing mercury or liquids since they
are not suitable for high temperatures
and break easily.
Never cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers or
bottles. Remove the nipple or cap from
baby bottles before heating it in the
microwave. Built-up pressure may
cause them to burst. Danger of injuries.
The combi rack will get hot when
used in the microwave. Danger of
burns.
When heating liquids, the provided
boiling wand should be placed into
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,
in the oven without the boiling wand,
the boiling point of the liquid may be
reached without the production of
typical bubbles. The liquid does not
boil evenly. This ‘boiling delay" can
cause a sudden build up of steam
bubbles, when the container is
removed from the oven or shaken. This
can lead to the liquid boiling over
suddenly and explosively. Danger of
burning!
The built-up pressure may force the
oven door open. This could result in
injury or damage. The boiling wand
ensures that the liquid boils evenly and
that steam bubbles form at an early
stage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device.
Hard-boiled eggs should not be
reheated in the microwave oven. The
eggs may burst, even when they have
been removed from the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if
the yolk membrane has been
punctured first. The pressure could
otherwise cause the egg yolk to
explode. Danger of injuries.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages and
potatoes should be pierced or the skin
cut in several places before cooking to
allow steam to vent and prevent the
food from bursting.
Do not use dishware with hollow
handles or lid knobs. Moisture can
get into the hollow parts. (The hollow
parts of some dishware can be vented.)
Danger of built-up pressure and the
explosion of the hollow parts may
cause injuries.
Traditional functions:
Convection Plus, Auto Roast, Broil,
Convection broil
Caution! Danger of burns!
When using traditional functions the
oven interior gets very hot.
Do not allow children to touch or to
play in, on or near the oven when it
is in operation. The oven gets hot at the
oven door glass, the vapor vent, the
handle and the operating controls.
Danger of burns.
Use pot holders when working with
a hot appliance. Especially the
upper heating element gets extremely
hot when using the functions broil and
convection broil. Danger of burning!
Allow the heating element to cool
to the touch before attempting to
lower it for cleaning the oven. Danger of
burns.
Do not use force to lower the upper
heating element. It may get
damaged.

Microwave function
Microwave cooking offers the benefits
of speed, convenience and nutritional
advantages when food does not require
browning or crisping.
The following microwave power settings
are available:
–At an electrical connection of 240V:
80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,
850 W und 1000 W.
– At an electrical connection of 208 V:
80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W
und 850 W.
They are shown in a bar. The full bar
shows the maximum power. If only two
segments are shown the minimum
power is displayed.
How it works
In a microwave oven there is a
high-frequency tube called a
magnetron. This converts electrical
energy into microwaves. The
microwaves are evenly distributed in
the onven interior and are also reflected
from the metal walls. The microwaves
reach from all sides on and into the
food.
The cookware must be conductable for
microwaves so they can reach the food.
The microwaves conduct porcelain,
glass, carton, plastic but no metal. Do
not use containers made of metal, or
which contain metal, for example in the
form of gold or silver trim, see "Suitable
cookware for microwave ovens". The
metal reflects the microwaves and this
could lead to sparks. The microwaves
cannot be absorbed.
The microwaves penetrate through the
container directly into the food.
All food contains moisture molecules
which, when subjected to microwave
energy, start to oscillate 2.5 billion 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 center.
The moisture content of food will affect
the speed at which it is cooked.
As heat is produced directly in the
food,
– food can generally be cooked
without adding much liquid or
cooking oil.
– defrosting, reheating and cooking in
a microwave oven is quicker than
using traditional oven methods.
– nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
–color, texture and taste of food are
not impaired.
The microwave procuction is stopped
once the process is interrupted or the
door is opened.
During the process the closed, intakt
door provides a sufficient protection of
microwaves.
Functions

Traditional oven functions
–Convection Bake
–Auto Roast
–Broil
–Convection Broil
–Defrost
These cook and brown the food.
Convection Bake
This system works by the circulation of
heated air.
It takes in the air, heats it over a ring
heating element and fans it back
through the openings in the back panel.
Since the heat reaches the food
immediately, there is no need to
preheat the oven.
Execption: Preheat the oven when
roasting roast beef / tenderloin or when
baking dark bread.
The Convection Plus function allows to
bake on two levels at the same time.
Auto Roast
Auto Roast heats the oven to a high
temperature to sear the meat, retaining
moisture and tenderness. The oven
temperature then automatically returns
to the preselected setting.
Broil
As the element needs to radiate a high
heat in order to cook the food, it will
glow red hot several minutes after
being turned on and produce sufficient
infra-red heat for broiling. Pre-heat the
oven with the oven door closed for
approx. 5 minutes before starting to
cook.
Convection Broil
The hot air from the grill is distributed
over the food by the fan on the rear wall
of the oven. This allows a lower
temperature to be selected than for
normal broiling.
Defrost
The warm air is distributed over the
food by the fan on the rear wall of the

Microwaves
–are reflected by metal,
– pass through glass and chinaware,
–are absorbed by the food.
For microwaving the food, set the
glass tray always on the first runner
level from below. If the food is set
directlly on the oven bottom it will not
defrost/cooked/heated evenly since
the microwaves can’t reach the food
from below.
Set the food, bowls, plates, etc. in
the middle of the glass tray.
Material and shape
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooking results and times.
Circular and oval containers work best.
The food will heated more evenly that in
square container.
Metal
Do not use metal containers,
aluminum foil, cutlery and dishes
with metal decor for microwaving.
The metal reflects the microwaves
which can damage the microwave
oven.
Selecting cookware for microwave ovens
36
Exceptions:
–Pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil
containers can be defrosted and
reheated in the microwave oven.
Important: Remove the lid before
heating the food.
The food is heated only from above.
To heat the food evenly place it in a
container suitable for microwaving.
–For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of
meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of
aluminium foil may be used to mask
wing-tips or other thin parts for the
last few minutes of the process.
Make sure that the aluminium foil is
at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the
oven walls at all times. It must not
touch the walls.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
should only be used if they are very
small in comparison to the size of the
cut of meat.
The enclosed combi rack is suitable for
microwaving. Do not set it on the
interior bottom.
The combi rack gets hot.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Crystal glass contains lead and
glass bowls with a waved rim could
cause the glass to crack. Both are
unsuitable.
Porcelain (chinaware)
Porcelain (chinaware) is a suitable
material.
Do not use porcelain with gold or
silver edging or items with hollow
knobs or handles, as insufficient
ventilation may cause pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Earthenware can get very hot, and
may crack.
Glazes and colors
Some glazes and colors contain
metallic substances. They are not
suitable for the microwave.

Plastic dishes made from melamine is
not suitable. It gets hot during cooking.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from styrofoam, can only be used
for very short timed warming and
reheating of food.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and re-heating.
They should be pierced beforehand
so that steam can escape. This
prevents a build-up of pressure and
reduces the risk of the bag bursting.
Roasting bags and -tubes
can be used. Roasting tubes should be
about 15 inches (40 cm) longer and
roasting bags about 7 inches (20 cm)
longer than the food being roasted, and
carefully tied with string. Turn the ends
over and secure them. Holes should be
pierced according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use metal clips or wire ties,
even if bound by paper.
Fire hazard!
Wood
Wooden containers are not suitable.
The water from the wood evaporizes
during the cooking process. The wood
dries out and cracks.
Disposable containers
Only those plastic disposable
containers specified under "Plastics"
are suitable for use in a microwave
oven.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when re-heating or cooking food in

Any cookware which causes this
reaction is unsuitable for use in the
microwave oven.
If in doubt about the suitability of
containers, please contact the
supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use in a
microwave oven.

Covering the food
A cover
–prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
–shortens and evens out the cooking
process.
–avoids a dry up of the food.
–prevents any loss of aroma.
–prevents soiling of the oven interior.
Cover the food for microwaving with a
glass or plastic lid suitable for
microwave ovens. They are available in
retail stores.
Plastic wrap suitable for microwaving
can be used. Unsuitable clingfilm can
melt into the food.
Do not heat food in closed
containers like baby food glass
container. Open the container before
heating.
Do not use a lid or cover if
–cooking meals which are to be given
a crisp finish, cooking breaded or
battered foods
–cooking food with a crisp finish, i.e.
toast.
– a combination function is selected.
Use the cover only for
Microwave-Solo. The plastics is only
heat-resistant up to 230 °F (110 °C).
Higher temperatures (Broiling,
Convection Plus, etc.) can cause the
cover to melt into the food.
The cover should not seal the
container. Smaller container
diameters prevent the steam from
escaping. The cover might melt.

The microwave is useful for reheating
food.
To heat select
–for drinks a setting of 1000 W,
–for food a setting of 600 to 850 W.
–for baby food a setting of 450 W.
Take care that the baby food is at
eating temperature when served.
Heat baby food only for 30 seconds
to 1 minute on 450 Watt.
The respective automatic programs are
ideal for reheating.
Always use a lid or cover for re-heating
food, except when a drier finish is
needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.
Open glass containers before
reheating food.
Remove the lid of baby food glass
containers.
Remove the lid or nipple from baby
bottles before heating.
To heat a liquid insert the enclosed
boiling wand into the container.
Do not heat rehard boiled eggs,
even without the shell, in the
microwave oven. The eggs can
burst.
The time required depends on the food,
its initial temperature and the amount to
be cooked. Food taken straight from
the refrigerator requires longer to reheat
than food stored at room temperature.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
If in doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached,
continue reheating for a little longer.
Stir the food halfway through the
re-heating.
When using the Automatic program a
tone will sound as a reminder. Stir the
outer portion to the middle since the
rims are reheated faster.
After re-heating
Be careful when removing a dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
The cookware will not be heated by the
microwave (exception: heat-resistant
earthenware), but by the heat transfer
of the food.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at
room temperature once a programme
has ended to allow heat to be
distributed evenly. The temperatures
are adjusted.
After heating food, especially food
for babies and small children, stir
the food or shake the container and
check that the temperature does not
pose any danger. Double check
after it has been left to stand.

stored at room temperature.
Stir and turn food at least once during
cooking. At the Automatic program a
tone sound as a reminder.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as
tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes
and aubergines, should be pierced or
the skin cut in several places before
cooking to allow steam to vent and
prevent the food from bursting.
Boil eggs in shell only with a special
dish in the microwave. The eggs
might burst even when taken from
the oven. The special cookware is
availabe from retail stores.
Eggs can be cooked without their shells
in the microwave oven only if the yolk
membrane has been punctured several
times first. The pressure could
otherwise cause the egg yolk to
explode.

To defrost, heat and cook at the same
time use
–the function Microwave,
–the combination function
Microwave + Broil
The function Microwave is suitable for
frozen food, which does not require
browing.
The combined functionis
recommended for already cooked
dishes, which are supposed to be
gratinated and browned.
Function Microwave
Frozen meals can be defrosted and
then re-heated or cooked. Consult the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a covered microwave-safe
dish for defrosting and re-heating or
cooking. Soups and vegetables should
be stirred several times during the
process. Separate slices of meat
half-way through the program. Turn
pieces of meat and fish at the half-way
stage.
Frozen meals in cardboard trays which,
according to manufacturer’s
instructions are suitable for use in a
traditional oven, are microwave-safe.
Combination functions
The function Microwave + Broil is
recommended for frozen meals which
require browning. Select a microwave
power setting of 450 W. The oven
automatically sets a default broiling
temperature which cannot be changed.
Insert the frozen meal in a
heat-resistant, microwave-safe
cookware and set it on the glass tray.
Set the glass tray in the second runner
level. Do not cover the food.
Frozen foods in an aluminum tray must
be set directly on the glass tray.
If the food is not sufficiently browened,
set the aluminium tray on the combi
rack and set it with the glass tray in the
first runner level.
Defrosting and re-heating / cooking
49
To broil use the functions Broil,
Convection broil and the combi
functions Microwave + Broil and
Microwave + Convection Broil.
The function Broil is designed for flat
food like pork chops, steak, burgers,
toast and grilled toasts.
The function Convection Broil is
designed for broiling food with a larger
diameter like shish kebab, roasts and
poultry.
The combined functions allow an
additonal microwave power setting of
450 W over the total broiling time.
Preparing the food for broiling
Rinse meat with cold flowing water and
pad dry. Do not salt slices of meat.
Lean meat can be basted with oil.
Other fats tend to become dark or
smoke. Chicken can be basted with
butter.
Clean and salt flat fish and fish slices
as usual and sprinkle with lemon juice.
Broiling
Broiling is done with a fixed setting.
There is no temperature setting
possible.
Before broiling, preheat the broiling
heating element for 5 minutes with the
door closed.
Do not add the Microwave function.
To broil baste the combi rack with oil
and place the food on it.
The slices should be evenly thick so
that the broiling time is the same.
Insert the glass tray with the combi rack
depending on the food in the second or
third runner level.
The rack can be used depending on
the food height to allow an optimum
distance to the upper heating element.
Turn broil good at the half-way stage.
Convection Broil
Usually the first level runner from the
bottom is suited best. When in doubt
insert the rack here. To increase the
ventilation below the food, the rack
should be turned upside down. The
second runner level can be selected for
very flat food.
Testing the food
To test how far the food is cooked,
press down with a spoon.
–If it is very elastic, it is rare.
–If it is slightly elastic, it is medium.
–If it is not elastic at all, it is well done.

To roast use
–the function Auto Roast,
–the combination function
Microwave + Auto Roast
Meat and Poultry will brown with the
Auto Roast function.
The roasting time is shortend when the
combined functions are selected.
The combination function is not suitable
for roast beef and tenderloin. The meat
will be cooked before it gets brown.
Do not preheat the oven.
Exeption: Pre-heat the oven to the
temperature recommended in the
recipe when cooking roast beef or
tenderloin.
Roasting in a closed pot is the most
suitable because:
– The moisture is retained and the
meat stays tender.
– The oven interior stays cleaner as
with broilin on the combi rack.
–There will be enough stock to cook
gravy.
Take the lid off after half of the roasting
time to allow the meat to brown.
Auto Roast
Insert the glass tray with the combi rack
on the first runner level.
Suitable cookware:
Casserole, Roasting tray, heat resistant
glass casserole, earthen cookware. The
cookware must have heat-resistant
handles.
Set the cookware direktly on the glass
tray.
The roasting time depends on the type,
size and thickness of the meat.
How to determine the roasting time:
Hight of the roast x times per
centimeter (see table for the respective
meat)
Meat Time
per centimeter
height
Beef / Game 15 – 18 Min.
Pork / Veal / Lamb 12 -15 Min.
Roast beef / Tenderloin 12 -15 Min.
Example:
Roast beef, 8 cm thick
8 x 15 min per cm = 120 min. roasting
time
The larger the cut of meat to be
roasted, the lower the temperature that
should be used. Set a 50 °F (10 °C)
lower temperature for 6 lbs and higher.
The roasting process will take a little
longer, but the meat will be cooked
evenly and the outside will become
crisp.
Roasting on the rack takes a 68 °F
(20 °C) lower temperature that roasting
in the pot.
Turn the rack upside down on the glass
tray.
Use the specified roast temperatures.
When the temperature is too high, the
meat will brown but not cook.
Roasting
52
Microwave + Auto Roast
Insert the glass tray with the combi rack
on the first runner level.
Use only heat resistant cookware, but
without a metal lid. Microwaves do not
go through metal and will not reach the
food.
Using roasting foil
–measure the foil 40 cm longer than
the meat or poultry
–Close it tightly with string. See
"Suitable cookware for microwave
ovens"
When using Auto Roast set an
additional microwave setting for the
total roasting time.
– For meat and fish a microwave
setting of 300 W.
– Poultry a setting of 150 W.
After roasting
Take the food from the oven and wrap it
in aluminum foil. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
When carving the food, there will be
less juice.
Tips for roasting
Roasting in a covered pot
Season the meat and place in the pot.
Add some butter, margarine or a little
oil. Add about 1/2 cup of water when
roasting a large cut of meat or roasting
poultry with a high fat content.
The browning is done by the end of the
roasting time. The meat gets an
intensive browning, when the lid is
taken off 15 - 20 minutes before the end
of roasting.
Roasting on the rack
Add a little oil to very lean meat or
place a few strips of bacon on top to
help retain moisture.
Do not add too much liquid during
roasting. The browining of the meat will
be hindert.
Roasting poultry
For crispy skin, baste the poultry ten
minutes before the end of cooking with
salt water.
Roasting deep frozen meat
Deep frozen meat up to 3 lbs (1.5 kg)
can be roasted in Auto Roast without
defrosting. The roasting time will extend
for about 20 minutes.
Roasting
53
The oven comes equipped with a roast
probe.
The roast probe allows you to monitor
the cooking temperatures.
The roast probe tip measures the core
temperature of the meat. When the
temperature is reached the oven
heating is automatically turned off.
The roast probe can be used during the
following functions:
–Auto Roast
– Convection Plus
– Microwave (Solo and Combination)
Using the roast probe
^Prepare the meat.
^Insert the roast probe completely
into the food so that the tip reaches
the core.
Poultry: Insert the roast probe tip in
the thickest part of the breast.
Please note
The meat can be put in a pot or on the
rack with the glass tray. When using
broiling bags, insert the roast probe
through the foil into the meat core.
Fat and bones might impair the
measuring and can cause the oven to
turn off. Therefore the tip should not
touch bones and should not be
inserted at fatty parts of the meat.
Select the higher core temperature in
the roast table for meat with a high fat
content.
Using the roast probe
54
^Insert the food in the oven.
^Plug the roast probe into the outlet
until it clicks.
^Close the appliance door.
^Select the desired function.
The display shos the oven default
temperature and the default core
temperature.
^If desired adjust the oven default
temperature.
^Select "Core temperature" and adjust.
The core temperatured needed
depends on the food to be cooked. See
the roasting table for more information.
The rising core temperatue can be
monitored in the display during an
ongoing cooking process.
The cooking time results automatically.
Once the selected core temperature
is reached:
–the display shows "Finished".
–a signal tone sounds.
–the oven turns off automatically.
–the cooling fan stays on.
Note
A delayed start is possible.
After roasting the meat, cover the food
for about 10 minutes with aluminum foil.
During this time the core temperature
will rise by 41 - 50 °F (5 - 10 °C).
Insert the roast probe in another part
and repeat the process if
– the roast probe tip does not reach
the meat core (at large cuts of meat).
– the meat is not cooked to your
desire.
The time for the temperature monitored
roasting is comparable with the time at
time depending roasting.

To bake use
–function Convection Plus
–the combination function Microwave
+ Convection Plus
The function Convection Plus is
suitable for cookies, sponge cakes, puff
pastry, etc.
The combined function is suitable to
bake dough with a longer baking time
like yeast or sponge dough.
Function Convection Plus
Bake cakes in a form on a first runner
level from the bottom. Turn the rack
upside down on the glass tray to
ensure airflow for the convection.
When baking cookies or cakes on a
cookie sheet, select the 2nd runner
level from the bottom to get an even
browning.
Use the 2nd and 3rd level for baking
several trays at the same time.
Every heat-resistant material of
bakeware is suitable.
Shiny, thin pans are not recommended.
Do not select a too long baking time.
Cookies might dry up if baked too long.
Combination functions
^Insert the glass tray with the cake
form into the first level runner.
Suitable bakeware: heat-restistant glass
or ceramic so microwaves could get
through the material. Metal cake forms
reflect microwaves. Microwaves will
reach the cake only from the top which
will extend the baking time.
Metal cake forms can lead to sparking.
Set the form in the middle of the glass
tray, so that the form does not touch the
side walls.
If sparking occurs, do not use the form
for the combination function.
Baking
57
Do not use baking forms from paper
coated with aluminum foil (for
example from cake mixtures). This is
a fire hazard.
Set an additional microwave setting for
the total baking time. The microwave
power should not be more that 150 W.
Tips for baking
Regard the information about
temperature, microwave power,
runner levels and times given in the
baking table.
Different cake forms, dough portions
and baking habits are considered.
Set square cake forms horizontal in
the oven. The heat will be distributed
evenly in the cake form.
The gently treatment of food serves
your health.
Cake, Pizza, French fries should be
baked golden-yellow not dark
brown.
Tips for gentle cooking and even
browning
Cakes, cookies, deep frozen products
such as french fries, frozen cakes,
pizzas and baguettes are gently
cooked and browned
– if the lower temperature of the
recipe/packaging info is selected.
Select the temperature not higher
that the recipe/packaging. Higher
temperatures shorten the baking
time, but will affect the browning
degree.
The food could not be fully cooked.
– When the shortest baking time is
elapsed, check if the food is done.
Test cakes and cookies by sticking a
toothpick in the dough. If no dough is
sticking on the toothpick the food is
done.
–Line the cookie sheet with
parchment paper when cooking
greasy food like french fries.

Function Convection Plus
^Set the jars on the glass tray and
insert it on the first runner level.
^Select a temperature of 302 - 338 °F
(150-170 °C).
This temperature setting is valid until
bubbling occurs. Five 1 pint jars need
about 30-40 minutes before bubbling
occurs.
When bubbling occurs
Fruit
^Continue canning for 25 - 30 minutes
but use the residual heat.
^Leave the selected function but
select the lowest temperature.
This ensures that the cooling fan
continues to work and no moisture is
collected in the oven interior.
Vegetables
^Lower the temperature to 212 °F
(100 °C) and continue to cook the
vegetables:
Asparagus, carrots for 60 - 90 minutes
Peas for 90 - 120 minutes

Interior, door inside
The interior and the door inside are
hot after use.
Danger of burns!
Let the oven cool and clean the
interior, the door inside and the
gasket. Clean the oven after every
use, accumulated soiling makes
cleaning more difficult and could
lead to damages of the appliance.
Check the door and door seal at
regular intervals for any sign of
damage.
Do not use the Microwave function if
the door or gasket is damaged. Call
the Technical Service.
The interior is made of stainless steel.
Due to the high temperatures in the
traditional functions the stainless steel
can darken.
Clean the interior, the door inside and
the door gasket with a sponge and a
solution of warm water and non
abrasive liquid detergent. Dry with a
soft cloth.
Hard to clean soiling: Heat a glass of
water 2 - 3 minutes in the oven until the
water boils. The steam condenses at
the interior walls and soaks the soiling.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads or steel wool on any
part of the oven. They will damage
the surfaces. When using caustic
(oven) cleaners read the instructions
of the manufacturer and do not
spray it in the openings.
Avoid too much water as this could
penetrate the openings.
To neutralize odors in the microwave
put a cup of water with some lemon
juice in the oven and simmer for a few
minutes.
Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed while the
oven or tray is still warm.
Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discoloration of the surfaces.

Frequently asked questions
66
Why is there uneven browning?
^Possible fault
–Oven temperature too high.
–Shiny or thin pans were used. Shiny
or thin pans were used.
Why does the food cool so fast when
heated or cooked with Microwave?
In the microwave oven, food begins to
cook from the outside first, the inside of
the food relying on the slower
conduction of heat.
If food is cooked at a high power level it
is possible that the heat may not have
reached the center of the food. At the
temperature equalization time the food
will become hot in the inside and cools
at the outside.
When heating a menu, select a lower
power setting and a longer time.
Why are there strange noises when
the microwave oven is being used?
^Possible fault
–Sparks are created by the use of
dishware with a metallic finish. See
"Selecting cookware for microwave
ovens".
–The food is covered with aluminium
foil. Remove the aluminum foil.
If the fault could not be fixed, call
the Technical Service.
Do not open the casing of the
appliance.
The appliance must be repaired by
a qualified service technician.
