Initial Operation

NOTE:
If there are any oil or other residues from the manufacturing
process on the housing or heating element, smoke or odours
may initially be produced. This is normal and will not occur
after the oven has been used a few times.
The following procedure is strongly recommended:
Turn the device to the grill function and allow it to run
•
several times without any food inside.
Please ensure suffi cient ventilation.
•
• After removing all the accessories from inside the oven, un-
pack them and place the sliding ring in the middle. Position
the glass plate on the drive axle in such a way that it locks
into the dents of the drive shafts and is lying fl at.
• Check the device for any visible damage, particularly in the
area of the door. If any damage is found, the machine must
not be used.
• In order to avoid interference to other machines when the
microwave oven is operated, do not place it in the direct
vicinity of other electronic devices.
• Remove any protective foils that may be adhered to the
housing.
• Insert the mains plug into a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz
power socket.
CAUTION:
Do not remove any installed parts from inside the oven or from
inside the door!

Using the Device

What you should know about microwave operation
• Your device works with microwave radiation, which heats up
water particles in food in a very short time. There is no heat
radiation and therefore hardly any browning.
• Only food should be heated up with this device.
• The device is not suitable for baking in fl oating fat.
• Only 1-2 portions should be heated up at the same time.
Otherwise the microwave will become less effi cient.
• Press the STOP/CLEAR button in order to interrupt the
cooking process.
• Microwaves provide their full energy levels immediately. Pre-
heating is therefore not necessary.
• Never operate the microwave function when the oven is
empty.
• The microwave oven does not replace your traditional
cooker. It is used mainly for:
• defrosting deep-frozen food
• rapid warming/heating of food or drinks
• cooking meals
• Please do not use any plastic or paper tableware.

Operating the Microwave

1. Place the food to be heated up into suitable tableware.
2. Open the door and place the vessel in the middle of the
glass plate. Then close the door. (For safety reasons the
device only works when the door is fi rmly closed.)
3. Press the STOP/CLEAR button. Select the desired micro-
wave power by pressing the MICRO./GRILL/COMBI. button
once or several times.

4. Press the START/+30SEC./CONFIRM button to confi rm
your selection.
5. Use the rotating button to set the desired cooking duration
between 5 seconds and 95 minutes.
6. Press the START/+30SEC./CONFIRM button to start the
machine. The length of cooking depends on the quantity
and consistency of the contents. With a little practice you will
soon learn to estimate the cooking time.
NOTE:
Cooking in the microwave oven is very much faster than
in a standard cooker. If you are not sure, set the cooking
time to low and continue cooking afterwards if necessary.
7. After that time has elapsed, the device switches off and 5
buzzers are heard. Then you can remove the food.
Interrupting or Stopping the Cooking Process
• If you would like to interrupt the cooking process, press the
STOP/CLEAR button or simply open the door.
• If you wish to continue cooking, close the door and press the
START/+30SEC./CONFIRM button.
• If you would like to stop the cooking process altogether,
press the STOP/CLEAR button twice.
Warming
The warming and heating of food is a particular strength of the
microwave. Liquids and foods that are in the refrigerator can be
easily brought up to room temperature or the right temperature
for consumption without the need for many pots.
The heating times contained in the following table are only
rough guides as the time depends very much on the starting
temperature and the composition of the food. You are therefore
advised to check from time to time whether the dish is already
hot enough.
