∙ The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.
∙ Warning: because of the high temperatures that occur during operation in the combination functions, children must
not use the appliance unless they are properly supervised by an adult.
∙ When using the grill or combination functions, take extreme care not to touch the interior heating elements.
∙ Always switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket:
- before cleaning,
- in case of any malfunction,
- after each use.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.
∙ Caution: The exterior surfaces of the appliance may become hot during operation. There is also a
danger of steam being emitted through the ventilation slots, with a consequent risk of scalding.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or come into contact with any heat sources. Do
not let the power cord hang free, and keep it away from any hot parts.
∙ If the unit is not kept properly clean, deterioration in the quality of its surfaces may be caused, with possible
subsequent shortening of its life-cycle, as well as potential risk to the user's safety. Any food residue should
therefore be removed right away. For detailed information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section
Cleaning.

- staff kitchens in shops, offi ces and other similar working environments,

∙ Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave radiation protection cover
represents a serious hazard to unqualifi ed persons. This includes the replacement of the special power cord or
an interior light bulb. The unit must not be opened, except by qualifi ed personnel. If repairs are needed, please
send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this

∙ When heating liquids in your microwave oven, the liquid may heat up beyond boiling-point without visible evidence
of bubbling. It is therefore important to exercise extreme caution when handling any containers, e.g. when removing
them from the oven.
The risk of such over-boiling may be reduced by placing a heat-resistant glass rod in the container during the
heating process.
∙ Eggs in their shells or whole hard-boiled eggs must not be heated up in a microwave oven, since they may explode
even after the microwave heating process has fi nished.
∙ Caution: It is also highly dangerous to heat up liquids or any kind of solid food items in closed containers in the
unit, since there is a real danger of explosion.
∙ The contents of baby bottles or glass containers with baby food must be thoroughly stirred or shaken to ensure that
the temperature is evenly distributed. To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature
before feeding a child.
