∙ When heating or cooking food contained or wrapped in combustible materials such as plastic or paper, there is a
danger of those materials igniting. It is also possible that food will dry out or even ignite if the selected cooking time
is excessive. Fat or oil are also infl ammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise the appliance during
operation. Highly volatile or infl ammable liquids such as concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
∙ Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or smother any fl ames. Switch the
unit off immediately and remove the plug from the wall socket.
∙ To prevent burns, a suitable oven-cloth must always be used when removing food items from the oven, since the
utensils and cooking containers heat up not only during use of the grill, but also during microwave operation.
∙ Special food thermometers (as used in conventional baking ovens) are not suitable for use with microwave ovens.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check the unit and its power cord
carefully for any signs of damage.
∙ Caution: Ensure that the door, including the viewing window and door locks, are not damaged or bent and that it
closes fi rmly against the support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during
operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked.
Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until it has been repaired
by a qualifi ed technician.
∙ Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
∙ Do not remove the protective fi lm covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable/drive unit or the grey-brown protective cover
(5) next to the light on the right of the interior.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – such materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Before the appliance is used for the fi rst time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be thoroughly cleaned as described
in the section Cleaning.
∙ Insert the roller ring/drive unit and the glass turntable into the unit.
∙ Do not operate the appliance without the roller ring/drive unit and glass turntable properly fi tted.
∙ Before the microwave appliance is used for the fi rst time, let it heat up on the grill setting (without the microwave function activated)
for approximately 10 minutes. This will remove the smell typically encountered when fi rst switching on a grill. A little smoke may be
emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure there is suffi cient ventilation.
∙ This appliance is a group 2 class B ISM device. Group 2 contains all ISM devices (industrial, scientifi c, medical) generating radio
frequency energy and/or using radio frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also
comprises spark erosion devices. Class B specifi es devices designed for domestic use, or any similar devices integrated in the
general power grid supplying domestic units.
Note: Do not switch the unit on unless the food to be heated or cooked has been placed inside the oven. Operating the
appliance empty could result in damage to the unit.
The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011)
Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and
subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The
heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food
temperature.
∙ Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking container. Make sure that the
container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable.
∙ Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are refl ected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked.
Any metal in the oven could also cause sparks, resulting in possible damage to the unit.
