∙ If the appliance is not kept clean and food residues are not removed, this can lead
to a deterioration of the surface quality, which in turn can affect the service life of
the appliance and possibly pose a danger to the user. After each use, clean the
door seals, the cooking chamber with the glass bottom and the adjacent parts
with a damp cloth. Clean grill rack and baking tray in dishwater. More detailed
information on cleaning and user maintenance can be found in the "Cleaning"
section.
∙ This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as the
- staff kitchens in shops, offices and other similar working environments,
- agricultural working environments,
- by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar accommodation,
- in bed-and breakfast type environments.
∙ Caution: Any maintenance or repair work requiring the removal of any microwave
radiation protection cover represents a serious hazard to unqualified persons. This
includes the replacement of the special power cord or an interior light bulb. The unit
must not be opened, except by qualified personnel. If repairs are needed, please
contact our customer service department by telephone or email (see appendix).
∙ 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.
∙ 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 finished.
∙ 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. Caution:
To avoid painful and dangerous scalding, always check the temperature before
feeding a child.
∙ 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 inflammable substances. It is therefore important to supervise
the appliance during operation. Highly volatile or inflammable liquids such as
concentrated alcohol must of course not be heated up.
