The appliance must only be used by persons familiar with these instructions. Door locks Positioning the unit Always place the microwave oven on a sufficiently stable, heat-resistant surface and ensure that it is protected from any high temperatures or excessive humidity. sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all times. [. . . ] Do not let the power cord hang free and keep it away from any hot parts. It is important that the appliance is thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals and that any food residues are removed. Excessive wear may otherwise be caused to the exposed surfaces and the life expectancy of the appliance considerably reduced. In addition, its safety and proper operation may also be affected. (Class B in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2) 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 send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual. The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2) 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. Always use suitable kitchen utensils 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 reflected 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. As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances. Should the use of aluminium foil be recommend in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). 5 cm 13 between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven. Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour containing metal particles. [. . . ] - The appliance can be switched off at any time by setting the timer back to ‘0’. - Caution : to take out the food before the pre-programmed time has elapsed, always turn the timer back to its ‚0‘-position first. The cooking time generally depends on several factors. - The microwaves penetrate the surface of the food. [. . . ]
