Important! Do not install the microwave above
a cooker or other appliance generating heat.
Installation in such a location could lead to
damage to the appliance and the loss of
warranty.
• Remove packaging material and any protective
film on the surface of the casing.
Note: Do not remove the light grey flimmer
cover plate, which is mounted in the cooking
area to protect the magnetron.
Before you begin
Basic principles of microwave cookery
• Arrange the food sensibly.
• The thickest parts near the edges.
• Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the
shortest possible stated cooking time and
increase as required. Food that is cooked
too long can begin to smoke or catch fire.
• Cover the food during cooking with a lid
suitable for microwave cookery. The lid
prevents splashing and helps in the even
cooking of the food.
• While cooking, turn the food in the microwave
once so that items such as chicken or ham-
burgers are cooked more quickly.
• Large pieces of food such as joints of meat
must be turned at least once.
• Completely re-arrange foods such as meatballs
after half the cooking time. Turn them and
place the meatballs from the middle of the
tabelware to the edge.
Use suitable cookware
• The ideal material for a microwave oven is
microwave-permeable, allowing the energy
to penetrate the container to heat the food.
Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Therefore
metal containers and cookware should not be
used.
• When heating in the microwave, do not use
items which made of recycling paper. This can
contain tiny metal fragements which generate
sparks and/or even cause fires.
• We recommend the use of round/oval cook-
ware instead of square or oblong containers,
as food in corner areas tends to overcook.

selecting the correct tableware.
