]Causes of damage
C aution!
C a u s e s o f d a m a g e
Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass –
■
must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the
inside of the door.
Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
■
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
■
appliance without food in the cooking compartment
may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
microwave unless there is food inside. The short
crockery test is the exception to this rule.
~ "Microwave" on page 11
Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
■
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
■
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never
operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or
missing. ~ "Cleaning" on page 16
Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave output
■
too high. Use a maximum microwave output of 600
watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The door panels may crack if overloaded.
