∙ 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. 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.
∙ Should any smoke be noticed during operation, keep the door closed to inhibit or
smother any flames. 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 first use
∙ 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 inspection window, door seals and
locks, are not damaged or bent and that it closes firmly 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 qualified technician.
∙ Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for recycling.
∙ Do not remove the protective film covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable drive or the grey-brown protective
cover (4) 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 first time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be thoroughly cleaned as
described in the section Cleaning.
∙ Insert the drive unit and the glass turntable into the unit.
∙ Do not operate the appliance without the drive unit and glass turntable properly fitted.
∙ Before the microwave appliance is used for the first 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 first switching on a grill. A
little smoke may be emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
