•

Browning dishes You must be very careful when using this type of

dish. The dish must always be at least 5 mm above the glass

turntable.

•

Clingfilm can be used, particularly for soups, sauces, stewed dishes

or when defrosting food. Can also be used as a loose covering to

prevent fat, etc. from spraying out into the oven compartment.

•

Kitchen roll is ideal, as kitchen roll absorbs moisture and fat. For

example, bacon can be placed in layers, with kitchen roll between

each layer. The bacon will then be completely crispy, as it does not sit

in “its own fat”. Home-baked bread can be taken directly from the

freezer, packed in kitchen roll and heated in the microwave oven.

•

Wet kitchen roll can be used for fish or vegetables. Covering the food

prevents it from drying out.

•

Baking parchment Fish, large vegetables, such as cauliflower, corn on

the cob and similar can be packed in wet greaseproof paper.

•

Roasting bags are ideal for meat, fish and vegetables. However, they

must never be closed using metal clips. Cotton thread should be used

instead. Prick the bag with small holes, and place it in the microwave

oven on a plate or glass dish.

•

Paper plates Should only be used for brief heating.

Important!

When you prepare food in the microwave oven, you should not use the

following implements and materials:

•

Sealed glass/bottles with small openings, as they may explode.

•

General purpose thermometers

•

Silver foil/foil trays, as the microwave rays cannot penetrate the

material and the food will not cook. However, small pieces of silver

paper can be used to protect thin pieces of meat or poultry so that

they do not get burnt.

•

Recycled paper, as it may contain small metal splinters that could

cause sparks and/or a fire.

•

Closed tins/containers with tightly sealed lids, as excess pressure

may cause the tin/container to explode.

•

Metal clips and other lids/foils, containing metal wires. These can form

sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be removed.

•

Metal bowls/containers and packaging, unless they are designed

specifically for use in microwave ovens. The microwaves are reflected

and cannot penetrate the food through the metal.

•

Plates, dishes and bowls/containers with metal, gold and silver

decorations. They may break and/or cause sparks to form in the oven

compartment.

•

Foam plastic. Foam plastic melts in the microwave oven or may

destroy the food.

•

Wood Wood dries out in the microwave oven and may splinter or

crack.

CLEANING

When cleaning the microwave oven, you should pay attention to the

following points:

•

Switch the microwave oven off and remove the plug from the wall

socket before cleaning.

•

Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or other strong cleaning

agents to clean the interior or exterior surfaces of the microwave

oven, as they may scratch the surfaces. 

•

Instead use a cloth dampened with hot water, and add detergent if the

microwave oven is very dirty. 

•

Make sure that no water gets into the vent holes.

•

Always keep the door open when cleaning the control panel, to avoid

the microwave oven accidentally starting up during the cleaning

process.

•

The turning ring and the floor of the microwave oven must be cleaned

regularly so that the glass turntable can move around without

hindrance. 

•

The glass turntable and turning ring can be cleaned in a dishwasher. 

BEFORE GOING TO A REPAIR CENTRE

If the microwave oven will not start:

•

Check that the plug is correctly in place in the wall socket. If that is

not the case, remove the plug, wait 10 seconds and then plug it in

again.

•

Check whether a fuse has blown or whether the fuse relay has been

switched off. If it is not that, you can check that the socket itself is

working by plugging in another device.

•

Check that the door is closed properly. If this is not the case, the

automatic safety system (via the lock dowels) ensures that the

microwave oven cannot be started.

•

Check whether the operating panel has been set correctly, and

whether the timer has been activated.

If the microwave oven still does not work, you should contact a repair

engineer.
