Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing

metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or cream pots with the tinfoil lid only partially removed. Such items could be damaged or cause a fire hazard.

The rack and gourmet plate supplied with the appliance are designed to be compatible with microwaves and can therefore be used for grilling with or without the microwave function.

N.B. Do not use the rack for Microwave-solo.

Do not use the rack and the gourmet plate at the same time.

This will damage the gourmet plate. Always place the gourmet plate directly on the turntable.

Do not use the cover with the gourmet plate, as the cover will get

too hot.

Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic,

paper or other inflammable materials. Before using single-use plastic containers, make sure they are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See appropriate section.

Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device

available from specialist shops. Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven as this may lead to the eggs bursting, even after they have been taken out of the oven.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave heat only if

the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Danger of injury.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket

potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or the skin cut in several places before cooking to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.

Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are

intended for normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.

Always ensure that food, the gourmet plate or a browning dish

has been placed in the microwave, and that the turntable is in place, before switching on.
