It should only be used for warming up appropriate foodstuffs in microwave-suitable containers and dishes. When warming up meals in plastic or paper containers it is necessary to monitor the container constantly because of the risk of fire. The microwave is not intended for the preparation of foods which require frying. The appliance is also not intended for drying out objects.

To ensure adequate ventilation a minimum safe clearance distance of 20 cm to the top, 10 cm to the back side, and 5 cm on both sides must be observed. The openings in the appliance should not be covered or blocked. Protect the appliance from water droplets or spray. If the appliance does become wet then pull out the plug immediately. Caution!

Initial operation and use 3 Important information • • • • • • • • Never use the microwave when empty in microwave mode, i.e. without items to be cooked inside. Only use the accessories that are enclosed or described as suitable in these instructions. Never use dishes with metal trimmings, metal utensils or the grill stand in microwave mode as this could damage the appliance.
Caution! Eggs which are already boiled can explode, even after being removed from the oven. • • • After heating, stir the food if possible to ensure even temperatures, otherwise let the food stand for a short time. Check the temperature before eating food cooked in the microwave. Special care must be taken with baby food and bottles. Always stir or shake the baby food before checking the temperature to avoid burns.
• • If you see smoke, keep the door closed to prevent fire from breaking out, or to smother flames which have already broken out, and immediately turn off the appliance using the button. Then pull the plug out of the mains socket straight away. Caution! If the housing, door, covers or the door catch are damaged then do not use the appliance under any circumstances. Have the appliance repaired immediately by a specialist workshop or contact your Medion Service Centre to reduce risks.
About microwaves 4 Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves which have a warming effect on the food within the oven. Microwaves heat all non-metallic objects. Therefore, do not place any metallic objects when operating the microwave mode. This heating effect works better the higher the water content of the foodstuff. To ensure optimal distribution of heat let food stand for a minute or two after cooking.

Cooking and heating up in the microwave 6 General notes • • • To arrange food so that it cooks properly place the food with the largest pieces towards the outer edge. Note the exact cooking or heating times. Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if necessary. Caution! Overcooked food can start to smoke or even catch fire. • • • Cover food during cooking or heating with a cover that is suitable for the microwave.
Materials that are partially suitable • • • • Stoneware and ceramics. Use clay containers only for defrosting and for short cooking times because the air and water content of the material could cause the clay to crack or break. Dishes with gold or silver décor should only be used when the manufacture has labelled it "microwave-suitable". Never use aluminium foil in large quantities. It can however be used in small pieces to cover sensitive parts.

Cleaning and care 11 Poor appliance hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces, which in turn can reduce the lifespan of the appliance and even result in dangerous situations. Therefore clean the microwave regularly and remove all remaining food. • Switch the microwave off and pull the plug from the socket before cleaning. • Keep the inside of the appliance clean. Wipe away splashes or spilled liquids that attach to the walls with a damp cloth. A mild cleaning solution can be used for serious dirt.
Taking out of operation 12 When the cooking process is finished and the clock appears on the display, open the door and remove the food. The device switches itself off automatically when cooking is finished. Bear in mind that the microwave’s internal light comes on when the door is open and turns itself off after a certain time. If you do not use the appliance for a longer period of time, pull out the mains plug and store the appliance in a dry location.
Disposal 14 Appliance At the end of its life ensure that the device is disposed of in an environmentally appropriate manner. This may be a local collection point for old appliances. Seek the advice of your local authority about the local options for disposing of waste. Before disposal cut off the cable. Packaging Your microwave is wrapped in packaging to protect it against transportation damage. Packaging materials are primary products and can therefore be reused or recycled.
