Guide to the display Touch controls The microwave oven is operated by electronic sensor controls which react to the touch of a finger. Every touch of the controls is confirmed by a tone. The tone can be turned off. See "Settings". OK For selecting an entry. A triangle V appears under the selected symbol. Also used to confirm an entry. V or W Moves the triangle V in the display left or right. Increases or reduces the microwave power setting / time entered. For selecting or modifying the function.
Guide to the display Triangle V in the display When the triangle lights up V below a symbol in the display, the corresponding function is indicated. If the triangle flashes V below a symbol, the function has been selected and can be changed. The triangle V flashes for about 5 seconds. The setting can be changed using V or W only while it is flashing. If this entry time elapses, you must once again call up the desired symbol with "OK".
Oven accessories Boiling wand Glass tray with non-tip safety notches This tray is suitable for all microwave oven functions. When heating liquids, the provided boiling wand should be placed into the container. It results in even boiling of the liquid. Always use the glass tray when using the Microwave (Solo) function. When inserted the safety notches should face the rear. The glass tray can hold a max. of 17.5 lbs (8 kg).
Oven accessories Combi rack The combi rack is specially designed for microwaves and can be used with programs that use microwave power (combi programs). It should not be set on the bottom of the oven and do not use it with the Microwave (Solo) function. This could cause arcing which could damage the oven. The combi rack can hold a max. of 17.5 lbs (8 kg). The combi rack becomes very hot during use. Use caution. When inserting a rack, always check that the safety notches are at the rear of the oven.
Safety and energy saving features System lock Automatic Safety Shut-off The oven can be locked 0 to prevent unauthorized use. A function without Microwave can be started without a duration set. To prevent a run-on operation and a fire hazard the oven shuts off automatically. Depending on the temperature and function selected, the oven will turn off 1 to 10 hours after the last operation was selected.
Settings % The default oven settings can be changed in the function "Settings J". In this function you can customize the oven to suit your preferences. Setting Status P I Time display S 0 The time display is turned off. The display is dark when the function selector is in the "0ff" position. The time runs in the background. S I* The time display is turned on and visible. S 0 When a set duration time expires, no signal sounds. S I* S 2 When a set duration time expires, a signal sounds.
Settings % Changing the status of a setting ^ Use V or W to change the setting status (see table). ^ Turn the function selector to Light / %. ^ Select "OK". ^ Select "OK". "P" and the number of the setting appear again in the display. P I ^ "P I" appears in the display. The status change is stored in memory. Other settings can also be changed at this time as long as the function selector is not turned to "Off". The settings will remain saved in the case of a power failure.
Selecting cookware Microwaves: Material and shape The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Circular and oval containers work best. The food will heat more evenly than in a square container. ,Containers and lids which – are reflected by metal, contain hollow handles or knobs are not suitable for use in the oven. The handles or knobs could collect moisture if not adequately vented. Without vent holes pressure can build up, causing the container to crack or shatter.
Selecting cookware Exceptions: The enclosed combi rack is only suitable for combi functions not the micorwave solo function. Do not set it on the oven floor. – Metal baking dishes are suitable for baking with a combination microwave baking method. However they are not recommended, metal reflects the microwaves causing longer cooking times. In addition, the use of metal pans could cause sparking. – Pre-cooked meals in aluminum foil containers can be defrosted and reheated in the oven.
Selecting cookware Plastics Use plastic dishes only for Microwave - Solo. They must be heat resistant up to 230°F (110°C) otherwise the plastic may melt into the food. Special plasticware, designed for use in microwave ovens is available in retail outlets. Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting.
Selecting cookware Covering the food Use a cover only during the Microwave function. Plastics are only heat-resistant up to 230°F (110°C). Higher temperatures (Broiling, Convection Bake, etc.) can cause the cover to melt into the food. The cover should not completely seal the container. This may prevent steam from escaping causing the cover to melt. A cover: – prevents most of the steam from escaping, especially when cooking foods which needs longer to cook, such as potatoes.

For a combination of the microwave function with a solo function.
Microwave Do Not Operate the Microwave Oven empty! The oven will get damaged. Microwave cooking offers speed, convenience and nutritional benefits when food does not require browning or crisping. The moisture content of food will affect the speed at which it is cooked. Heat is produced directly in the food, therefore: – food can generally be cooked without adding much liquid or cooking oil. – defrosting, reheating and cooking in a convection microwave oven is quicker than using traditional oven methods.
Baking Convection bake Combination bake Default temperature . . . . 325°F (160°C) Default temperature . . . . 325°F (160°C) Recommended for cookies, quick batters, pastry, phyllo, and strudel.
