Causes of damage
Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm
from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably
damage the glass on the inside of the door.
Water in the hot cooking compartment: Never pour water into the hot cooking
compartment. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause
damage.
Moist food: Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
long periods. Do not use the appliance to store food. This can lead to corrosion.
Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave the cooking compartment to
cool with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if
the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of adjacent units may be damaged over
time.
Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer
close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.
Always keep the seal clean.
Operating the microwave without food: Operating the appliance without food
in the cooking compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
appliance unless there is food in the cooking compartment. An exception to
this rule is a short crockery test (see the section "Microwave, suitable crockery").
Using the appliance door for standing on or placing objects on: Do not stand
or place anything on the open appliance door. Do not place ovenware or
accessories on the appliance door.
Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door
handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could
break.
Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave power too high. Use a power
setting no higher than 600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.
Liquid that has boiled over must not be allowed to run through the turntable
drive into the interior of the appliance. Monitor the cooking process. Choose a
shorter cooking time initially, and increase the cooking time as required.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed since
they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
