Causes of damage

Caution!
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").
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.
Never use the microwave oven without the turntable.
■
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.
Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the appliance.
■
They damage the appliance by producing sparks.
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.
Condensation in the cooking compartment: Condensation
■
may appear on the door window, interior walls and floor. This
is normal and does not adversely affect microwave operation.
To prevent corrosion, wipe off the condensation every time
you cook.
