Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
▶
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡ This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-
partment and eliminates the need for the appliance
to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.
¡ The cooking compartment is heated after baking
the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake.

If you prepare microwave popcorn at a microwave
power level that is too high, the door pane may crack
due to overloading.
Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶
Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶
Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
▶
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
¡ Accessories that are not being used do not need to
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
¡ This saves the energy that would otherwise be re-
quired to defrost it.
Switch off the display in the basic setting.
¡ Energy is saved when the display is switched off.
Heat two glasses or cups of liquid at the same time.
¡ Heating several dishes at the same time requires
less energy than heating dishes one after the other.
Note:
The appliance requires:
¡ A maximum of 2 W in networked standby mode
¡ A maximum of 1 W in non-networked standby mode
with the display switched on
¡ A maximum of 0.5 W in non-networked standby
mode with the display switched off
