mean that it is defective. Try to deal with the problem
yourself first. Phone the service department if the advice
given below does not help.
– Is the plug in the socket?
– Is the door closed properly?
– Is the fuse in the meter cupboard defective?
– Have the power level and cooking time been set
properly?
– Is there anything in the microwave oven that should not
be there?
– Have you used the correct utensils?
– Are the ventilation openings blocked?
– Is the food sufficiently defrosted?

cleaning
Remove the plug from the socket or turn the switch in the
meter cupboard to zero before you start cleaning the
microwave oven.
Clean the inside immediately after use. Use a damp cloth to
remove any condensation, liquid that has boiled over and
food remains. Crumbs and liquid that remain behind absorb
microwave energy and lengthen cooking times.
The grill can be folded down so that you can also clean the
oven ceiling above the grill element.
Clean the inside and outside of the oven regularly using
soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Make sure that the microwave distributer cover (inside the
oven on the right) is clean. A cover which is not clean may
cause sparking.
Clean the accessories regularly; use soapy water and a brush
and dry the accessories thoroughly with a dry cloth. The
accessories may also be washed in a dishwasher.
Odours will disappear if you put a glass of vinegar or water
with lemon juice added in the oven space. Switch the
microwave on for two minutes on full power. Then wipe with
a damp cloth.
Check the door catch and the door seal regularly for damage.
Do not use the combi-microwave oven if the door or door
catch are damaged.
