Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting your Bosch Microwave ready is straightforward, and maintaining it is surprisingly simple.
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the microwave from its packaging, ensuring all packing materials and accessories (like the glass turntable and roller ring) are accounted for.
- Placement: As a freestanding model, choose a flat, stable surface that allows adequate ventilation around the unit. Do not place it in an enclosed cabinet. Ensure it's away from heat sources and water.
- Assembly: Place the roller ring in the depression in the microwave's base, then position the glass turntable securely on top of the roller ring.
- Power Connection: Plug the microwave into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the unit's requirements.
- Initial Use: Before first use, it's recommended to wipe the interior with a damp cloth.
Compatibility
- Cookware: Use only microwave-safe and grill-safe dishes. Avoid metal containers or foil in microwave mode. The 27cm glass turntable accommodates most standard dinner plates, but larger, oversized platters may not fit or rotate properly.
- Power: The unit requires a standard electrical outlet. Check your local voltage requirements if unsure.
Care & Maintenance
- Eco-Friendly Cleaning: This microwave features a special cleaning system for quick and uncomplicated interior cleaning:
- Place a cup of water with a drop of washing-up liquid and a small spoonful of detergent into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Place the bowl in the microwave.
- Set the microwave to 600W for 3 minutes.
- Let it rest for a few minutes after the cycle. The steam generated will soften food residues.
- Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot) and wipe down the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Turntable & Roller Ring: These components can be removed and washed by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher.
- Safety: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance.
