Why do you need a manual there is nothing to do. To make the stirring function work, you need a magnetic stir bar (just a Teflon coated magnet. There is a motor-powered spinning magnet under the ceramic plate.

The heater is not thermostatically controlled. It just heats more as you turn the dial more.

Testimonial: "Yeah, you're right. Had the silly hope that, being a scientific instrument instead of just another consumer widget, that the nice folks @ Corning may have included a schematic of sorts for those "just-in-case-events". Thanks for putting my feet back firmly on the ground Mr. Mark."

Neff microwave h7871 arcing

This antenna is called the stirrer here in the US. Its purpose is to stir the microwaves to ensure even cooking.

The cover is usually made of plastic, as opposed to ceramic, and it keeps grease and food particles off the stirrer to protect it from arcing, which can damage the surfaces and the magnetron.

The stirrer, stirrer cover and the area around it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner.

If the cavity metal of the oven is chipped or charred, it will have to be sanded smooth and clean and dried thoroughly.

Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available in appliance parts stores and hardware stores.

Also, the stirrer will arc if it is not turning when the oven is cooking. That may mean a bad stirrer motor.

If your waveguide cover is burned, it will need to be replaced. It provides important protection for the magnetron and stirrer.

You can download Neff manuals here.

Even if you don't find your exact model, they should all have contact info for Neff in case you need to call them to get spares / parts.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
