Safety Instructions
Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE
RISK!
Beware!
To avoid food overheating or burning it is
very important not to select long time
periods or power levels that are too high
when heating small quantities of food. For
example, a bread roll can burn after 3
minutes if the power selected is too high.
For toasting, use just the grilling function and
watch the oven all the time. It you use a
combined function to toast bread it will catch
fire in a very short time.
Make sure you never catch the power cables
of other electrical appliances in the hot door
or the oven. The cable insulation may melt.
Danger of short-circuiting!
Take care when heating liquids!
When liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, etc.)
are nearly at boiling point inside the oven
and are taken out suddenly, they may spurt
out of their containers.
DANGER OF INJURIES AND BURNS!
To avoid that type of situation when heating
liquids, put a teaspoon or glass rod inside
the container.
Avoid damaging the oven or other
dangerous situations by following these
instructions:
Do not switch on the oven without the
turntable support, the turntable ring and the
respective plate being in place.
Never switch on the microwave when it is
empty. If there is no food inside there may
be an electrical overcharge and the oven
could be damaged.
RISK OF DAMAGE!
For carrying out oven programming tests put
a glass of water inside the oven. The water
will absorb the microwaves and the oven will
not be damaged.
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings.
Use only dishes suitable for microwaves.
Before using dishes and containers in the
microwave, check that these are suitable
(see the section on types of dishes).
Never remove the mica cover on the ceiling
of the oven interior! This cover stops fat and
pieces of food damaging the microwave
generator.
Do not keep any inflammable object inside
the oven as it may burn if the oven is
switched on.
Do not use the oven as a pantry.
Do not use the oven for frying as it is
impossible to control the temperature of oil
heated by microwaves.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven door.
This may damage the oven, especially in the
hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum
weight of 8 kg.
The turntable and the grills can bear a maximum
load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging the oven, do not
exceed this load.

The advantages of microwaves
In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical
elements or gas burners slowly penetrates the
food from outside to inside. On account of this
major amount of energy is wasted heating the air,
the oven components and the food containers.
In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the
food itself and the heat travels from inside to
outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the
oven cavity or the dishes and containers (if these
are suitable for use in microwave oven), in other
words, only the food is heated.
Microwave ovens have the following advantages:
1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are
up to 3/4 less than the time required for
conventional cooking.
2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the
danger of bacterial development.
3. Energy savings.
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods
due to the shorter cooking times.
5. Easy to clean.
Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water molecules
vibrate when subjected to microwaves.
The friction between molecules produces heat
which raises the temperature of the food,
defrosting it, cooking it or keeping it hot.
Since the heat arises inside the food:
This can be cooked with little or no liquid or
fats/oils;
Defrosting, heating or cooking in a microwave
oven is quicker than in a conventional oven;
The vitamins, minerals and nutritional
substances in the food are conserved;
The natural colour and aroma of the food are
unchanged.
Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard
or plastic but do not go through metal. For this
reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts
must not be used in a microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal...
How a microwave oven works
In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve
called a magnetron which converts electrical
energy into microwave energy. These
electromagnetic waves are channelled to the
interior of the oven through a wave guide and
distributed by a metallic spreader or through a
ceramic base.
Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all
directions and are reflected by the metal walls,
uniformly penetrating the food.
... but go through glass and china...
... and are absorbed by foods.

Using the Browning Plate
Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or
pies, on a grill or in a microwave oven, the dough
or pastry becomes soggy. This can be avoided
by using a browning plate. As a high temperature
is reached quickly on the bottom of the browning
plate, the crust turns crisp and brown.
The browning plate can also be used for bacon,
eggs, sausages, etc.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
Use oven gloves at all times as the browning
plate will become very hot.
Do not place any recipients on the browning
plate that are not heat-resistant (plastic
bowls for example).
How to cook with the browning plate:
1. Preheat the browning plate by selecting the
Microwave and Grill function for 3 to 5
minutes with a 360 W microwaves power
level.
2. Brush the browning plate with oil in order to
brown the food nicely.
3. Place the fresh or frozen food directly on
the browning plate. You can place defrost
food (like frozen pizza) without a previous
defrosting.
4. Place the browning plate on the glass
turntable in the microwave oven.
5. Select the Microwaves and Grill function
and the cooking time as described below.
How to clean the browning plate
The best way to clean the browning plate is to
wash it with hot water and detergent and rinse off
with clean water. Do not use a scrubbing brush or
a hard sponge otherwise the top layer will be
damaged.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
As the browning plate has a Teflon layer, if
you use it incorrectly, it can be damaged.
Never cut the food on the plate. Remove the
food from the plate prior to cutting. Turn the
food over preferably with a plastic or wooden
spatula.
Always place the browning plate in the center
of the ceramic base
Warning! Make sure that the browning plate
never touches the walls of the oven cavity, in
order to avoid damages in the oven.

Defrosting
The table below shows different defrosting and
standing times (in order to ensure the food
temperature is evenly distributed) for different
types and weights of food, plus recommendations.
EN
Defrosting
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are
appropriate for microwaves (china, glass,
suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables
refer to the defrosting of raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity
and thickness of the food. When freezing
food keep the defrosting process in mind.
Distribute the food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside
the oven. The thickest parts of fish or
chicken drumsticks should be turned towards
the outside. You can protect the most
delicate parts of food with pieces of
aluminium foil. Important: The aluminium
foil must not come into contact with the oven
cavity interior as this can cause electrical
arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned
several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as
possible since narrow and thin portions
defrost more quickly than the thicker and
broader parts.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that
the meat juices can run off more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that
it does not become too dry.
10. Turn the food whenever the oven lets out a
beep and the display flashes the word:
.
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and
do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags.
For containers that are used to keep frozen
food in the freezer and which can also be
used for heating and cooking, all you need to
do is take off the lid. For all other cases you
should put the food into containers that are
suitable for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting,
principally that from poultry, should be
discarded. In no event should such liquids be
allowed to come into contact with other
foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting
function you need to allow for standing time
until the food is completely defrosted.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese
and cream should not be completely
defrosted. If they are kept at room
temperature they will be ready to be served
in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if
you find small pieces of ice in it, you should
mix these in before serving.

Cooking with a microwave oven
Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety”
before cooking with your microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with
your microwave:
Before heating or cooking foods with peel or
skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages) prick them so that they do not
burst. Cut the food up before starting to
prepare it.
Before using a container or dish make sure that
it is suitable for microwave use (see the
section on types of ovenware).
When cooking food with very little moisture
(e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn, etc.)
evaporation is very quick. The oven then
works as if it was empty and the food may
burn. The oven and the container may be
damaged in such a situation. You should
therefore set just the cooking time necessary
and you must keep a close eye on the cooking
process.
It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil
(frying) in the microwave.
Remove pre-cooked food from the containers
they come in since these are not always heat
resistant. Follow the food manufacturer’s
instructions.
If you have several containers, such as cups,
for example, set them out uniformly on the
ceramic base.
Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use
plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several
times so that the steam can escape easily.
When heating or cooking foods, check that they
reach at least a temperature of 70°C.
During cooking, steam may form on the oven
door window and may start to drip. This
situation is normal and may be more
noticeable if the room temperature is low. The
oven’s safe working is not affected by this.
After you have finished cooking, clean up the
water coming from the condensation
When heating liquids, use containers with a
wide opening, so that the steam can
evaporate easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and
keep in mind the cooking times and power levels
indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only
indicative and can vary depending on the initial
state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is
advisable to adjust the times and power levels to
each situation. Depending on the exact
characteristics of the food you may need to
increase or shorten the cooking times or increase
or decrease the power levels.
Cooking with microwaves...
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the
cooking time. Keep in mind that:
Double the quantity » double the time
Half the quantity » half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the
cooking time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more
quickly.
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is
evenly distributed on the ceramic base. If you put
dense foods on the outside part of the plate and
less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you
can heat up different types of food simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any time. When
you do this the oven switches off automatically.
The microwave will only start working again when
you close the door and press the start key.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking
time and retain their characteristics better. The
lids used must let microwaves pass through and
have small holes that allow steam to escape.

Cooking with the grill
For good results with the grill, use the rack
supplied with the oven.
Fit the rack in such a way that it doesn’t come
into contact with the metal surfaces of the
oven cavity since if it does there is a danger of
electric arcing which may damage the oven.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. When the grill is used for the first time there
will be some smoke and a smell coming from
the oils used during oven manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot
when the grill is working. Keep children
away.
3. Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes.
Unless indicated otherwise, use the rack.
4. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls
and the rack become very hot. You should
use oven gloves.
5. If the grill is used for extended period of
time it is normal to find that the elements
will switch themselves off temporarily due
to the safety thermostat.
6. Important! When food is to be grilled or
cooked in containers you must check that
the container in question is suitable for
microwave use. See the section on types
of ovenware!
7. When the grill is used it is possible that
some splashes of fat may go onto the
elements and be burnt. This is a normal
situation and does not mean there is any
kind of operating fault.
8. After you have finished cooking, clean the
interior and the accessories so that
cooking remains do not become
encrusted.
Table and suggestions – Microwave + Grill
The microwave + grill function is ideal for cooking
quickly and, at the same time, browning foods.
Furthermore, you can also grill and cook cheese
covered food.
Before using a dish in the microwave oven make
sure that it is suitable for microwave use. Only use
dishes or containers that are suitable for
microwave use.
The dish to be used in the combined function
must be suitable for microwave and grill use. See
the section on types of ovenware!
Keep in mind that the figures given are merely
indicative and can vary as a function of the initial
state, temperature, moisture and type of food.
The microwave and the grill work simultaneously.
The microwave cooks and the grill toasts.
If the time is not enough to brown the food well,
put it under the grill for another 5 or 10 minutes.
Please follow the standing times and don’t forget
to turn the meat pieces.
Unless indicated to the contrary, use the ceramic
base for cooking.
The values given in the tables are valid when the
oven cavity is cold (it is not necessary to pre-heat
the oven).
EN
What kind of ovenware can be used?
Microwave function
For the microwave function, keep in mind that
microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces.
Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let
microwaves pass.
For this reason, metal pans and dishes or
containers with metal parts or decorations
cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware
and clay with metallic decoration or content
(e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave
ovens.
The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens
are glass, refractory china or clay, or heat
resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china
should only be used for short period of times (e.g.
heating).
Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can
become very hot. You should, therefore, always
use an oven glove!
How to test ovenware you want to use
Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20
seconds at maximum microwave power. After that
time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is
suitable to use. However, if it heats up a lot or
causes electric arcing it is not suitable for
microwave use.
Grill function
Keep in mind the manufacturer’s
recommendations written on the packaging.
The aluminium containers cannot be more than
3 cm high or come in contact with the cavity
walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any
aluminium lid or top must be removed.
Put the aluminium container directly on top of
the ceramic base. If you use the rack, put the
container on a china plate. Never put the
container directly on the rack!
The cooking time is longer because the
microwaves only enter the food from the top. If
you have any doubts, it is best to use only
dishes suitable for microwave use.
Aluminium foil can be used to reflect
microwaves during the defrosting process.
Delicate food, such as poultry or minced meat,
can be protected from excessive heat by
covering the respective extremities/edges.
Important: aluminium foil cannot come into
contact with the cavity walls since this may
cause electrical arcing.
Lids
We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or
cling film since:
1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly
during very long cooking times);
In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must
be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.
Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.
Combined functions
In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware
used must be suitable for use in both the
microwave and the grill.
Aluminium containers and foil
Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in
aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the
following aspects are respected:
2. The cooking times are shorter;
3. The food does not become dry;
4. The aroma is preserved.
The lid should have holes or openings so that no
pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be
opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby
food and similar containers can only be heated
without their tops / lids otherwise they can burst.

What kind of ovenware can be used?
Table of Ovenware
The table below gives you a general idea of what type of ovenware is suitable for each situation.
1. Without any gold or silver leaf edging; no
lead crystal.
2. Keep the manufacturer’s instructions in
mind!
3. Do not use metal clips for closing bags.
Make holes in the bags. Use the films only to
cover the food.
4. Do not use paper plates.
5. Only shallow aluminium containers without
lids/tops. The aluminium cannot come into
contact with the cavity walls.
EN
Oven Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally
required.
Warning! Your microwave oven should be
cleaned regularly, with all food remains being
removed. If the microwave is not kept clean its
surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven’s
working life and possibly resulting in a
dangerous situation.
Warning! Cleaning should be done with the
oven power switched off. Take the plug out of
the socket or switch off the oven’s power
circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning
products, scourers that scratch surfaces or
sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet
cleaning appliances.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a
damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of
dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water.
Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white
stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.
Do not let any water get inside the oven.
Oven interior
After each time the oven is used, clean the inside
walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest
way to remove splashes or spots of food that may
have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a nonaggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven
sprays or other aggressive or abrasive
cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very
clean to ensure that the door opens and
closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the microwave
ventilation holes.
Regularly clean the cavity base, especially after
any liquid spillage.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water
on the cavity base and switch on the microwave
oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The
steam released will soften the dirt which can then
be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be
eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice
in a cup with water. Put a small spoon in the cup
to avoid the water boiling over. Heat the water for
2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance
Oven ceiling
If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can be lowered
to make cleaning easier.
this happens, insert the grill heating element
support (1) into the slot in the ceiling of the cavity
and rotate it 90º to the grill heating element
support (2) position.
To avoid the danger of burning, wait until the grill
is cold before lowering it. Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the grill support by 180º (1)
2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not use
excessive force as this may cause damage.
3. After cleaning the ceiling, put the grill (2)
back in its place, carrying out the previous
operation.
IMPORTANT WARNING: The grill heating
element support (1) may fall when it is rotated. If
Accessories
Clean the accessories after each use. If they are
very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a
brush and sponge. The accessories can be
washed in a dish washing machine.
Make sure that the ceramic base and the
respective support are always clean. Do not
switch on the oven unless the ceramic base and
the respective support are in place.
EN
What should I do if the oven doesn’t work?
WARNING! Any type of repair must only be
done by a specialised technician. Any repair
done by a person not authorised by the
manufacturer is dangerous.
You do not need to contact Technical Assistance
to resolve the following questions:
The display is not showing! Check if:
- The time indication has been switched off
(see section on Basic Settings).
Nothing happens when I press the keys!
Check if:
- The Safety Block is active (see section on
Basic Settings).
The oven does not work! Check if:
- The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.
- The oven’s power is switched on.
The food is too hot, dried out or burnt!
Check if you selected the correct operating
time and power level.
I hear some noises after the cooking
process is finished! This is not a problem.
The cooling fan keeps on working for some
time. When the temperature has dropped
sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.
The oven switches on but the interior light
does not go on! If all the functions work
properly it is probable that the lamp has blown.
You can keep on using the oven.
The display shows “cErr”!
Disconnect the plug and wait approximately 5
seconds. After that, you can plug in the
Microwave again, the “cErr” message
disappears and the appliance is fully
operational.
- The door is completely closed. The door
should close with an audible click.
- There are any foreign bodies between the
door and the cavity front.
When the oven is operating I can hear some
strange noises! Check if:
- There is an electrical arcing inside the oven
caused by foreign metallic objects (see
section on type of ovenware).
- The ovenware is touching the oven walls.
- There are any loose items of cutlery or
cooking tools inside the oven.
The food doesn’t heat up or heats very
slowly! Check if:
- You have inadvertently used metal
ovenware.
- You have selected the correct operating
times and power level.
Substitution of light bulb
If the light bulb needs substitution call the
Technical Assistance since it is necessary to
uninstall the oven to replace it.
- The food you have put inside the oven is a
larger amount or colder than you usually put
in.
