INSTALLATION

 The electrical installation is to be set up so that the appliance can be isolated

from the mains with a minimum 3mm all-pole contact separation.

 Suitable separation devices include e.g. cutouts, fuses (screw fuses are to be

taken out of the holder), RCD’s and contactors. This installation must comply

with current regulations.

 If the electrical connection is done through a plug and this remains accessible

after installation, then it is not necessary to provide the mentioned separation

device.

 Protection against electric shock must be provided by the electrical installation  Warning: The oven must be earthed.

CLEANING

 The appliance should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.  Failure to maintain the appliance in a clean condition could lead to

deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance

and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Safety Information

 Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass

 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.  The door contact surfaces (the front of the cavity and the inside part of the

doors) must be kept very clean in order to ensure the oven functions correctly.

 Please follow the instructions regarding cleaning in the section "Oven Cleaning

and Maintenance".

REPAIRS

 WARNING: Before maintenance cut the power supply.  WARNING: Only a competent person can carry out any service or repair

operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against

exposure to microwave energy.

 WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the appliance must not be

operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

 If the power cable is damaged it should be substituted by the manufacturer,

authorized agents or technicians qualified for this task in order to avoid

dangerous situations. Furthermore, special tools are required for this task.

 Repair and maintenance work, especially of current carrying parts, can only be

carried out by technicians authorized by the manufacturer.

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.
