Installation Instructions
Remove oven from packing
Remove all packing materials and accessories
from the oven cavity.
Check whether the following parts are in good
condition:
- door and hinges;
- front of the oven;
- inside and outside of oven.
Should you find any faults DO NOT USE THE
OVEN, and contact your dealer.
Place the oven on a flat stable surface able to
support its weight.
- To allow efficient cooling of the microwave,
its installation is recommended in a unit
with an opening in the upper part (refer to
the installation instructions leaflet
enclosed).
The oven should be kept away from heat and
vapour sources (electric oven, toasters, etc.).
The oven has been supplied with a mono-phase
power supply cord. The appliance must be
earthed.
The manufacturers and dealers are not
responsible for any breakdowns or personal
accidents should these installation instructions
not be followed by the purchaser.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
Important Information
WARNING: If the door or the door hinges are
damaged, the oven should not be switched on
until repaired by a qualified technician.
WARNING: It is dangerous for anyone, except a
qualified technician, to tamper with the
apparatus or try to repair it in any way by
removing any lid or covering which assures
protection against the exposure to microwave
energy.
WARNING: Liquids and other food should not be
heated in airtight recipients as these can
explode.
WARNING: Children should only be allowed to
use the oven without adult supervision if they
have been given the appropriate instructions so
that they can use the oven safely and
understand the dangers of its incorrect use.
When heating food in plastic or paper recipients,
check the oven frequently in case they ignite.
If any smoke is detected, then switch off the oven
or disconnect it and keep the door closed in order
for any flame to die out.
After warming up baby bottles or baby food jars,
stir or shake its contents and check the
temperature before feeding, to avoid burns.
Warming up drinks in the microwave oven may
result in a delayed eruptive boiling, therefore one
should be careful when handling the recipient.
3
Eggs with their shell and whole boiled eggs
shouldn’t be warmed up in microwave ovens as
they may explode.
Do not use any metal utensils inside the oven
unless they were supplied with the oven and for
that purpose.
Do not warm up liquids or other food in closed
recipients as they may explode.
Do not warm up pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks.
DANGER OF FIRE.
When in doubt, choose short periods to cook,
heat or defrost food with microwaves. With long
cooking periods the food may become dry and
even begin to burn.
Do not use the oven for anything other than
warming, cooking or defrosting food.
Do not operate the oven without its tray nor when
empty.
Keep the oven ventilation holes open. Never
cover any air vents or openings.
Description of the
Microwave Oven
The advantages of a microwave oven:
In a conventional oven the heat radiated by the
resistances or gas burners, slowly penetrates the
food from the outside to the inside. There is,
therefore, a great loss of energy in the heating of
the air, oven components and recipients.
On the other hand, in microwave ovens the heat
is generated in the interior of the food itself,
heating it from the inside outwards. There is
therefore no loss of energy as the air, interior
walls of the oven and recipients (when adequate)
do not heat up with microwaves.
In short, microwave ovens have the following
advantages:
1. Save on cooking time: in general there is a
3/4 reduction of the cooking time than with
conventional methods.
2. Ultra-quick defrosting which prevents
bacteria development.
3. Electricity saving.
4. Maintaining the nutritive value of the food
due to the cooking time reduction.
5. Easy cleaning.

How the microwave oven works
In the microwave oven there is a high voltage
valve called "Magnetron" that converts electric
energy to microwave energy. These
electromagnetic waves are conducted to the
inside of the oven cavity by means of wave-guide
and spread by a mode stirrer or by a turntable.
Inside the oven the microwaves spread out in all
directions and are reflected by the metallic walls,
penetrating the food evenly.
Why does the food heat up?
Most food contains water, whose molecules
vibrate with microwaves.
The microwaves travel through porcelain, glass,
cardboard or plastic but not through metal.
Therefore, recipients made of or containing metal
should not be used in the microwave oven.
The microwaves are reflected by the metal
They travel through glass, porcelain…
The friction between the molecules generates
heat, which causes a temperature rise in the
food, defrosting it, cooking it or keeping it warm.
As the heat is formed inside the food:
- It may be cooked with little or no liquid or fat;
- Defrosting, heating or cooking in the
microwave oven is quicker than in a
conventional oven;
- Vitamins, minerals and nutritive substances
are preserved;
- There is no change in the natural food colour
and aroma.
They are absorbed by the food.

Advice for Good Usage of
the Oven
Working with microwaves
Before using any dish, make sure that it is
appropriate for use in microwaves (SEE ADVICE
ON THE USE OF UTENSILS AND RECIPIENTS).
Always make a slit in the food's shell before
cooking it.
Whenever heating liquids use a recipient with a
large opening to allow the vapour to escape.
Remember that:
1. Larger quantities of food require more
cooking time.
2. The lower the food temperature the more
cooking time is needed.
3. Less dense foods cook faster.
4. An even distribution of the food in the oven
guarantees better results. The cooking of
different types of foods simultaneously is
possible by placing the dense food in an
outside circle and the less dense in the
centre of the plate.
5. Better results are achieved by allowing the
food to stand before serving because it
continues to cook for some time after the
oven is switched off.
Functioning of the grill
For best results of the grill, use the grill rack
supplied with the appliance.
Do not place the grill rack in contact with the
cavity’s metal surface as there may be an electric
arc and consequent damages.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. While the grill is being used for the first time,
the producting of fumes and odours id
normal, due to the oils used in the
manufacturing process.
2. After the first uses of the grill, it is normal for
the perforated area that proctets the heating
elements of the grill to deform and to
become a golden colour due to the high
temperatures that the grill reaches during
use.
3. The glass on the door reaches high
temperatures during grilling. Therefore the
oven should be installed at least 80 cm
above the floor, SO AS TO BE OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN.
4. While in operation, the inside walls of the
oven and the grill become very hot, therefore
the use of kitchen gloves is recommended.
6. The cooking time may be shortened and the
liquids preserved (the food doesn't dry out)
by covering the food. The lids should be
transparent to allow the microwaves
through and they should have a small
opening for the vapour to escape.
8
5. During extended use of the grill it is normal
for the heating elements to switch off for
short periods due to the action of the safety
temperature limiter.
6. Do not use plastic containers or others that
have poor temperature resistance, as these
could be destroyed due to the high
temperatures that the grill reaches.
Advice on the use of
Cookware
Metal
Do not use metal dishes, tinned food, food
wrapped in tin foil and cutlery inside the
microwave oven. The metal reflects the
microwaves and food is not heated.
The food should be removed from its tin foil
containers and placed in dishes that are
appropriate for use in the microwave oven. As
microwaves don't penetrate tin foil, the food
heats only on the surface. By using appropriate
dishes, the heat is evenly distributed throughout
the food.
EXCEPTIONS:
To cook or defrost pieces of meat of irregular
sizes, you may cover the thinner parts with tin
foil, which should be kept at least 2 cm away
from the oven walls, otherwise these may cause
an electric arc.
Metal spits may be used as long as they are
smaller than the pieces of meat.
Glazed Ceramic Dishes
This type of dish may heat considerably.
Painted glazed ceramic dishes may be used if the
painting is done under the glaze.
Many glazes and colours contain metallic
substances. If this is the case they should not be
used in the microwave as they may be damaged.
Recipients with silver and gold glazes may go
dark.
Plastic
Plastic dishes should be heat resistant (at least
180° C) or they may be deformed when used in
the microwave. Melamine dishes are not suitable
for use in the microwave as they heat up too
much.
To cook or heat food in plastic bags, they should
be perforated to allow vapour to escape thus
preventing the bag from bursting.
Glass
All heat proof glass containers may be used.
Crystal contains a percentage of lead, which may
cause it to crack if used in the microwave oven.
The same may happen to glass dishes with
jagged edges.
Porcelain
Porcelain dishes may be used but they should not
have hollow handles. Humidity may be formed
inside the hollow handles, which will causes an
increase in pressure that may cause them to
break.
Wood
Wooden recipients should not be used in the
microwave. Wood contains water which
evaporates and may cause the recipient to crack.
9
Recipient Test
If in doubt about the use of glass, glazed ceramic
or porcelain dishes in the microwave oven, do the
following test:
1. Place the empty dish and a glass of water
inside the microwave oven;
2. Close the door;
3. Set the Power Level Selector at maximum
power;
4. Adjust the timer to 1 minute;
Note: the oven starts
If during this test you hear any noise along with
sparks, turn off the oven immediately.
Any kind of cookware that has this kind of
behaviour or is very hot when removed from the
oven should not be used in the microwave oven.
Lids
The use of glass lids, plastic lids or plastic film is
advisable because:
1. They prevent the release of excessive
vapours especially when cooking for longer
periods.
2. They increase the speed of heating food.
3. They prevent the food from drying up.
4. They prevent the loss of the food aroma.
The lids should have holes to avoid pressure.
Plastic film should be perforated.
Baby bottles, baby food jars and other similar
recipients should be warmed up without lids as
they can burst.
EXCEPTIONS:
Glazed ceramic dish recipients contain many
water molecules and heat a lot, but can be used
in the microwave oven.
If in doubt, contact the supplier of the cookware,
and make sure that they are appropriate for
microwaves.

Oven Maintenance
Cleaning
MAKE SURE THAT THE OVEN IS UNPLUGGED
BEFORE CLEANING THE OVEN.
DON'T USE ABRASIVE CLEANING PRODUCTS.
OUTSIDE
1. Clean the outside surface with a neutral
detergent, warm water and dry it with a
damp cloth.
2. Avoid water from entering the oven
ventilation holes.
INSIDE
1. Clean the oven walls with a damp cloth after
each use.
Light Replacement
In some models the light may be replaced by the
user. These ovens have a lid on the left-hand
side.
To replace the light, do as follows:
1. Unplug the oven;
2. Remove the lid from the light compartment;
3. Replace the light bulb for a new one (25 W);
4. Replace the lid.
WARNING: in the models without the lid to
replace the light bulb, this should be done by the
Technical Assistance Service because special
tools are required.
2. Avoid water from entering the ventilation
holes in the oven's interior.
3. If some time has passed by since the last
cleaning and the oven's interior is dirty, place
a glass of water on the tray and switch on
the oven for 4 minutes on the highest
setting. Moisture will form on the oven walls
which will be easily cleaned.
4. The tray can be washed with regular dish
washing detergent or in the dishwasher.
DOOR, DOOR SEAL, AND OVEN FRONT
1. These parts should always be clean,
especially the contact surface between the
door and the oven front, to prevent
microwave leakage.
2. Use neutral detergent, warm water and dry
the surface with a soft cloth.

Official Technical Assistance Service (T.A.S.)
Solving Problems
Repairs or interventions carried out by an
unqualified serviceman can cause dangerous
situations.
Every and any kind of repair or intervention
should be done by the manufacturer, authorised
agents or qualified technicians.
If you detect any abnormalities in the oven, check
the following before you contact T.A.S:
1. Check if the outlet into which the oven is
plugged has power. To do so, plug another
appliance into the same outlet and check if it
works.
2. If the oven lamp switches on, but the food
does not heat up, check if the door is well
closed (if the door is not properly closed, no
microwaves will be produced).
Cord Replacement
If the cord is damaged, it should be replaced by
the manufacturer, authorised agents or qualified
technicians in order to avoid any dangerous
situation and also because special tools are
required.
