Important

• Read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for

the first time.

• Do not allow children near the oven when in use.

• Do not perform maintenance or cleaning of the oven without first

switching o the electricity supply. If the oven has recently been
used, allow to cool.

• Clean the appliance regularly.

• Remove spills as soon as they occur.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the

surface of the enamel.

• Do not allow vinegar, coee, milk, saltwater, lemon or tomato juice

to remain in contact with enamel parts.

Check the door seal and door frame regularly to ensure they are not

damaged.

• Do not attempt to repair the internal workings of your oven.

• Only open the door using the handle

• The microwave will not function if the door is not closed correctly.

• The internal light will switch o automatically three minutes after the

door is opened.

• To eliminate moisture, this appliance is equipped with a delayed

cooling function. The cooling fan will continue to run after the end
of the programme and will stop automatically when it is no longer
required.

• It is possible to adjust the cooking time during cooking. This option

is not available on the preset defrost programmes.

• This appliance is designed to operate on all functions with the door

closed.

• Never operate the microwave when empty or without the turntable

in place to prevent damage to your appliance.

• Do not tamper with the openings on the lock on the front of the

5

appliance. This could damage the appliance and may not be
covered by the warranty.

• Do not cook food or liquids in sealed containers as there is a risk

they may explode. This includes baby bottles with the teat in place.

• Baby milk and baby food must be stirred thoroughly after cooking

and the temperature checked before consumption to ensure even
temperature distribution and to prevent injury.

• Heating liquids in the microwave can cause sudden or delayed

eruption, so care must be taken when handling their containers.

• Do not cook eggs in their shells or whole hardboiled eggs in the

microwave as there is a risk they may explode, even after cooking
has ended.

• When heating small quantities of food (e.g. a sausage or a slice of

bread), place a glass of water next to the food for best results.

• Excessive cooking times may dry out or burn food. Do not use the

recommended cooking times for a conventional oven when cooking
in your appliance.

• Cover food with plastic microwave-safe food wrap or an inverted

plate before cooking.

• Use only microwave safe utensils. The use of metallic cookware,

forks, spoons, knives or metal staples and fasteners for defrosting
bags is not recommended.

• Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the oven. Some

dishes will absorb the heat from the food and so are hot to the
touch after cooking.

• When cooking or reheating items in paper or plastic containers, you

should monitor the microwave contents due the risk of combustion.

• If you see smoke inside the microwave, stop the programme, switch

o the power at the plug and leave the door closed to stifle any
flames inside the cavity.

How Your Appliance

Works

The microwaves used for cooking
are electromagnetic waves. They are
commonly found in our environment
in the form of radio waves, light and
infrared rays.

Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.

Microwaves are reflected by metals, but travel through all other
materials. They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves, its molecules begin moving
rapidly, causing it to heat up.

The penetration depth of the waves into the food is approximately

2.5 cm. If the food is thicker, the centre of the food will be cooked by
conduction, as in conventional cooking.

Please note: Microwaves cause a simple thermal phenomenon
within food and are not harmful to health.
