Remove the microwave oven from packing. Remove all packing materials and accessories
from the microwave oven cavity. Check whether the following parts are in good
condition:
- Door and hinges;
- Front of the microwave oven;
- Inside and outside of microwave oven.
Should you find any faults DO NOT USE THE MICROWAVE OVEN, and contact your dealer.
Place the microwave oven on a flat stable surface able to support its weight.
To allow efficient cooling of the microwave oven its installation is recommended in a unit with an opening in the upper part (refer to the installation instructions leaflet enclosed).
Warning: The microwave oven plug shall be accessible after installation.
When installing the microwave oven great care should be taken to ensure that the mains power cable cannot come into contact with the rear since the high temperatures involved could cause damage.
When the microwave oven is installed in a column with a conventional oven, the microwave oven must not be located underneath the conventional oven because of the possibility of condensation forming inside the latter.
The microwave oven has been supplied with a mono-phase power supply cord. The appliance must be earthed.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturers and dealers are not liable for any breakdowns or personal accidents should these installation instructions not be observed by the purchaser.

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.
WARNING: When the microwave oven is operated in the Combination mode (Microwaves + Grill), children should only be allowed to use the unit under adult supervision due to the high temperatures generated.
WARNING: The microwave oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed (please see the chapter on Oven Maintenance for details). Failure to maintain the oven 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.
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.
Eggs with their shell and whole boiled eggs shouldn’t be warmed up in microwave ovens as they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. 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. FIRE DANGER.
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 microwave oven for anything other than warming, cooking or defrosting food.
Do not operate the microwave oven without its tray nor when empty.
Keep the microwave oven ventilation holes open. Never cover any air vents or openings.

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 th e 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 that 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 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 colour and smell of the food.
The Microwaves pass through porcelain, glass, cardboard and 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 pass through Glass and Porcelain
and they are absorbed by the food.
