Tips on environmental protection
Eliminating the packaging
The packaging carries the Green Dot. Use the
right bins when discarding all of the packaging
materials, such as the cardboard, styrene and
plastic films. This will ensure that the packaging
materials are recycled.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
requires that old household electrical appliances
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health
and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.

Safety tips
The following tips avoid damage to the
appliance:
• Do not switch on the appliance without the
rotating base and respective plate.
• Do not switch on the appliance when it is
empty. This may result in overload, if there is
no food inside.
• Only use microwave-safe dishes.
• Do not keep any inflammable object inside the
oven, because it may go on fire when the oven
is switched on.
• Eggs with shells and whole boiled eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens because
they may explode.
• Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks in
the microwave.
THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.
• Warning: do not heat liquids or other foods in
closed containers, because they could easily
explode.
GB
Be careful!
• When heating small amounts of food, it is
very important not to select long periods of time
or very high power levels, because the food
may overheat or burn. For example, bread may
burn after 3 minutes if a very high power level
is selected.
• To toast, only use the grill function and
supervise the oven at all times. If you are
using the combined function (microwave
and grill) to toast, the bread will go on fire
in a very short period of time.
• Always heat baby food in jars or bottles
without lids or teats. After heating the food,
shake or stir it well to ensure that the heat is
uniformly distributed. Check the temperature of
the food before giving it to the child, Burning
hazard!
In case of repair:
• ¡Warning – Microwaves! The outer
protection should not be removed. Any
repair or maintenance carried out by persons
that have not been authorised by the
manufacturer is dangerous.
Be careful when heating liquids!
• When heating liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk,
etc.), they may almost reach boiling point
inside the appliance and if they are removed
suddenly, may fly out of the container. This
may cause injuries and burns!
• In order to avoid this type of situations, put a
plastic spoon or glass rod in the container
when heating liquids.
• Warning: The light bulb may only be replaced
by the Technical Support Service.
• If the power cable is damaged, only the
Technical Support Service may replace it with
one of the same characteristics, in order to
avoid damage.
• Repairs and maintenance, especially of
charged parts, may only be carried out by
technicians that have been authorised by the
manufacturer.

Advantages of the microwave oven
In a conventional cooker, the heat that is radiated
through the resistances or gas burners slowly
penetrates the foods from the outside in.
Therefore, there is a great loss of energy in
heating the air, the oven components and the
containers holding the food.
Why the food is heated
Most foods contain water and the water
molecules vibrate with the microwaves.
The friction between the molecules generates
heat, which raises the temperature of the foods,
defrosting or cooking them or keeping them hot.
In the microwave, the heat is generated by the
foods themselves, i.e. the heat goes from the
inside out. There is no loss of heat to the air, the
walls of the cavity or the containers (as long as
they are microwave-safe containers). This means
that only the food is heated.
To sum up, microwave ovens have the following
advantages:
1. Savings in cooking time; in general, there is a
¾ reduction in time compared to conventional
cooking.
2. Ultra fast defrosting of foods, thus reducing the
danger of bacteria developing.
3. Energy-saving.
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods
due to the reduction in cooking time.
Microwave oven operating mode
The microwave oven contains a high voltage
valve called a Magnetron, which converts the
electrical energy into microwave energy. These
electromagnetic waves are channelled towards
the inside of the oven by a wave guide and
distributed using a metallic disperser or a rotating
plate.
Because heat is formed inside the foods:
• The foods may be cooked without any liquids
or oils, or with very little of these;
• Defrosting, heating or cooking in the
microwave oven is faster than in a conventional
oven;
• The vitamins, minerals and nutritious
substances are conserved;
• Neither the natural colour nor the aroma are
altered.
The microwaves go through porcelain, glass,
cardboard or plastic, but not trough metal. For this
reason, metallic containers or containers with
metallic parts should not be used in the
microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal...
... they go through glass and porcelain...
Inside the oven, the microwaves are propagated
in all directions and reflected by the metallic walls,
thus uniformly penetrating the foods.

... and are absorbed by the foods.
Instructions for use
Warning! Never use the microwave when it is
empty, i.e. when it does not contain any food.

Defrosting
General tips for defrosting
1. Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting
(porcelain, glass, suitable plastic).
2. The tables refer to defrosting of raw foods.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity
and the height of the food. When freezing
foods, prepare for the defrosting process.
Distribute the food in parts that match the size
of the container.
4. Distribute the food as well as possible inside
the microwave. The thickest parts of the fish or
the chicken legs should be placed on top. The
most delicate parts may be protected using
aluminium foil. Important: the aluminium foil
should not come in contact with the walls of the
cavity, as this could cause an electrical arch.
5. The most dense parts should be turned around
several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food in the most uniform
manner possible, because the thin, narrow
parts defrost fast than the thickest parts at the
top.
8. Place poultry on a turn over plate so that the
juices may drain more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it
does not get too dry.
10. Remove frozen foods from its packaging and
do not forget to remove any metal clips. If the
containers that are used to keep the foods in
the freezer may also be used for heating and
cooking, just remove the lid. Otherwise, place
the foods in containers that are suitable for
microwave ovens.
11. The liquid that results in the defrosting
process, particularly in the case of poultry,
should be discarded and under no
circumstances should it come in contact with
other foods.
12. Bear in mind that a resting period is required
in defrosting function, so that the food is
totally defrosted. This normally takes between
15 to 20 minutes.
7. Foods that are rich in fats, such as butter,
cottage cheese and cream, should not be
entirely defrosted. If they are at room
temperature, they will be ready to serve within
a few minutes. In the case of deep-frozen
cream, if there are little bits of ice, the cream
should be whipped before eating.
30
Cooking with microwaves
Before using a container, check if it is suitable for
using in a microwave oven (see: “What kind of
containers may be used?”).
Cut the food before starting to prepare it.
When heating liquids, use containers with a large
neck, so that the steam may evaporate easily.
Prepare foods according to the tips and pay
attention to the cooking times and power levels
indicated in the tables.
Remember that the values given are merely a
guideline and that they may vary depending on
the initial state, temperature, humidity and type of
food. We recommend that the times and power
levels be adjusted to each situation. Depending
on the food, the cooking time should be extended
or shortened and the power level should be raised
or reduced.
Cooking with microwaves...
GB
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the
cooking time.
3. Liquid foods heat faster.
4. Proper distribution of the food on the rotating
plate facilitates uniform cooking. If the solid
foods are placed on the outer part of the plate
and the least solid in the middle of the plate, it
will be possible to heat different kinds of food at
the same time.
5. The door of the appliance may be opened at
any time. The appliance is automatically
switched off. The microwave only continues to
function if the door is closed.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking
time and their characteristics are better
preserved. The lid must allow the microwaves
to pass through and should have little openings
to allow the steam to come out.
1. The greater the quantity of food, the longer the
cooking time. Remember the following rules:
• Double the quantity - double the time
• Half the quantity – half the time
31
GB
Cooking with microwaves
Important tips!
• Eggs with shells and whole eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens as they may
explode.
• Before heating or cooking foods with shells or
skin (e.g., apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages) prick them with a fork so that they
do not open up.
• When foods are prepared with very little
humidity (e.g. defrosting bread, making
popcorn, etc.), the humidity evaporates very
fast. The appliance then functions with a
vacuum and the food may be carbonised. This
situation may cause damage to the appliance
and to the container being used. Therefore, the
oven should be set only for the necessary time
and the cooking process should be supervised.
• It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil
(fry) in the microwave.
• Do not heat liquids in airtight containers.
Explosion hazard!
• Alcoholic drinks may not be heated to high
temperatures. Therefore, the oven should be
set only for the necessary time and the cooking
process should be supervised.
• If there are various different containers,
such as cups for example, place them
uniformly on the rotating plate.
• Always heat baby bottles or jars of baby food
without lids or teats. After heating, shake or stir
it well to ensure that the heat is uniformly
distributed. The temperature of the containers
is considerably lower than that of the heated
food. Check the temperature of the food before
giving it to the child, to avoid burns.
• Plastic bags should not be closed with metal
clips, but with plastic ones. The bag should be
perforated several times so that the steam may
come out easily.
• When heating or cooking foods, ensure that
they reach a minimum temperature of 70°C .
• During the cooking process, water vapour
may form on the glass window of the door and
may drip down after a time. This is a normal
situation and may even be significant if the
room temperature is low. This does not
represent a hazard for the safety of the
appliance. After cooking, clean the water
resulting from the condensation.
• Do not heat any kind of explosive material or
liquid in the microwave.
• Remove precooked foods from the
packaging, because the latter is not always
heat-resistant. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.

What type of containers may be used?
Microwave function
In the microwave function, it is important to
remember that the microwaves are reflected by
metallic surfaces. Glass, porcelain, ceramic,
plastic and paper will allow the microwaves to
pass through.
Therefore, metallic pans and dishes for
cooking or containers with metallic
components or decorations may not be used
in the microwave. Glassware and ceramic with
metallic decorations or parts (e.g. lead glass)
may not be used.
The ideal materials to be used for cooking in a
microwave oven are refractory, heat-resistant
glass, porcelain or ceramic. Very fine crystal and
porcelain should only be used for a short time, to
defrost or reheat foods that have already been
cooked.
Test the dishes
Place the dish inside the oven at the maximum
power level for 20 seconds. If it is cold or not very
hot, it is suitable. However, if it gets very hot or
causes an electrical arch, it is not suitable.
Hot foods transmit heat to the dish, which may
become very hot. Therefore, always use a glove!
• Pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions
that are printed on the packaging,
• Aluminium containers should not be higher
than 3 cm and they should not come into
contact with the walls of the cavity (minimum
distance 3 cm). The aluminium lid should be
removed.
• Place the aluminium container directly on the
rotating plate. If the grille is used, the container
should be placed on a porcelain plate. Never
put the container directly on the grille!
• The cooking time will be longer because the
microwaves only enter the food from above. In
case of doubt, only use microwave-safe dishes.
• Aluminium foil may be used to reflect the
microwaves during the defrosting process.
Delicate foods, such as poultry or minced
meat, may be protected from excessive heat by
covering the respective ends.
• Important: the aluminium foil must not come
into contact with the walls of the cavity, as this
could cause an electrical arch.
Lids
The use of glass or plastic lids or adherent film is
recommended, for the following reasons:
Aluminium containers and foils
Precooked foods in aluminium containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil may be placed in the
microwave oven if the following instructions are
followed:
1. They prevent excessive evaporation (especially
in very long cooking periods);
2. The cooking process is faster;
3. The food does not go dry;
4. The aroma is preserved.
The lid should have holes to avoid any type of
pressure from building up. Plastic bags should
also have openings. Baby bottles and baby food
jars and other similar containers must only be
heated without the lid, as they might explode if it
is left on.
The following table gives general guidelines on
the type of dishes that are suitable for each
situation.

Cleaning and care
BEFORE CLEANING the microwave, ENSURE
THAT THE PLUG IS NOT IN THE SOCKET.
After using the appliance, let it cool off. Do not
clean the appliance with abrasive cleaning
products, scourers that will scratch the surface or
sharp objects.
Outer surface:
1. Clean the outer surface with a neutral
detergent, lukewarm water and a damp cloth.
2. Do not allow water to pass through the outer
structure.
Inside:
1. After each use, clean the inside walls with a
damp cloth.
2. Do not allow water to enter the ventilation holes
of the microwave oven.
3. If it has been some time since the last cleaning
and the cavity of the microwave oven is dirty,
put a glass of water on the tray and connect
the microwave at maximum power for 4
minutes. The steam that is released will soften
the dirt, which will be easy to clean with a soft
cloth.
4. Clean accessories after each use. If they are
very dirty, steep them first and then use a
brush and a sponge. The accessories may be
washed in the dishwasher. Ensure that the
rotating plate and respective base are always
clean.
Door, door-hinges and front of the appliance:
1. These parts must always be clean,
especially the contact surfaces between the
door and the front of the appliance, so that
there are no leaks.
2. To clean, use a neutral detergent and
lukewarm water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Mica covers:
Always keep the mica covers clean. Food
remaining in the covers may deform it or
produce sparks if they go on fire. Therefore,
they should be cleaned on a regular basis, but
abrasive cleaning products or sharp objects
should not be used. Do not remove the
covers, to avoid any risk.
Important! The appliance should not be
cleaned with steam cleaning machines. The
steam may reach the charged parts and cause
a short circuit.
The most soiled stainless steel surfaces may
be cleaned using a non-abrasive cleaning
product.
Then they should be rinsed with hot water and
dried well.

Troubleshooting
The appliance does not function properly:
• Is the power plug correctly inserted in the
socket?
• Is the door properly closed? The door should
make an audible click when it closes.
• Are there any foreign bodies between the door
and the ring?
The foods do not heat up or they heat very
slowly:
• Did you use a metallic dish by mistake?
• Did you select the right operating time and
power level?
• Did you place a larger or colder amount of food
than usual in the microwave?
The food is too hot, dry or burned:
• Did you select the right operating time and
power level?

The inside lighting does not come on:
• If all of the functions are operating correctly,
the bulb is probably blown. You may continue
to use the appliance.
• The light bulb may only be replaced by the
Technical Support Service.
The power cable is damaged
• The power cable must be replaced by the
manufacturer, authorised agents or technicians
that are qualified to perform this task, in order
to avoid dangerous situations and because
special tools are needed.
If any other type of fault is noticed, contact the
Customer Support Service.
All repairs must be performed by specialised
technicians.
There are noises while the appliance is in
operation:
• Is there an electrical arch inside the
microwave?
• Is the dish coming into contact with the walls of
the cavity?
• Are there loose skewers or spoons inside the
microwave?
