not touch the heating elements that are in the appliance. Always use oven gloves to remove or put in accessories or ovenware.
WARNING: Do not heat liquids and other foods in sealed
containers. They are liable to explode.
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye
on the appliance due to the possibility of ignition.
The appliance is intended for heating food and beverages.
Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
Warning! The oven cannot be used if:
The door is not closed correctly; The door hinges are damaged; The surfaces of the contact between the door and the
oven front are damaged;
The door window glass is damaged; There is frequent electrical arcing inside the oven even
though there is no metal object inside. The oven can only be used again after it has been repaired by a Technical Assistance Service technician.
If smoke is emitted, switch off or unplug the appliance and
keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling. Care must be taken when handling the container.

english
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.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be
stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be
heated in the appliance since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
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!
5
Installation
The electric system must be equipped with a means for
disconnection, with a contact separation in all poles that provides full disconnection under overvoltage category III.
If a plug is used for the electric connection, then it must be
accessible after installation.
The installation must comply with current regulations. Protection against electric shock must be provided by the
electrical installation.
WARNING! The oven must be earthed. WARNING! The appliance is intended to be built in. Please
refer to the last pages of this user manual for detailed information on the installation dimensions.
Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING! Cut the power supply before cleaning and
maintenance.
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.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the glass door since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of 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".

english
WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched off before
replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Please refer to the chapter "CHANGING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB".
Service and Repair
WARNING! Cut the power supply before repair. 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.
Repair and maintenance work, especially of current carrying
parts, can only be carried out by technicians authorized by the manufacturer.
Avoid damaging the oven or other dangerous situations by following these instructions
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.
7
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.
The base and the grills can bear a maximum load of 8 kg. To
avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.

english
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.
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.
Inside the oven, the microwaves are propagated in all directions and reflected by the metallic walls, thus uniformly penetrating the foods.
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.
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...
... and are absorbed by the foods.

If the pizza is thin.
Always use dishes for use in the
microwave oven and a lid or cover to avoid loss of liquids.
Stir or mix the foods several times during
heating, especially when the oven emits a beep and the display is flashing as
follows: .
The time required to heat the food will
depend on its initial temperature. Food taken straight from the fridge will take longer to heat up than food that is at
room temperature. If the food temperature is not what is wanted, select a greater or lesser weight next time you heat up the food.
After heating, stir the food and then leave
the food to stand for some time to allow the temperature to become uniform throughout the food.
Warning! After heating the container may
be very hot. Although microwaves do not heat up most containers, these may heat up through heat transmission from food.
Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or pies, on a grill or in a microwave oven, the dough or pastry becomes soggy. This can be avoided by using a browning plate. As a high temperature is reached quickly on the bottom of the browning plate, the crust turns crisp and brown.
The browning plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
Use oven gloves at all times as the
browning plate will become very hot.
Do not place any recipients on the
browning plate that are not heat­resistant (plastic bowls for example).
Ensure that the browning plate never comes in contact with the oven cavity, in order to avoid any damages.
16
How to cook with the browning plate:
1. Preheat the browning plate by selecting the Microwave and Grill function for 3 to 5 minutes with a 360 W microwaves power level.
2. Brush the browning plate with oil in order to brown the food nicely.
3. Place the fresh or frozen food directly on the browning plate. You can place defrost food (like frozen pizza) without a previous defrosting.
4. Place the browning plate on the ceramic base in the microwave oven.
5. Select the Microwaves and Grill function and the cooking time as described below.

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.
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.
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. Turn the food at regular intervals.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.

Follow these recommendations when cooking with your microwave:
Before heating or cooking foods with
peel or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) prick them so that
they do not burst. Cut the food up before starting to prepare it.
Before using a container or dish make
sure that it is suitable for microwave use (see the section on types of ovenware).

If you have several containers, such as
cups, for example, set them out uniformly on the ceramic base.
Do not close plastic bags with metal
clips. Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several times so that the steam can escape easily.
When heating or cooking foods, check
that they reach at least a temperature of 70°C.
During cooking, steam may form on the
oven door window and may start to drip. This situation is normal and may be more noticeable if the room temperature is low.

initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is advisable to adjust the times and power levels to each situation. Depending on the exact characteristics of the food you may need to increase or shorten the cooking times or increase or decrease the power levels.
Cooking with microwaves...
1. The greater the amount of food, the
longer the cooking time. Keep in mind that:
Double the quantity » double the time Half the quantity » half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer
the cooking time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up
more quickly.
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food
is evenly distributed on the ceramic base. If you put dense foods on the outside part of the ceramic base and less dense ones on the centre of the ceramic base, you can heat up different types of food simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any
time. When you do this the oven switches off automatically. The microwave will only start working again when you close the door and press the start key.
6. Foods that are covered require less
cooking time and retain their characteristics better. The lids used must let microwaves pass through and have small holes that allow steam to escape.

For good results with the grill, use the rack supplied with the oven.
Fit the rack come into contact with the metal surfaces of the oven cavity since if it does there is a danger of electric arcing which may damage the oven.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. When the grill is used for the first time
there will be some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot when the grill is working. Keep
children away.
3. Heat up the grill beforehand for 2
minutes. Unless indicated otherwise, use the rack.
4. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and the rack become very hot. You should use oven gloves.
5. If the grill is used for extended period of time it is normal to find that the elements will switch themselves off temporarily due to the safety thermostat.
6. Important! When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you must check that the container in question is suitable for microwave use. See the section on types of ovenware!
7. When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go onto the elements and be burnt. This is a normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of operating fault.

Table and suggestions Microwave + Grill
The microwave + grill function is ideal for cooking quickly and, at the same time,
browning foods. Furthermore, you can also grill and cook cheese covered food.
The microwave and the grill work simultaneously. The microwave cooks and the grill toasts.
Before using a dish in the microwave oven make sure that it is suitable for microwave use. Only use dishes or containers that are suitable for microwave use.
The dish to be used in the combined function must be suitable for microwave and grill use. See the section on types of ovenware!
Keep in mind that the figures given are merely indicative and can vary as a function of the initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food.
Microwave function
For the microwave function, keep in mind that microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces. Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let microwaves pass.
For this reason, metal pans and dishes or
containers with metal parts or decorations cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware and clay with
If the time is not enough to brown the food well, put it under the grill for another 5 or 10 minutes.
forget to turn the meat pieces. Unless indicated to the contrary, use the
ceramic base for cooking. The values given in the tables are valid when
the oven cavity is cold (it is not necessary to pre-heat the oven).
metallic decoration or content (e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave ovens.
The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens are glass, refractory china or clay, or heat resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china should only be used for short period of times (e.g. heating). Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can become very hot. You should, therefore, always use an oven glove!

How to test ovenware you want to use
Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20 seconds at maximum microwave power. After that time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is suitable to use. However, if it heats up a lot or causes electric arcing it is not suitable for microwave use.
Grill function
In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.
Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.
Microwave + Grill
In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware used must be suitable for use in both the microwave and the grill.
Aluminium containers and foil
Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the following aspects are respected:
recommendations written on the packaging.
The aluminium containers cannot be
more than 3 cm high or come in contact with the cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any aluminium lid or top must be removed.
Put the aluminium container directly on
top of the ceramic base. If you use the rack, put the container on a china plate.
Table – dishware
Never put the container directly on the rack!
The cooking time is longer because the
microwaves only enter the food from the top. If you have any doubts, it is best to use only dishes suitable for microwave use.
Aluminium foil can be used to reflect
microwaves during the defrosting process. Delicate food, such as poultry or minced meat, can be protected from excessive heat by covering the respective extremities/edges.
Important: aluminium foil cannot come
into contact with the cavity walls since this may cause electrical arcing.
Lids
We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or cling film since: ONLY FOR THE MICROWAVE FUNCTION.
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 or openings so that no pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby food and similar containers can only be heated without their tops / lids otherwise they can burst.
The table below gives you a general idea of what type of ovenware is suitable for each situation.

Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.
Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all food remains being removed. If the microwave is not kept clean its surfaces may deteriorate, reducing
king life and possibly
resulting in a dangerous situation. Warning! Cleaning should be done with
the oven power switched off. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, scourers that scratch

surfaces or sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet cleaning appliances.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.
english
Oven interior
After each time the oven is used, clean the inside walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest way to remove splashes or spots of food that may have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not
use oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the microwave ventilation holes. Regularly clean the cavity base, especially after any liquid spillage.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water on the cavity base and switch on the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The steam released will soften the dirt which can then be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice in a cup with water. Put a small spoon in the cup to avoid the water boiling over. Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.
Oven ceiling
If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can be lowered to make cleaning easier. To avoid the danger of burning, wait until the grill is cold before lowering it. Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the grill support by 180º (1)
2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not use
excessive force as this may cause damage.
3. After cleaning the ceiling, put the grill (2)
back in its place, carrying out the previous operation.
IMPORTANT WARNING: The grill heating element support (1) may fall when it is rotated. If this happens, insert the grill heating element support (1) into the slot in the ceiling of the cavity and rotate it 90º to the grill heating element support (2) position.
Accessories
Clean the accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a brush and sponge. The accessories can be washed in a dish washing machine.
Make sure that the ceramic base and the respective support are always clean. Do not switch on the oven unless the ceramic base and the respective support are in place.
WARNING! Any type of repair must only be done by a specialised technician. Any repair done by a person not authorised by the manufacturer is dangerous.
You do not need to contact Technical Assistance to resolve the following questions:
The display is not showing! Check if:
- The time indication has been switched off (see section on Basic Settings).
Nothing happens when I press the
keys! Check if:
- The Safety Block is active (see section on Basic Settings).
25
The oven does not work! Check if:
- The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.
-
- The door is completely closed. The door should close with an audible click.
- There are any foreign bodies between the door and the cavity front.
When the oven is operating I can hear
some strange noises! Check if:
- There is an electrical arcing inside the oven caused by foreign metallic objects (see section on type of ovenware).
- The ovenware is touching the oven walls.
- There are any loose items of cutlery or cooking tools inside the oven.
slowly! Check if:
- You have inadvertently used metal ovenware.
- You have selected the correct operating times and power level.
- The food you have put inside the oven is a larger amount or colder than you usually put in.
The food is too hot, dried out or
burnt!
Check if you selected the correct operating time and power level.
I hear some noises after the
cooking process is finished!
This is not a problem. The cooling fan keeps on working for some time. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.
The oven switches on but the
interior light does not go on!
If all the functions work properly it is probable that the lamp has blown. You can keep on using the oven.
Disconnect the plug and wait approximately 5 seconds. After that, you can plug in the Microwave again, the the appliance is fully operational.
Substitution of light bulb
If the light bulb needs substitution call the Technical Assistance since it is necessary to uninstall the oven to replace it.
