1.2 Instructions for using
microwaves
EN
• Check the appliance visually
during the cooking of foods in
plastic or paper containers.
Improper use
Danger of explosion
• When using the microwave to
heat or reheat liquids, the boiling
process may be delayed – boiling
temperature can be reached
without the formation of the usual
"rolling boil". This delayed boiling
and consequent superheating of
the liquid can generate an
explosion inside the appliance, or
sudden boiling over of the
superheated liquid can occur
when removing the container from
the appliance. To avoid these
dangers, it is necessary to insert
the supplied boiling rod (or a
heat-resistant plastic spoon) in the
container while heating.
• Use the microwave only for the
preparation of food for
consumption. Other types of
applications are strictly forbidden
5

oils or fry.
• Do not use the appliance to heat
foods or beverages containing
alcohol.
• Baby food should not be heated in
sealed containers. Remove the
cover or the teat (in the case of
baby bottles). Always check the
preparation's temperature once
heating has completed, it should
not be too high. For an even
temperature and to avoid scalding
stir or shake the contents.
• Do not heat eggs in their shells or
whole hard boiled eggs; they may
explode even after the heating
process has completed.
• Before cooking food with a hard
skin or peel (e.g. potatoes, apples,
etc.) it is necessary to puncture the
skin.

Description
2.3 Other parts
Shelves
The appliance features shelves to position
trays and racks at different heights. The
insertion heights are indicated from the
bottom upwards (see 2.1 General
Description).
Cooling fan
The fan cools the oven and comes into
operation during cooking.
The fan causes a steady outflow of air from
above the door which may continue for a
brief period of time even after the appliance
has been turned off.
Interior lighting
The appliance's interior lighting comes on:
• When the door is opened
• When any function is selected, apart
from the Sabbath mode and the
Vapour Clean function.
• Press the symbol to manually
activate the oven light or the symbol
to deactivate it during use.
In order to save energy, the light turns off
after a minute at the start of cooking (this
function can be deactivated via the
secondary menu).
2.4 Microwaves
The appliance is equipped with a
microwave generator called a magnetron.
The microwaves generated are evenly
emitted into the oven cavity in order to
reach the food and heat it.
Heating takes place through the process of
friction between the molecules contained
within the food (mainly water molecules),
with the consequent generation of heat.
The heat generated directly inside the food
leads to defrosting, re-heating or cooking in
a shorter length of time compared to
traditional cooking.
The use of suitable containers for
microwave cooking allows the microwaves
to reach the food in a uniform manner (see
Materials suitable for microwaves).
