Important Information
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.
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.
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. DANGER OF FIRE.
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 oven for anything other than warming, cooking or defrosting food.
Do not operate the oven without its tray nor when empty.
Keep the oven ventilation holes open. Never cover any air vents or openings.

Description of the Microwave Oven
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
the 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 or 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, porcelain…
They are absorbed by the food.

Advice for Good Usage of the Oven
Working with microwaves
Before using any dish, make sure that it is appropriate for use in microwaves (SEE ADVICE ON THE USE OF
UTENSILS AND RECIPIENTS).
Always make a slit in the food's shell before cooking it.
Whenever heating liquids use a recipient with a large opening to allow the vapour to escape.
Remember that:
1. Larger quantities of food require more cooking time.
2. The lower the food temperature the more cooking time is needed.
3. Less dense foods cook faster.
4. An even distribution of the food in the oven guarantees better results. The cooking of different types of
foods simultaneously is possible by placing the dense food in an outside circle and the less dense in
the centre of the plate.
5. Better results are achieved by allowing the food to stand before serving because it continues to cook
for some time after the oven is switched off.
6. The cooking time may be shortened and the liquids preserved (the food doesn't dry out) by covering the
food. The lids should be transparent to allow the microwaves through and they should have a small
opening for the vapour to escape.
Functioning of the grill (only in models with grill)
For best results of the grill, use the grill rack supplied with the appliance.
Do not place the grill rack in contact with the cavity’s metal surface as there may be an electric arc and
consequent damages.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. While the grill is being used for the first time, the producing of fumes and odours is normal, due to the
oils used in the manufacturing process.
2. After the first uses 0f the grill, it is normal for the perforated area that protects the heating elements of
the grill to deform and to become a golden colour due to the high temperatures that the grill reaches
during use.
3. The glass on the door reaches high temperatures during grilling. Therefore the oven should be installed
at least 80 cm above the floor, SO AS TO BE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
4. While in operation, the inside walls of the oven and the grill become very hot, therefore the use of
kitchen gloves is recommended.
5. During extended use of the grill it is normal for the heating elements to switch off for short periods due
to the action of the safety temperature limiter.
6. Do not use plastic containers or others that have poor temperature resistance, as these could be
destroyed due to the high temperatures that the grill reaches.

Advice on the use of Cookware
Metal
Do not use metal dishes, tinned food, food wrapped in tin foil and cutlery inside the microwave oven. The
metal reflects the microwaves and food is not heated.
The food should be removed from its tin foil containers and placed in dishes adequate for use in the
microwave oven. As microwaves don't penetrate tin foil, the food heats only on the surface. By using
appropriate dishes, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the food.
EXCEPTIONS:
To cook or defrost pieces of meat of irregular sizes, you may cover the thinner parts with tin foil, which
should be kept at least 2 cm away from the oven walls, otherwise these may cause an electric arc.
Metal spits may be used as long as they are smaller than the pieces of meat.
Glass
All heat proof glass containers may be used.
Crystal contains a percentage of lead, which may cause it to crack if used in the microwave oven. The same
may happen to glass dishes with jagged edges.
Porcelain
Porcelain dishes may be used but they should not have hollow handles. Humidity may be formed inside the
hollow handles, which will causes an increase in pressure that may cause them to break.
Glazed Ceramic Dishes
This type of dish may heat considerably.
Painted glazed ceramic dishes may be used if the painting is done under the glaze.
Many glazes and colours contain metallic substances. If this is the case they should not be used in the
microwave as they may be damaged.
Recipients with silver and gold glazes may go dark.
Plastic
Plastic dishes should be heat resistant (at least 180° C) or they may be deformed when used in the
microwave. Melamine dishes are not suitable for use in the microwave as they heat up too much.
To cook or heat food in plastic bags, they should be perforated to allow vapour to escape thus preventing
the bag from bursting.
50
Page 17
Wood
Wooden recipients should not be used in the microwave. Wood contains water which evaporates and may
cause the recipient to crack.
Recipient Test
If in doubt about the use of glass, glazed ceramic or porcelain dishes in the microwave oven, do the
following test:
1. Place the empty dish and a glass of water inside the microwave oven.
2. Close the door.
3. Select the microwave function at maximum power.
4. Adjust the timer to 1 minute.
Note: the oven starts
If during this test you hear any noise along with sparks, turn off the oven immediately.
Any kind of cookware that has this kind of behaviour or is very hot when removed from the oven should not
be used in the microwave oven.
EXCEPTIONS:
Glazed ceramic dish recipients contain many water molecules and heat a lot, but can be used in the
microwave oven.
If in doubt, contact the supplier of the cookware, and make sure that they are appropriate for microwaves.
Lids
The use of glass lids, plastic lids or plastic film is advisable because:
1. They prevent the release of excessive vapours especially when cooking for longer periods.
2. They increase the speed of heating food.
3. They prevent the food from drying up.
4. They prevent the loss of the food aroma.
The lids should have holes to avoid pressure. Plastic film should be perforated.
Baby bottles, baby food jars and other similar recipients should be warmed up without lids as they can
burst.

Oven Maintenance
Cleaning
MAKE SURE THAT THE OVEN IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE CLEANING THE OVEN.
DON'T USE ABRASIVE CLEANING PRODUCTS.
OUTSIDE
1. Clean the outside surface with a neutral detergent, warm water and dry it with a damp cloth.
2. Avoid water from entering the oven ventilation holes.
INSIDE
1. Clean the oven walls with a damp cloth after each use.
2. Avoid water from entering the ventilation holes in the oven's interior.
3. If some time has passed by since the last cleaning and the oven's interior is dirty, place a glass of water
on the tray and switch on the oven for 4 minutes on the highest setting. Moisture will form on the oven
walls that will be easily cleaned.
4. The tray can be washed with regular dish washing detergent or in the dishwasher.
DOOR, DOOR SEAL, AND OVEN FRONT
1. These parts should always be clean, especially the contact surface between the door and the oven
front, to prevent microwave leakage.
2. Use neutral detergent, warm water and dry the surface with a soft cloth.
Light Replacement
In some models the light may be replaced by the user. These ovens have a lid on the left-hand side.
To replace the light, do as follows:
1. Unplug the oven;
2. Remove the lid from the light compartment;
3. Replace the light bulb for a new one (25 W);
4. Replace the lid.
WARNING: in the models without the lid to replace the light bulb, this should be done by the Technical
Assistance Service because special tools are required.

Official Technical Assistance Service (T.A.S.)
Solving Problems
Repairs or interventions carried out by an unqualified serviceman can cause dangerous situations.
Every and any kind of repair or intervention should be done by the manufacturer, authorised agents or
qualified technicians.
If you detect any abnormalities in the oven, check the following before you contact T.A.S:
1. Check if the outlet into which the oven is plugged has power. To do so, plug another appliance into the
same outlet and check if it works.
2. If the oven lamp switches on, but the food does not heat up, check if the door is well closed (if the door
is not properly closed, no microwaves will be produced).
Cord Replacement
If the cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, authorised agents or qualified
technicians in order to avoid any dangerous situation and also because special tools are required.
