*Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. Care
must be taken when handling the container.
*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.
*To achieve the best results when warming up small loads (such as a glass of
water, a milk mug or a popcorn bag) it is suggested that they are placed on the
glass tray and position it at the 1st or higher levels.
*Turn or stir the food at regular intervals to improve heating uniformity.
*To achieve the best cooking results with microwaves the rack must be
removed, place the food on the glass tray and position it at the bottom or
higher levels.
*Do not place any food or recipient with food/liquid directly on the bottom of the
cavity. For better heating results always place the food orrecipient with food/
liquid over the glass tray.
*Do not cover the bottom of the oven cavity with aluminum or tin foil sheets as
there is the risk of damaging the oven.

1.4 Avoid damaging the Microwave 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.
*Place correctly the oven accessories on the side racks (see the section
“Accessories”.)
*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.
*Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. This may damage the oven, especially
in the hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.
*Failure to secure tightly the support with the nuts may lead to overheating
and damages.
1.5 Installation
*The installation must comply with current regulations.
*The electrical installation is to be set up so that the appliance can be isolated
from the mains with a minimum 3mm all-pole contact separation. Suitable
separation devices include e.g. cutouts, RCD’s and contactors.
*If the electrical connection is done through a plug and this remains accessible
after installation, then it is not necessary to provide the mentioned separation
device.
*Protection against electric shock must be provided by the electrical installation.

2. 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.
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.
2.1 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.
2.2 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.

12
ENMLBC45 / User guide - Installation advice
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.
3. Before rst use
There may be traces of fat and other substances in the oven as a result of the
manufacturing process. These should be removed using the following procedure:
1. Remove all the packaging from your oven, including the protective plastic,
if any.
2. Turn your oven to or , at 200 ºC for 1 hour.
3. Cool the oven with the door open so that it ventilates, and no odors remain
inside it.
4. Once cold, clean the oven and the accessories.
During this first operation, smoke and smells will be produced. The kitchen
should therefore be well ventilated.
4. Other important instructions
*Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil as this may affect
cooking performance and damage the enamel inside the oven and the interior
of your kitchen unit.
*Do not pour water on the bottom surface when in use; this may damage the
enamel.
*It is normal for condensation to occur on the oven door when cooking food
with a high liquid content.
*When closing the oven door during cooking, the sound of the air inside it can be
heard. This effect is normal due to the pressure exerted by the door when it is
closed, guaranteeing the sealing of the cavity.
