–by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;
–bed and breakfast type environments.
Internally the appliance becomes hot when in operation. Do 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.

EN
Safety Information
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.
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.

Safety Information
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!
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.
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.
Protection against electric shock must be provided by the
electrical installation
Warning: The oven must be earthed.
CLEANING
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.

Safety Information
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".
REPAIRS
WARNING: Before maintenance cut the power supply.
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. Furthermore, special
tools are required for this task.
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:
Do not switch on the oven without the turntable support, the
turntable ring and the respective plate being in place.
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.

Safety Information
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
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.
The turntable and the grills can bear a maximum load of 8 kg. To
avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.

The advantages of microwaves
In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical
elements or gas burners slowly penetrates the
food from outside to inside. On account of this
there is a major amount of energy is wasted
heating the air, the oven components and the food
containers.
In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the
food itself and the heat travels from inside to
outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the
oven cavity or the dishes and containers (if these
are suitable for use in microwave oven), in other
words, only the food is heated.
Microwave ovens have the following advantages:
1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are
up to 3/4 less than the time required for
conventional cooking.
2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the
danger of bacterial development.
3. Energy savings.
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods
due to the shorter cooking times.
5. Easy to clean.
How a microwave oven works
In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve
called a magnetron which converts electrical
energy into microwave energy. These
electromagnetic waves are channelled to the
interior of the oven through a wave guide and
distributed by a metallic spreader or through a
turntable.
Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all
directions and are reflected by the metal walls,
uniformly penetrating the food.
Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water molecules
vibrate when subjected to microwaves.
The friction between molecules produces heat
which raises the temperature of the food, de-
freezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot.
Since the heat arises inside the food:
This can be cooked with little or no liquid or
fats/oils;
De-freezing, heating or cooking in a
microwave oven is quicker than in a
conventional oven;
The vitamins, minerals and nutritional
substances in the food are conserved;
The natural colour and aroma of the food are
unchanged.
Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard
or plastic but do not go through metal. For this
reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts
must not be used in a microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal...
... but go through glass and china...
and are absorbed by foods.
