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.

5
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!

6
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.

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".

7
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".

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.

8
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

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.

Important Notes:
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 heat-
resistant (plastic bowls for example).
Ensure that the browning plate never
comes in contact with the oven cavity, in
order to avoid any damages.
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

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.
microwave.
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).
When cooking food with very little
moisture (e.g. defrosting bread, making
popcorn, etc.) evaporation is very quick.
The oven then works as if it was empty
