Microwave safety
•Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched,
especially when using paper, plastic or other
combustible materials. These materials can
char and may cause fire. FIRE RISK!
•Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE
RISK!
•Warning! Do not heat liquids or other foods
in closed containers since these may
explode readily.
•Warning! This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
•Warning! If the oven has a combined
function mode (microwave with other means
of heating), children should not be allowed to
use the oven without adult supervision on
account of the high temperatures generated.
•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.
Beware!
•Never heat baby foods or drinks in bottles or
jars with the teats or lids on them. After
heating the food mix or shake well so that
the heat is spread evenly. Check the food
temperature before feeding this to the child.
DANGER OF BURNING!
•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. If 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!

Microwave safety
This oven is exclusively for domestic use!
Use the oven only for preparing meals.
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.
•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.
•Eggs with their shells and whole boiled
eggs must not be heated in microwave
ovens because they may explode.
•Do not use the oven for frying as it is
impossible to control the temperature of oil
heated by microwaves.
•To avoid being burnt, always use oven
gloves for handling dishes and containers
and touching the oven.
•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.
Cleaning:
•Warning! Your microwave oven must be
cleaned regularly. All food remains must
be removed (see section on Oven
Cleaning). If the microwave oven is not
kept clean its surface may deteriorate and
this may shorten the oven’s working life
and could even result in a dangerous
situation.
•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.
•Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering
of the glass.
•Do not use high pressure or stream jet
cleaning appliances.
•Please follow the instructions regarding
cleaning in the section “Oven Cleaning and
Maintenance”.
Repairs:
•Warning –Microwaves! The outer
protection of the oven must not be
removed. It is dangerous for anyone not
authorized by the manufacturer to carry
out any kind of repair or maintenance
work.
•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.

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 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,
defrosting 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;
•Defrosting, 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.
