Microwave safety
•Warning: Don’t use the baking tray with
microwave function or combined microwave
function.
•Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched,
especially when using paper, plastic or other
combustible materials. These materials can
char and may fire. FIRE RISK!
•Warning! If you see smoke or fire, keep the
door closed in order to smother the flames.
Switch off the oven and take the plug out of
the socket or cut off the oven power supply.
•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.
•Warning! 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.
•During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
•Warning: Accessible parts may become hot
during use. Young children should be kept
away.
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. 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.

EN
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.
•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.
•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.
•Warning! 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.
•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 – Microwaves! The outer
protection of the oven must not be
removed. It is dangerous for anyone not
authorised 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, authorised
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 authorised 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
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.

•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

Using the Browning Plate
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.
•Never place the browning plate in the oven
without the glass plate.
•Do not place any recipients on the browning
plate that are not heat-resistant (plastic bowls
for example).
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 600 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.
4. Place the browning plate on the glass
turntable in the microwave oven.
5. Select the Microwaves and Grill function and
the cooking time as described below.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
As the browning plate has a Teflon layer, if you
use it incorrectly, it can be damaged.
Never cut the food on the plate. Remove the
food from the plate prior to cutting.
Cleaning:
The best way to clean the browning plate is to
wash it with hot water and detergent and rinse off
with clean water. Do not use a scrubbing brush or
a hard sponge otherwise the top layer will be
damaged.
