Microwave safety
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 does not close correctly;
- The door hinges are damaged;
- The contact surfaces 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. (The spoon cannot come in contact
with the cavity walls - minimum distance 3 cm)

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:
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).
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.
The ceramic base in the cavity 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
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
ceramic base.
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.

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. You can place defrost
food (like frozen pizza) without a previous
defrosting.
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.
How to clean the browning plate
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.
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.
Turn the food over preferably with a plastic or
wooden spatula.

Defrosting
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are
appropriate for microwaves (china, glass,
suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables
refer to the defrosting of raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity
and thickness of the food. When freezing
food keep the defrosting process in mind.
Distribute the food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside
the oven. The thickest parts of fish or
chicken drumsticks should be turned towards
the outside. You can protect the most
delicate parts of food with pieces of
aluminium foil. Important: The aluminium
foil must not come into contact with the oven
cavity interior as this can cause electrical
arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned
several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as
possible since narrow and thin portions
defrost more quickly than the thicker and
broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese
and cream should not be completely
defrosted. If they are kept at room
temperature they will be ready to be served
in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if
you find small pieces of ice in it, you should
mix these in before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that
the meat juices can run off more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that
it does not become too dry.
10. Turn the food whenever the oven lets out a
beep and the display flashes the word:
.
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and
do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags.
For containers that are used to keep frozen
food in the freezer and which can also be
used for heating and cooking, all you need to
do is take off the lid. For all other cases you
should put the food into containers that are
suitable for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting,
principally that from poultry, should be
discarded. In no event should such liquids be
allowed to come into contact with other
foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting
function you need to allow for standing time
until the food is completely defrosted.

Cooking with a microwave oven
Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety”
before cooking with your 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 and the food may
burn. The oven and the container may be
damaged in such a situation. You should
therefore set just the cooking time necessary
and you must keep a close eye on the cooking
process.
It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil
(frying) in the microwave.
Remove pre-cooked food from the containers
they come in since these are not always heat
resistant. Follow the food manufacturer’s
instructions.
If you have several containers, such as cups,
for example, set them out uniformly on the
ceramic base.
Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use
plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several
times so that the steam can escape easily.
When heating or cooking foods, check that they
reach at least a temperature of 70°C.
During cooking, steam may form on the oven
door window and may start to drip. This
situation is normal and may be more
noticeable if the room temperature is low. The
oven’s safe working is not affected by this.
After you have finished cooking, clean up the
water coming from the condensation
When heating liquids, use containers with a
wide opening, so that the steam can
evaporate easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and
keep in mind the cooking times and power levels
indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only
indicative and can vary depending on the initial
state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is
advisable to adjust the times and power levels to
each situation. Depending on the exact
characteristics of the food you may need to
increase or shorten the cooking times or increase
or decrease the power levels.
Cooking with microwaves...
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the
cooking time. Keep in mind that:
Double the quantity » double the time
Half the quantity » half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the
cooking time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more
quickly.
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is
evenly distributed on the ceramic base. If you put
dense foods on the outside part of the plate and
less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you
can heat up different types of food simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any time. When
you do this the oven switches off automatically.
The microwave will only start working again when
you close the door and press the start key.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking
time and retain their characteristics better. The
lids used must let microwaves pass through and
have small holes that allow steam to escape.
