Tips on environmental protection
Eliminating the packaging
The packaging carries the Green Dot. Use the
right bins when discarding all of the packaging
materials, such as the cardboard, styrene and
plastic films. This will ensure that the packaging
materials are recycled.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
requires that old household electrical appliances
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health
and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Before you dispose of your appliance, remove the
power cable, cut it and dispose of it.

Fit the rotating base in the centre of the
microwave cavity and place the rotating plate on
top until it clicks into position. Whenever the
microwave is used, both the rotating plate and the
respective base must be inside the oven and
correctly positioned. The rotating plate turns
clockwise and anti-clockwise.
Warning! The microwave oven may be wrapped
in a protective film. Before switching it on for the
first time, carefully remove this film, starting at the
underside.
In order to ensure proper ventilation for the
appliance, install the microwave in a kitchen
unit with an opening on the top (see attached
sheets).
Warning: after installing the microwave, it is
necessary to guarantee access to the

Advantages of the microwave oven
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.

Defrosting
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. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.

Cooking with microwaves
Before using a container, check if it is suitable for
using in a microwave oven (see: “What kind of
containers may be used?”).
Cut the food before starting to prepare it.
When heating liquids, use containers with a large
neck, so that the steam may evaporate easily.
Prepare foods according to the tips and pay
attention to the cooking times and power levels
indicated in the tables.
Remember that the values given are merely a
guideline and that they may vary depending on
the initial state, temperature, humidity and type of
food. We recommend that the times and power
levels be adjusted to each situation. Depending
on the food, the cooking time should be extended
or shortened and the power level should be raised
or reduced.
Cooking with microwaves...
1. The greater the quantity of food, the longer the
cooking time. Remember the following rules:
•Double the quantity - double the time
•Half the quantity – half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the
cooking time.
3. Liquid foods heat faster.
4. Proper distribution of the food on the rotating
plate facilitates uniform cooking. If the solid
foods are placed on the outer part of the plate
and the least solid in the middle of the plate, it
will be possible to heat different kinds of food at
the same time.
5. The door of the appliance may be opened at
any time. The appliance is automatically
switched off. The microwave only continues to
function if the door is closed.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking
time and their characteristics are better
preserved. The lid must allow the microwaves
to pass through and should have little openings
to allow the steam to come out.

Cooking with microwaves
Important tips!
•Eggs with shells and whole eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens as they may
explode.
•Before heating or cooking foods with shells or
skin (e.g., apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages) prick them with a fork so that they
do not open up.
•When foods are prepared with very little
humidity (e.g. defrosting bread, making
popcorn, etc.), the humidity evaporates very
fast. The appliance then functions with a
vacuum and the food may be carbonised. This
situation may cause damage to the appliance
and to the container being used. Therefore, the
oven should be set only for the necessary time
and the cooking process should be supervised.
•It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil
(fry) in the microwave.
•Do not heat liquids in airtight containers.
Explosion hazard!
•Alcoholic drinks may not be heated to high
temperatures. Therefore, the oven should be
set only for the necessary time and the cooking
process should be supervised.
•Do not heat any kind of explosive material or
liquid in the microwave.
•Remove precooked foods from the
packaging, because the latter is not always
heat-resistant. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•If there are various different containers,
such as cups for example, place them
uniformly on the rotating plate.
•Always heat baby bottles or jars of baby food
without lids or teats. After heating, shake or stir
it well to ensure that the heat is uniformly
distributed. The temperature of the containers
is considerably lower than that of the heated
food. Check the temperature of the food before
giving it to the child, to avoid burns.
•Plastic bags should not be closed with metal
clips, but with plastic ones. The bag should be
perforated several times so that the steam may
come out easily.
•When heating or cooking foods, ensure that
they reach a minimum temperature of 70°C.
•During the cooking process, water vapour
may form on the glass window of the door and
may drip down after a time. This is a normal
situation and may even be significant if the
room temperature is low. This does not
represent a hazard for the safety of the
appliance. After cooking, clean the water
resulting from the condensation.
