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.

Safety tips
The following tips avoid damage to the
appliance:
•Do not switch on the appliance without the
rotating base and respective plate.
•Do not switch on the appliance when it is
empty. This may result in overload, if there is
no food inside.
•Only use microwave-safe dishes.
•Do not keep any inflammable object inside the
oven, because it may go on fire when the oven
is switched on.
•Eggs with shells and whole boiled eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens because
they may explode.
•Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks in
the microwave.
THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.
•Warning: do not heat liquids or other foods in
closed containers, because they could easily
explode.
Be careful when heating liquids!
•When heating liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk,
etc.), they may almost reach boiling point
inside the appliance and if they are removed
suddenly, may fly out of the container. This
may cause injuries and burns!
•In order to avoid this type of situations, put a
plastic spoon or glass rod in the container
when heating liquids.
Be careful!
•When heating small amounts of food, it is
very important not to select long periods of time
or very high power levels, because the food
may overheat or burn. For example, bread may
burn after 3 minutes if a very high power level
is selected.
•To toast, only use the grill function and
supervise the oven at all times. If you are using
the combined function (microwave and grill) to
toast, the bread will go on fire in a very short
period of time.
•Always heat baby food in jars or bottles
without lids or teats. After heating the food,
shake or stir it well to ensure that the heat is
uniformly distributed. Check the temperature of
the food before giving it to the child, Burning
hazard!
In case of repair:
•¡Warning – Microwaves! The outer
protection should not be removed. Any
repair or maintenance carried out by persons
that have not been authorised by the
manufacturer is dangerous.
•Warning: The light bulb may only be replaced
by the Technical Support Service.
•If the power cable is damaged, only the
Technical Support Service may replace it with
one of the same characteristics, in order to
avoid damage.
•Repairs and maintenance, especially of
charged parts, may only be carried out by
technicians that have been authorised by the
manufacturer.

Installation instructions
Use the “open” button to open the door and
remove all packaging materials. Then clean the
inside and the accessories with a damp cloth
and dry them. Do not use abrasive or strong-
smelling products.
Ensure that the following parts are in good
condition:
•Door and hinges
•Front of the microwave
•Inner and outer surfaces of the appliance
DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE if you notice
any kind of defect in the aforementioned parts. If
this occurs, contact the After Sales Service.
Place the appliance on a stable, flat surface.
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
electrical socket.
During installation, ensure that the power
cable does not come into contact with the
back of the appliance, because the high
temperatures may damage the cable.
If you are installing a microwave and a
conventional oven in the same column, the
microwave must not be placed under the
oven, because of the formation of
condensation.
The appliance must not be placed in the vicinity
of heating elements, radios or television sets.
The appliance is equipped with a power cable
and a plug for single phase current.
WARNING: The microwave MUST ONLY BE
CONNECTED TO GROUNDED ELECTRICAL
SOCKETS.

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.
5. Easy cleaning.
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.
