natural_image Simple line drawing of a glass with an X mark crossed out (no text or symbols)

- When using the microwave to heat or reheat liquids, the boiling process may be delayed – boiling temperature can be reached without the formation of the usual "rolling boil". This delayed boiling and consequent superheating of the liquid can generate an explosion inside the appliance, or sudden boiling over of the superheated liquid can occur when removing the container from the appliance. To avoid these dangers, it is necessary to insert the supplied boiling rod (or a heat-resistant plastic spoon) in the container while heating.

- Use the microwave only for the preparation of food for consumption. Other types of applications are strictly forbidden (e.g. drying clothes, warming

slippers, sponges, wet cloths or the like, dehydrating foods) because they can lead to the risk of injury or fire.

  • Clean the appliance constantly and remove any food residue.
  • Do not use the microwave to dry food.
  • Do not use the microwave to heat oils or fry.
  • Do not use the appliance to heat foods or beverages containing alcohol.
  • Baby food should not be heated in sealed containers. Remove the cover or the teat (in the case of baby bottles). Always check the preparation's temperature once heating has completed, it should not be too high. For an even temperature and to avoid scalding stir or shake the contents.
  • Do not heat eggs in their shells or whole hard boiled eggs; they may explode even after the heating process has completed.
  • Before cooking food with a hard skin or peel (e.g. potatoes, apples, etc.) it is necessary to puncture the skin.
  • Do not heat food contained within food packages.
  • Do not use the microwave functions when the oven is empty.

  • Use cookware and utensils that are suitable for use in a microwave oven.

  • Do not use aluminium containers to cook food.
  • Do not use dishes with metallic decorations (gold-plated or silver).
  • The appliance operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band.
  • In compliance with the provisions relating to electromagnetic compatibility the appliance belongs to group 2 and class B (EN 55011).

Temperature knob (1)

This knob is used to select:

  • Microwave power level
  • Cooking temperature
    • Function's duration
    • Programmed cooking procedures
  • Current time
  • Switching on or off of the appliance internal lamp.

Display (2)

Displays the current time, the selected cooking function, power and temperature and any time set.

Function knob (3)

This knob can be used to:

• Turn the appliance on and off
- Select a function
• Temporarily start or stop a function.

2.3 Other parts

Shelves

The appliance features shelves to position trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see 2.1 General Description).

Cooling fan

The fan cools the oven and comes into operation during cooking.

The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off.

Interior lighting

The oven light comes on when the door is opened or any function is selected. To save energy, the lamp will remain on for one minute at the beginning of each cooking cycle (this feature can be disabled through the secondary menu).

Turn the temperature knob briefly to the right to activate or deactivate internal lighting.

2.4 Microwaves

The appliance is equipped with a microwave generator called a magnetron. The microwaves generated are evenly emitted into the oven compartment in order to reach the food and heat it.

Heating takes place through the process of friction between the molecules contained in the food (mainly water molecules), with the consequent generation of heat.

The heat generated directly inside the food leads to defrosting, re-heating or cooking in a shorter length of time compared to traditional cooking.

The use of suitable containers for microwave cooking allows the microwaves to reach the food in a uniform manner (see Materials suitable for microwaves).

Eco

The combination of the fan and the circular heating element, in ECO mode, is particularly indicated for cooking on a single shelf, with reduced power consumption.

SMEG SFA4920MCX - Eco - 1

Convection

As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.

SMEG SFA4920MCX - Convection - 1

Grill

The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and allows you to give the food an even browning at the end of the cooking. Perfect for sausages, spare ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

SMEG SFA4920MCX - Grill - 1

Fan assisted

The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures consistent cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 1^st and 3^rd shelves).

SMEG SFA4920MCX - Fan assisted - 1

Fan grill

The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. pork hock).

SMEG SFA4920MCX - Fan grill - 1

Baker's function

The combination of the fan with just the bottom heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.

SMEG SFA4920MCX - Baker's function - 1

Fan forced

The combination of the fan and the circular heating element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) allows you to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same temperatures and type of cooking. Hot air circulation ensures instant and even distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without odours and flavours mingling.

SMEG SFA4920MCX - Fan forced - 1

Supercook

The combination of fan assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without odours and flavours mingling. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking.

Traditional cooking tips

General advice

  • Use a fan assisted function to achieve consistent cooking at several levels.
  • It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).

Advice for cooking meat

  • Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.
  • Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it needs another few minutes cooking.

Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan grill

  • Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
  • With the Fan grill function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
    • We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.

Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and biscuits

  • Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb the heat better.
  • The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
  • To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: At the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
  • If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10^ C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.

To save energy

  • Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven.
  • Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
  • Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.
