3.1. 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 34 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...

SMEG FMI120N - Why the food is heated - 1

... they go through glass and porcelain...

SMEG FMI120N - Why the food is heated - 2

... and are absorbed by the foods.

SMEG FMI120N - Why the food is heated - 3

3.2. Instructions

SMEG FMI120N - Instructions - 1

High temperature inside the oven during use

Danger of fire or explosion

  • Do not spray any products near the oven.
  • Do not use or leave flammable materials near the oven.
  • Do not use plastic kitchenware to cook food (except with the microwave function).
  • Do not put sealed tins or containers in the oven.
  • Do not leave the oven unattended during cooking operations where fats or oils could be released.
  • Remove all trays and racks which are not required during cooking

3.3. What type of containers may be used?

Microwave function

In the microwave function, it is important to remember that the microwaves are reflected by metallic surfaces. Glass, porcelain, ceramic, plastic and paper will allow the microwaves to pass through.

Therefore, metallic pans and dishes for cooking or containers with metallic components or decorations may not be used in the microwave. Glassware and ceramic with metallic decorations or parts (e.g. lead glass) may not be used.

The ideal materials to be used for cooking in a microwave oven are refractory, heat-resistant glass, porcelain or ceramic. Very fine crystal and porcelain should only be used for a short time, to defrost or reheat foods that have already been cooked.

Test the dishes

Place the dish inside the oven at the maximum power level for 20 seconds. If it is cold or not very hot, it is suitable. However, if it gets very hot or causes an electrical arch, it is not suitable.

Hot foods transmit heat to the dish, which may become very hot. Therefore, always use a glove!

Grill function

In the case of the grill function, the dish must be resistant to temperatures of at least 250^ .

Plastic dishes are not suitable.

Combined function

In the combined function, the dishes that are used must be suitable for both microwave and grill cooking.

Aluminium containers and foils

Precooked foods in aluminium containers or wrapped in aluminium foil may be placed in the microwave oven if the following instructions are followed:

  • Pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions that are printed on the packaging,
  • Aluminium containers should not be higher than 3cm and they should not come into contact with the walls of the cavity (minimum distance 3cm ). The aluminium lid should be removed.
  • Place the aluminium container directly on the rotating plate. If the grille is used, the container should be placed on a porcelain plate. Never put the container directly on the grille!
  • The cooking time will be longer because the microwaves only enter the food from above. In case of doubt, only use microwave-safe dishes.
  • Aluminium foil may be used to reflect the microwaves during the defrosting process. Delicate foods, such as poultry or minced meat, may be protected from excessive heat by covering the respective ends.
  • Important: the aluminium foil must not come into contact with the walls of the cavity, as this could cause an electrical arch.

Lids

The use of glass or plastic lids or adherent film is recommended, for the following reasons:

  1. They prevent excessive evaporation (especially in very long cooking periods);
  2. The cooking process is faster;
  3. The food does not go dry;
  4. The aroma is preserved.

The lid should have holes to avoid any type of pressure from building up. Plastic bags should also have openings. Baby bottles and baby food jars and other similar containers must only be heated without the lid, as they might explode if it is left on.

The following table gives general guidelines on the type of dishes that are suitable for each situation.

ENSURE THAT THE PLUG IS NOT IN
THE SOCKET.

4.2. Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the surfaces in a good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.

4.3. Ordinary daily cleaning

Always use only specific products that do not contain abrasive or chlorine-based acids.

Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

4.4. Food stains and residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.

Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

4.5. Cleaning the appliance

Outer surface

  1. Clean the outer surface with a neutral detergent, lukewarm water and a damp cloth.
  2. Do not allow water to pass through the outer structure.

Inside

  1. After each use, clean the inside walls with a damp cloth.
  2. Do not allow water to enter the ventilation holes of the microwave oven.
  3. If it has been some time since the last cleaning and the cavity of the microwave oven is dirty, put a glass of water on the tray and connect the microwave at maximum power for 4 minutes. The steam that is released will soften the dirt, which will be easy to clean with a soft cloth.

Important! The appliance should not be cleaned with steam cleaning machines. The steam may reach the charged parts and cause a short circuit.

The most soiled stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cleaning product.

Then they should be rinsed with hot water and dried well.

  1. Clean accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, steep them first and then use a brush and a sponge. The accessories may be washed in the dishwasher. Ensure that the rotating plate and respective base are always clean.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Door, door-hinges and front of the appliance

  1. These parts must always be clean, especially the contact surfaces between the door and the front of the appliance, so that there are no leaks.
  2. To clean, use a neutral detergent and lukewarm water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Mica covers

Always keep the mica covers clean. Food remaining in the covers may deform it or produce sparks if they go on fire. Therefore, they should be cleaned on a regular basis, but abrasive cleaning products or sharp objects should not be used. Do not remove the covers, to avoid any risk.

4.6. Troubleshooting

The appliance does not function properly:

  • Is the power plug correctly inserted in the socket?
  • Is the door properly closed? The door should make an audible click when it closes.
  • Are there any foreign bodies between the door and the ring?

The foods do not heat up or they heat very slowly:

  • Did you use a metallic dish by mistake?
  • Did you select the right operating time and power level?
  • Did you place a larger or colder amount of food than usual in the microwave?

The food is too hot, dry or burned:

  • Did you select the right operating time and power level?

The display shows "HOT"!

  • The temperature in the components compartment reached a safety limit. Check the installation conditions.

There are noises while the appliance is in operation:

  • Is there an electrical arch inside the microwave?
    Is the dish coming into contact with the walls of the cavity?
  • Are there loose skewers or spoons inside the microwave?

The inside lighting does not come on:

  • If all of the functions are operating correctly, the bulb is probably blown. You may continue to use the appliance.
  • The light bulb may only be replaced by the Technical Support Service.

The power cable is damaged

  • The power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer, authorised agents or technicians that are qualified to perform this task, in order to avoid dangerous situations and because special tools are needed.

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 frame in the correct way. Please refer to the following pictures:

SMEG FMI120N - Installation Instructions - 2

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 electrical installation is to be set up so that the appliance can be isolated from the mains with a minimum 3mm all-pole contact separation.

Suitable separation devices include e.g. cutouts, fuses (screw fuses are to be taken out of the holder), RCD's and contactors. This installation must comply with current regulations.

If the electrical connection is done through a plug and this remains accessible after installation, then it is not necessary to provide the mentioned separation device.

Protection against electric shock must be provided by the electrical installation

Warning: The oven must be earthed.

The appliance must not be placed in the vicinity of heating elements, radios or television sets.

In case of fault, the manufacturer and the seller will not accept any responsibility if the installation instructions have not been properly followed.
