• The interior of the appliance becomes hot when in operation. Do not touch the heating elements inside the appliance. Always use oven gloves to remove or insert accessories or ovenware.
• WARNING: Do not heat liquids or other foods in sealed containers. They are liable to explode.
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the appliance due to the possibility of ignition.
• The appliance is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
• Warning! The oven cannot be used if:
• The door is not closed correctly;
• The door hinges are damaged;
• The surfaces of the contact 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.

- If smoke is emitted, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

- Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. Care must be taken when handling the container.

• 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.

- WARNING! When removing the container from the microwave, make sure it is not stuck to the turntable to avoid it from falling on the floor.

- The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

- Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in the appliance since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

- WARNING! Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE RISK!

- BEWARE! 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. If 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!

Installation

• 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, 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.
• The installation must comply with current regulations.
• Protection against electric shock must be provided by the electrical installation.
• WARNING! The oven must be earthed.
• WARNING! The appliance is intended to be built in. Please refer to the last pages of this user manual for detailed information on the installation dimensions.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• WARNING! Cut the power supply before cleaning and maintenance.
• The appliance should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
• Failure to maintain the appliance in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

- Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass door since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

- Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

- 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".

- WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Please refer to the chapter "CHANGING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB".

Service and Repair

- WARNING! Cut the power supply before repair.

- WARNING! Only a competent person can carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

- WARNING! If the door or door seals are damaged, the appliance must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

- If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized agents, or qualified technicians to avoid dangerous situations.

- Repair and maintenance work, especially on current-carrying parts, may only be carried out by technicians authorized by the manufacturer.

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.
• Do not use metallic dishes and containers during the microwave function. Before using dishes and containers, see the section on types of dishes.
• Never remove the mica cover on the ceiling of the oven interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food from damaging the microwave generator.
• 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.
• Do not use the oven for frying as it is impossible to control the temperature of oil heated by microwaves.
• The base and the grills can bear a maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.

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 3/4 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 through 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.

When the programme is finished, the microwave beeps 3 times and the screen displays “End”. The beeps are repeated every 30 seconds, until the door is opened or the “STOP” button is pressed.

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°C.

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 3 cm and they should not come into contact with the walls of the cavity (minimum distance 3 cm). 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.

Cleaning and care

BEFORE CLEANING the microwave, ENSURE THAT THE PLUG IS NOT IN THE SOCKET.

After using the appliance, let it cool off. Do not clean the appliance with abrasive cleaning products, scourers that will scratch the surface, or sharp objects.

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.

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

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.

Environmental protection

Disposal of the packaging

The packaging bears the Green Point mark.

Dispose of all the packaging materials such as cardboard, expanded polystyrene and plastic wrapping in the appropriate bins. In this way you can be sure that the packaging materials will be re-used.

Disposal of equipment no longer used

According to European Directive 2012/19/EU on the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), home electrical appliances should not be put into the normal systems for disposal of solid urban waste.

Outdated appliances should be collected separately to optimise component material recovery and re-cycling rates and to prevent potential harm to human health and the environment. The symbol of a rubbish container superimposed by a diagonal cross should be put on all such products to remind people of their obligation to have such items collected separately.

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. Consumers should contact their local authorities or point of sale and request information on the appropriate places to leave their old home electrical appliances.

Before disposing of your appliance, render it non-usable by pulling out the power cable, cutting this and disposing of it.

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.
