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.

Defrosting

General tips for defrosting

1. Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting (porcelain, glass, suitable plastic).
2. The defrosting by weight function and 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. Turn the foods around the moment the microwave beeps and starts to flash on the screen: turn
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Bear in mind that a resting period is required in automatic 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:

2. Double the quantity - double the time

3. Half the quantity – half the time

4. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.

5. Liquid foods heat faster.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Cooking with Grill

In order to get the best results from the grill, use the grille that is supplied along with the appliance.

Place the grille in such a position so that it does not come into contact with the metallic surfaces of the cavity, as there is the danger of an electrical arch being formed, which could damage the appliance.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

1. When the microwave is being used for the first time, it produces some smoke and a smell, which occur because of the use of oils during the manufacture process.
2. After the grill has been used for the first time, it is normal that the area with the holes that protects the grill resistances should start to deform slightly and turn a golden colour, due to the high temperatures.

3. The glass in the door reaches very high temperatures while the grill is being used. In order that the appliance be out of reach of children, it should be situated at a minimum height of 80 cm.

4. While the grill is operating, the walls of the cavity and the grille reach very high temperatures. The use of oven gloves is recommended.

5. During a longer use of the grill, it is normal for the resistances to switch off on a temporary basis, due to the safety thermostat.
6. Important: when the food is grilled or cooked in containers, it is important to check if the container is suitable or not. See the table on the types of dishes!
7. When using the grill, the splashes of grease may reach the resistance and be burned. This is a normal situation and does not represent any operating fault.
8. After each cooking process, clean the inside and the accessories, to prevent the dirt from sticking.

Heat the grill for 2 minutes before use. If there is no reason not to do so, use the grille. The times that are indicated are merely indicative and they may vary depending on the composition and the quantity of food, as well as on the desired results. Fish and meat will taste best if they are coated in a little vegetable oil, herbs and spices and left to marinade for a few hours before being grilled. The salt should only be added after cooking on the grill.

Sausages will not open if they are picked with a fork before being grilled.

Half way through the grill process, supervise the cooking and if necessary, turn the food around or add a little more oil.

The grill is particularly suitable for preparing thin pieces of meat and fish. Thin pieces of meat need only be turned once, while larger pieces will need to be turned several times. In the case of fish, we recommend that the two ends of the fish be joined together, the mouth and the tail before placing on the grill.

Tables and tips – Microwave and grill

The microwave with grill function is ideal for cooking fast and browning meat at the same time. It may also be used to prepare foods “au gratin”.

The microwave and the grill function on an alternate basis. The microwaves cook and the grill browns the food.

Dish	Quantity (g)	Type of container	Power (Watts)	Programme	Time (min.)
Pasta “au gratin”	500g	Low dish	240	2	12-17
Potatoes “au gratin”	800g	Low dish	800	5	20-22
Lasagne	approx. 800 g	Low dish	800	5	15-20
Cottage cheese “au gratin”	approx. 500 g	Low dish	640	4	18-20
2 fresh chicken drumsticks (on the grille)	200 g each	Low dish	440	3	8-10
Meat round	approx. 500 g	Tall, wide container	640	4	17-19
Onion soup “au gratin”	2x200g cups	Soup bowls	440	3	2-4

Before using dishes and containers in the microwave, check that they are microwave-safe. Only use dishes that are microwave-safe.

The dishes used in the combined function must be suitable for both microwave and grill. See the table on the types of dishes to be used.

Remember that the values provided are merely indicative in nature and that they may vary depending on the initial state, the temperature, humidity and the type of food.

If the time is not sufficient to brown the food properly, set the grill function for 5 or 10 minutes more.

"Au gratin" dishes and poultry require between 3 and 5 minutes more cooking time, so that the temperature is distributed uniformly in the food.

If there are no instructions to the contrary, the rotating plate should be used in the cooking process.

The values indicated in the tables are valid for when the cavity is cold (no preheating required in advance).

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.

1. No golden or silver edges and no lead glass.
2. Remember the manufacturer's tips!

3. Do not use metal clips to close the bags. Perforate the bags. Use films only to cover foods.

4. Do not use paper plates.

5. Only shallow aluminium containers without lids. The aluminium must not come into contact with the walls of the cavity.

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 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.

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?

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.

If any other type of fault is noticed, contact the Customer Support Service.

All repairs must be performed by specialised technicians.
