Question 1

How to activate and use the economy mode on the FAR FMO20?

Accepted Answer

The FAR FMO20 is not equipped with a distinct economy mode. However, you can significantly reduce its energy consumption by smartly using the 5 microwave power levels available on the Power control button, according to your needs.

For minimal energy consumption, opt for the lowest power levels:

17 % for softening ice
33 % for soup, stew, or defrosting
55 % for stews and fish
77 % for rice, fish, chicken, or minced meat
100 % for quick reheating, boiling water, vegetables, and drinks

Therefore, use the 17 %, 33 %, or 55 % levels as much as possible, as these levels consume less electrical power. Adjust the power by turning the Power knob to the desired value, then set the cooking time with the Timer button. The oven will start automatically.

Important: After each use, always set the timer to 0 to completely turn off the device; otherwise, it will remain unnecessarily active and consume energy.

Regular maintenance also helps to maintain optimal energy efficiency. Clean the interior after each use with a slightly damp cloth, and ensure that the door frame and seal are clean. A clean oven heats better and consumes less energy.
