materials can char and may
fire. FIRE RISK!
WARNING!
If you see smoke or fire, keep
the door closed in order to
smother the flames. Switch off
the oven and take the plug out
of the socket or cut off the oven
power supply.
WARNING!
Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the
microwave. FIRE RISK!
WARNING!
Do not heat liquids or other
foods in closed containers
since these may explode
readily.
WARNING!
This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
WARNING!
If the oven has a combined
function mode (microwave with
other means of heating),
children should not be allowed
to use the oven without adult
supervision on account of the
high temperatures generated.
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;

•Never heat baby foods or
drinks in bottles or jars with the
teats or lids on them. After
heating the food mix or shake
well so that the heat is spread
evenly. Check the food
temperature before feeding this
to the child. DANGER OF
BURNING!
•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. It 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!
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.
The spoon cannot come in
contact with the cavity walls -
minimum distance 3 cm.
This oven is exclusively for
domestic use!
•Use the oven only for preparing
meals.
•Avoid damaging the oven or
other dangerous situations by
following these instructions:
•Do not switch on the oven
without the turntable support,
the turntable ring and the
respective plate being in place.
•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!
•If microwaves are used please
make sure there are no
inappropriate objects inside of
the oven, including trays, wire
racks or griddles which make
part of the appliance and shall
be only used with Grill or Hot-
Air functions.
•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.
•Use only dishes suitable for
microwaves. Before using
dishes and containers in the
microwave, check that these
are suitable (see the section on
types of dishes).

3. THE ADVANTAGES OF MICROWAVES
In conventional ovens, heat radiated
by electrical elements or gas burners
slowly penetrates the food from
outside to inside. On account of this
there is a major amount of energy is
wasted heating the air, the oven
components and the food containers.
In a microwave oven, heat is
generated by the food itself and the
heat travels from inside to outside. No
heat is lost to the air, the walls of the
oven cavity or the dishes and
containers (if these are suitable for use
in microwave oven), in other words,
only the food is heated.
Microwave ovens have the following
advantages:
•Shorter cooking times; in general
these are up to 3/4 less than the time
required for conventional cooking.
•Ultra-fast food defrosting thus
reduces the danger of bacterial
development.
•Energy savings.
•Conservation of the nutritional value
of foods due to the shorter cooking
times.
•Easy to clean.
How a microwave oven works?
In a microwave oven there is a high
tension valve called a magnetron
which converts electrical energy into
microwave energy. These
electromagnetic waves are channelled
to the interior of the oven through a
wave guide and distributed by a
metallic spreader or through a
turntable.
Inside the oven the microwaves
propagate in all directions and are
reflected by the metal walls, uniformly
penetrating the food.
Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water
molecules vibrate when subjected to
microwaves.
The friction between molecules
produces heat which raises the
temperature of the food, de-freezing it,
cooking it or keeping it hot.
Since the heat arises inside the food:
•This can be cooked with little or no
liquid or fats/oils;
•De-freezing, heating or cooking in a
microwave oven is quicker than in a
conventional oven;
•The vitamins, minerals and
nutritional substances in the food are
conserved;
•The natural colour and aroma of the
food are unchanged.
Microwaves pass through china, glass,
cardboard or plastic but do not go
through metal. For this reason, metal
containers or ones with metal parts
must not be used in a microwave
oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal...
... but go through glass and china...
... and are absorbed by foods.
